Peaceful Getaway

The cottage is very spacious and spotless and in a very quiet location. Sadly it rained for the entirety of our stay so weren’t able to explore the river setting so the Sky tv came in handy! Hosts were super friendly and helpful.

Very peaceful country escape

A perfect cottage for three adults. Furnishings were comfortable and great to have a fully appointed kitchen. Our hosts were available if needed but kept their distance (nice). We will be back.

Ruamahanga Paradise

The little cottage has been renovated to a quality standard. Very quiet and peaceful, with 1 min walk to the river for swimming and fishing.Damian and Tracy are beautiful hosts, inviting us to help ourselves in the orchard, glasshouse, and even eggs from the free range chickens.Masterton is only a few minutes drive on a good road. We fully recommend Northfield Farm Cottage. It's so relaxing. Excellent value for money

On golden pond

Great spacious property in great location by pond. Sights and sounds of nature are wonderful.A couple of little things like plant incursions by back door prevent 5 stars on cleanliness.

Stunning setting

Beautiful cottage far away enough from the main house to feel private. Close to a lovely fishing river so trout for dinner. Very friendly and generous hosts who supplemented our supplies with wonderful fresh eggs. Strongly recommend for a lovely rural break.

Great stay

Although we didn’t spend a lot of time at the cottage it was very nice, we did check in late and we arrived to a very warm house which was great for me and my daughter. Only thing to note is it’s recommend to bring some bottled water as the water is not treated. Thanks Shane

Wonderful warm cottage

This place had everything we needed for our whānau of 3 to enjoy a few nights away. Clean, cosy house, comfy beds. Well appointed kitchen and bathroom. Heat pump kept us warm. Good sized table for board games. Good sized TV and good wifi. Great river walk. My daughter loved the Guinea pigs. The only thing we needed to bring was a coffee plunger.

Excellent quiet stay in the countryside

Nice place for a few days to spend time away from the city. Great location to sit outside reading a book or taking the short walk down to the river. My son loved visiting the guinepig hutch and Zeus the lovely dog who decided on joining us for walkies!
