Pet friendly strictly by arrangement. The Cottage features two bedrooms, full bathroom, cosy open plan living area with a wood burner and two outdoor areas. In front of the cottage, you’ll find the spa pool under the stars, as well as room to BBQ and dine outdoors. The side porch opens out into a secluded cottage garden - look up! In summer you’ll find trailing wisteria and climbing roses perfuming the air. The garden and grounds are a sanctuary for birds thanks to over five years of biodynamic practices. More than 30 species of bird have been spotted here. From the Bellbird bringing in the dawn chorus, Tui celebrating the sunset and the Morepork closing off the night, vibrant bird life defines the relaxing backdrop of the Estate. There is much to enjoy here in the tranquil surrounds. The immediate garden area is wrapped by a river-stone wall and home to established trees and flowers to charm you. Discover the bustling orchard of plum, peach, nectarine, pear, apple and citrus. Explore further! You will find the twin oaks that have watched over the Homestead since its founding over a century ago. Each corner of the grounds has its theme, from multiple plantings of native New Zealand plants and trees to the Rhododendron and Australian tree corners. Further afield, there is much to see and do. Around the corner, walk the Tinui Anzac Walkway up to the Anzac Cross – marking the first Anzac Commemoration in New Zealand in 1916\. Look around charming Tinui Village. We are centrally located to Mataikona, Castlepoint, Otahome and Riverdale beaches with a choice of options for swimming (Riversdale is patrolled during the summer season), walks, fishing, snorkelling and sights to see. The coastal walk at Castlepoint and up to the tallest lighthouse in the North Island is a must do. Inland, Rewanui Forest Park offers forest walks with notable plantings of native trees. Tennis court hire is available at Castlepoint. Or play golf at the Castlepoint Golf Course or Riversdale Beach Golf Club. Both golf courses are nine-hole courses – with the option to extend the Riversdale course to 18 holes by playing twice from different tees. The General Stores at Castlepoint and Riversdale also offer coffee and take-aways. Great pub meals can be had at the Whakataki Pub just 15 minutes away and the newly reopened Tinui Pub just a 5 minute walk away. More about Rose Cottage. The kitchen features all you need to prepare meals. Note that the closest supermarket is in Masterton. The cottage has its own spa pool newly filled for you with fresh spring water. As the water is replaced for each visit, we use no chlorine or residual chemicals. The water is treated with ozone which dissipates as oxygen on contact with air. The spa pool is surrounded by a tall camelia hedge providing privacy and a delightful scent when in flower. Wi-Fi is available and included. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender -

Good for winter or summer, with the woodburner and the spa. Surrounded by trees, places to walk. The local pub does a mean (big!) burger, and Castlepoint is a short drive away for a walk or surf or swim. Fully kitted out kitchen, and Masterton supermarkets not far away. Wifi works fine. Perfect escape for a long weekend. ##### blair c. Stayed 3 nights in Dec 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Pamela G. Apr 14, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Stunning cottage Driving down the treeladen entrance to the property heralded the beginning of our stay at Rose cottage . We were greeted warmly by Hans and he introduced us to the cottage and property . The decor and attention to detail in the cottage is difficult to describe in words,however I will endeavour. Blush walls, beautiful drapes and furniture. Fully equipped kitchen and such a comfortable bed . However ,the little touches provided by Hans were thr most memorable. A beautiful flower arrangement f fresh from the gardrn,the electric blanket turned on to warm the bed, a large bottle of organic fejoa and apple juice in the fridge and wood freshly cut for the fire . From the cottage we enjoyed its close location to Castlepoint lighthouse and a meal at thr newly refurbished Tinui Tavern. In all an unforgettble experience. ##### Pamela G.
