House on the Edge of Town
About this space
My place is a great base for exploring the region with easy access to the wild South Coast. It is on the cycle way from Featherston to Cross Creek which is the start of the Rimutaka Incline Trail, and is also well situated for enjoying the many regional walks. 15 minutes away, discover the picturesque Tauherenikau River Valley where you can walk the river gorge track or cool off with a swim in the river.For the shopper in you, Greytown is just 10 minutes away and it's only 15 minutes to the vineyards of Martinborough.Enjoy exploring Featherstons' unique gourmet delights - C'est Cheese, the Baker, Sweet and Salty (Italian Delhi), as well as a plethora of quirky vintage, book and coffee shops.
The space
There are 2 reasonable size bedrooms with Queen Beds, an open plan living/dining/kitchen area, a bathroom with handbasin and shower and a separate toilet.
My place is a low tech, uncluttered cosy and comfortable space to spend time rain or shine.
The woodfire is a joy in cooler weather and lends itself to hunkering down with a good book and some laid back vibes.
The kitchen
I personally like to cook on the woodburner on a cosy winter night and whenever I can. My kitchen has a four ringed gas burner, an electric oven and a reasonably large fridge.
There's a toaster, kettle and standard size food processor for use.

Hi ! I am a longtime lacto-vegetarian and have been following a yoga diet and lifestyle since the 80's when I joined an ashram in London. I live on the edge of town in Featherston, Wairarapa in New Zealand where I grow most of my own organic veg. I am a practising artist and a newcomer to pottery. I try to visit India regularly to immerse myself in the precepts and practice of bhakti yoga.
