Oscar Endorsement
What did Adrien Brody - Oscar winner (Best Actor) for The Pianist and star of King Kong - think about Rose Cottage?
"Any great hotel experiences?"
-- "Yeah, we stayed at a lovely cottage called Rose Cottage - a little country house in between Martinborough and Greytown. Very inexpensive - not more than a few hundred dollars for the house. I will probably go back again at some point..." (AmericanWay, March 2005).

"Almost too perfect..."
Built in 1861 by Richard Wakelin, publisher of the Wairarapa's first newspaper, Rose Cottage is one of the region's most endearing historic homes.
Malcolm Somerville - author of Cottages of New Zealand - described Rose Cottage as "almost too perfect". He warmly praised the "gourmet kitchen" and the "traditional gardens designed to provide strong texture and colour" (Hodder Moa Beckett, 2000).
Situated on the main road between Martinborough and Greytown, Rose Cottage is close to the region's premier vineyards, antique stores. and restaurants.
The cottage is fully self-contained with four bedrooms (two queen/ two singles); clawfoot bath; log burner; TV, video, and stereo; petanque court; extensive outdoor dining & BBQ; fully-fenced, child-friendly with a trampoline and sandpit.
