Tora Cottage | Peaceful & cosy escape with birdsong & bush trails in the South Wairarapa

1 Bedroom Cottage in Tora, Martinborough

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.
Leather sofas, feather cushions, wool throws and a wood burner come together to create a charming and relaxing space.
The comfy queen size bed is dressed with quality linen and thick blinds for a shamelessly long sleep in.
The loft is a warm and cosy retreat, creating a snug reading nook where you can curl up with a good book, enjoy an uninterrupted afternoon rest, or simply relax, unwind and listen to the sounds of nature.
Double french doors lead onto a long deck. Take a seat soaking in the sounds from the regenerating ngāhere (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 Pāua 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.

Summary: This off grid cabin is beautifully presented, and true to the description. The hosts provided a comprehensive manual, including how all the off grid features worked, and delightful bush walks in the area. We had an amazing, relaxing weekend, and will certainly return!
