Beautiful Wee Cottage
We loved our getaway weekend at Drovers Cottage, a beautiful wee cottage with a gorgeous view out over the countryside. Far enough out of town to be away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to only be a short drive to the town centre. Tom was just lovely, so welcoming and friendly, and the fresh bread and spreads were a lovely touch. We were very impressed with the rooster who waited until after 6am to sound his alarm clock :) We will definitely be back to stay again.

Great stay in a beautiful location
Tom was so welcoming, he even let us hold one of his chickens! The house is beautiful and lived all the small touches like breakfast foods, butter and milk. We loved hanging out by the pool and chatting with Tom. Highly recommend this place for a weekend away!

Warm and comfortable relaxing place to stay
Fantastic place to stay. Thanks Tom for lighting the fire for us and making it toasty and warm to settle into. Lovely place to stay, comfortable bed and seating, great shower pressure, lovely outlook and private setting. Delightful to have breakfast out in the sun looking across the fields and watching the bird life. Nice and close for Wairarapa mini adventures and dinners. Thanks for a great place to relax and get away into the countryside.

What a delightful cottage in a peaceful setting. It was so cosy and welcoming with the fire roaring when we arrived. So quiet and dark at night, which is a must for me. Tom is the perfect host. I'll be back to learn more about the history of the old hotel. Thank you for the breakfast goodies.

Delightful weekend
The property was very homely and had everything we needed. The owners were very generous and had supplied us with breakfast food. We enjoyed the country location being "townies" and the addition of the log fire. The only small downside was the TV reception being intermittent. We have notified the owners. Alison Kinvg

Thanks very much to Tom and Penny. The cottage was exactly what we need. Warm ,quiet clean and well located. 👌 we will be coming back sometime. The only thing was book a batch made the booking unnecessary difficult with codes and passwords that didn't work. Thanks to Penny for putting that right ✅️
