Blissful stay at Country Bliss
The most charming bach we have stayed at in the past few years. Absolutely delightful, comfortable, and so full of character. Beautifully decorated. We enjoyed sitting by the fireplace in the evenings. Came back to Wellington with lemons and feijoas picked from its garden. Will definitely stay there again😊

Perfect getaway
We’ve stayed here before and will stay again, perfect for us and our parents to have a couple of family days away together, lovely outdoor area for meals and close to town yet really peaceful plus we can bring our dog which is our reason for booking properties as he’s always on the tour!

A really relaxing spot
Amazing garden to spend your days and evenings in. Away from the hustle and bustle of the main St. The 20 minute walk back is enjoyable... And bikes and car another option.

Wonderful historic cottage
My family and I stayed here while visiting New Zealand from Alaska. It is a nice little cottage with a beautiful garden full of citrus trees. The wood stove came in handy on a cold night too. I highly recommend this property to other travelers.

Perfect weekend getaway
The cottage and location are perfect for a weekend away from Wellington. Walk to Greytown centre and the rail trail or just relax in the cute cottage with the wood fire burning. The cottage is very clean and tidy (much nicer than any hotels!) and there’s everything you need.
Will definitely be back.

Excellent Cottage
Beautifully renovated historic cottage, very well equipped and clean and comfortable. All the facilities one needs and the owner was good to communicate with.
Down a nice quiet street but only a 10 minute walk into the centre of town. Greytown has a really nice vibe to it and I would highly recommend staying at the Country Bliss Cottage
