About this property

Shy Cottage - Boutique accommodation in Greytown

Boutique accommodation in Greytown, the heart of the glorious Wairarapa and less than 5 minutes walk from Greytown's picturesque town centre

Shy Cottage is a stand alone 1890's settlers cottage, nestled at the back of our property, which allows for privacy and peace and quiet. It was moved onto the section in 2002 and was renovated and insulated so now is cosy, warm and romantic. There is a full kitchen with a dining area and lounge with a wood burner. Off the comfortable bedroom is a lovely bathroom with a claw foot bath and separate shower.

Shy Studio is a cosy peaceful space at the rear of our 1890's settlers cottage. It has a separate entrance and is surrounded by gardens which allow for privacy and peace and quiet.
You are self contained in a lovely light airy room with a comfy bed, sitting and dining area with your own kitchenette

Nestled under the trees is our Garden Spa Bath House. Watch the night sky while sharing a lovely relaxing bath over a wine or two. Please pre-book for an additional $20

Secluded and quiet, both the cottage and studio can be booked as self-catering or with our continental or `DIY' full breakfast kit.

Greytown Break
Property was delightful. Suitably historic and authentic. Only issue was that while we received confirmation of our booking we didn’t receive any details of address and check in procedures which meant that we had to disturb the hosts, who were most accommodating.

great little spot
this was a great little cottage that was really handy to the Greytown shops. The 'Top Pub' is literally a couple of doors down the road and had a great little menu for an easy tea. Lovely spot

Fabulous stay!
Thoroughly recommend to all travellers to stay at Shy Cottage. Streamlined checkin, quaint and well equipped cottage within walking distance to town. Super comfy bed with the most scrumptious linen. Loved my stay, wish it had been longer! Thanks so much !
