Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Hidden Valley Getaway

Hidden Valley Getaway, more commonly known as "The Winery", was once a working vineyard/ winery, known as the Hidden Valley Vineyard.

The winery building was built in 1999 out of straw bales. Current owners, and your hosts, Bridget and Jono Hartnell (who live onsite) have recently converted this characteristic building into a fully functional, modern and charming house. Spacious in size, this nearly 200 square metre house is the perfect getaway for family and friend groups.

Hidden Valley Homestay offers spacious, comfortable accommodation nestled in the peaceful Moiki Valley — just 10km from Martinborough and 12km from Greytown. Enjoy beautiful views of surrounding farmland and native bush reserves while still being close to town.


The home features:

-Three bedrooms

-Large main lounge

-Separate games room / second lounge

-Fully equipped kitchen

-Bathroom with separate toilet

The kitchen includes a dishwasher, fridge/freezer, microwave, full oven, and all essential cookware and cutlery. Tea, instant coffee, and sugar are provided. The property is otherwise fully self-catered.

Outside, guests can enjoy the BBQ and pergola area — perfect for relaxing and dining outdoors. The BBQ is self-cleaning, so we kindly ask that you leave it as you found it.

Swimming Pool

Guests are welcome to use the hosts’ outdoor swimming pool, located on the property directly next door to the homestay. The pool is shared with the owners (it is not private).

Use is at guests’ own risk. Children must be supervised at all times.

A great place to cool off and unwind on warm Wairarapa days ☀️

Entertainment

Both living areas include Smart TVs with Freeview, Netflix, and other streaming options.

The games room features a pool table and bar area.

A selection of board games and outdoor games is also available for guests to enjoy during their stay.

Amazing Getaway

Both families had a fantastic 3 nights at this beautiful property while using it as a base to enjoy the region. Had everything you needed - including linen and towels - for a great stay. Only downside was the heat pump struggles to warm such a large space in winter, but an extra layer on while inside fixes that. Totally recommend for anyone wanting to have a relaxing getaway in a beautiful part of Aotearoa.

Lovely setting and space for two families

We appreciate that this house had all we needed for two peaceful nights. We played yard games, woke up to peaceful morning watching birds and sheep, cooked some of our meals, and had plenty of sleeping space. We worried that only one bathroom with five folks would feel a little tricky, but we made it work (having an outside door to the toilet room let us utilize the shower/toilet as two separate rooms), and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Communications with the host were prompt, kind, and easy. Would stay here again!
