About this Holiday House

Located at Tora in the South Wairarapa - 5 minute drive from the rugged Tora coast, a scenic 35 min drive from Martinborough and 2 hour drive from Wellington city. Set in a secluded and peaceful spot the Cottage ensures you privacy while not too far off the beaten track. With touches of recycled timber, unique decor and natural textiles, the Cottage has a warm rustic, whimsical vibe. Built from recycled materials, the cosy cottage has an open kitchen-living area, one private bedroom and inside bathroom with flushing toilet. The comfy queen size bed is dressed with quality linen and thick blinds for a shamelessly long sleep in. Leather sofas, feather cushions, wool throws and a wood burner come together to create a charming, snug and relaxing space. Double french doors lead onto a long deck. Take a seat soaking in the sounds from the regenerating ngahere (bush) while watching the sun set over the rolling farmland in the distance. After dark, snuggle up on the porch and stargaze up at the expansive South Wairarapa Dark Sky reserve. The starry sky at night is stunning. Te kai te me inu - eating and drinking: Longspur Eco Cottage is self-catering. Bring your own food and drink, and cook using the Weber BBQ or gas cook top/oven. You’ll find all the cutlery, crockery, pots and pans that you’ll need - from coffee plunger to paua mincer. If you're an active relaxer there's plenty to do. Highly recommended is the 5km bush walk up to the Rocky Knob - 318 mtrs above sea level to where you'll feel most alive. The views are breathtaking. Bush Bathing - sorry no hot tub involved but a quiet meander in the bush alone can do a world of good for our mental health and well-being. Listen, observe, smell, breath, feel. Tonic for the soul. Challenge your mate over a board game or browse through the eclectic selection of books. Longspur is a truly restful place. You’ll feel this the first time you drive up the track to the Cottage – a hidden treasure that forces you to take a deep breath and just... relax.

The Cottage is a small space with one private bedroom. Best suited to a couple, small family or four individuals happy to sleep within close proximity of each other. Sorry no hunting available.

Absolutely perfect peaceful spot! We loved every thoughtful detail in the cabin, and the sense of being wrapped in nature. Much thanks to the owners for sharing their space with us, we will definately be back 😊
Amber Clausner
Magical stay in beautiful bush - we were in complete luxury with the fire, top quality bed and all amenities. Loved that this was completely offline and off grid. So much to do inside and outside, highly recommend! Thank you so much!

Lovely cozy cottage for an off-grid break. Tastefully and comfortably decorated, brings back all the memories of summer at the bach as a kid. We enjoyed 3 very comfortable days relaxing & exploring around the cottage & Tora itself. Loved the peace & quiet.
