The Venus room at Glendower Homestead

The hosts, the facilities. Everything has been perfectly organised and thought about. A lovely cake to enjoy. Luxurious bathroom - soaking in a bath .

N/A

Great set-up for a weekend retreat away from life. Close enough for the finer things in life, wine, dining, and travel destinations, but relaxed enough to lounge and read a book.

Nothing, it was amazing

Great location, private and dark. great for star gazing! comfortable and very well presented. our second visit, we'll be back

Beautiful accomodation, can’t fault it!! Jen made a delicious cake for us on arrival, enjoyed the bath, the china cups and plates, the great assortment of tea’s and coffee’s and the stroll through the amazing grounds. The peacefulness and serenity is lovely. The linen on the bed was 10/10 The bed was very comfortable, electric blanket, blankets to sit out on the lawn to star gaze at night, everything was well thought of and catered to. Loads of room in the walk in wardrobe and the large wall mirror was great. The history of the house in the books provided was amazing and very interesting! If we ever come to the Wairarapa again we will definitely book The Venus room again. Driving up through the bush entrance was beautiful, the horses and baby lambs, the well kept gardens, the pool and the pool room and its history, we absolutely loved our 1 night stay, would of loved to have stayed longer, the bathroom is an absolute gem!!! Thank you Jen, this is by far one of the best places we have stayed, we loved it here 💖

We loved it here, there was nothing we disliked The place is very very clean and comfortable

The beautiful setting, the warm welcome we received with added extras, a home made cake! Yogurt, muesli and added bits a pieces. Jen and Jim are an absolute treasure! This was opulence and kiwi magic at its best!

It was all stunning!

Very comfortable and nice and quiet. Good place to rest.

The decor, room layout and facilities are exceptional. Our host Jen was warm and very friendly also our welcome cake was wonderful. I highly recommend this for a romantic get away

It was perfect 🥰

We had an absolutely lovely stay here. Every little detail had been thought of, and the room was perfectly clean, and beautifully appointed. The location is super quiet and peaceful, yet only 10 mins from town. We relaxed and enjoyed our stay, and were even supplied with a home-made cake! We will be visiting again.

Stunning location and accommodation

Nothing to not like!

loved all the little details such as freshly baked cake, delicious muesli, oat milk in the fridge, the locally made crockery and teas, the extra blankets for star gazing, the booklet about the house's heritage and the local area. I could go on and on. The place was super clean and well-presented. Loved the huge wall feature in the bathroom of the original pool. Vault visited a couple of times and was really into cuddles. We enjoyed a morning walk in the surrounding bush, checking out all the colourful fungi, whilst piwakawaka flitted about.

nothing - it was great!

Lovely host, very tasty homemade cake and peaceful surroundings. Room had a comfortable bed and lots of attention to detail.

Beautiful, So much care with attention to detail, well thought out, and so many nice touches. Highly recommend, will definitely be coming back.

Loved the home made feijoa and ginger cake at arrival and overall luxury feel of the room and bathroom. Beautiful location and garden view.

I only missed a milk frother for my morning cappuccino....

Beautiful location, very comfortable room with thoughtful touches - a homemade cake on arrival, nice toiletries, excellent range of teas etc, blankets for sitting outside. Even a choice of pillows. Everything thought of. Recommend!

Exceptional accommodation in a beautiful setting.

The most amazing location, accommodation and lemon yoghurt cake. Wish we were staying longer. If ever back in the area will definitely book a longer stay.

Everything! It's such a beautiful spot, the serenity can't be beat! We took the opportunity to stop off on the way home from a wedding, and it was the perfect spot to rest and recuperate (we even had a cheeky bath!). The bed is amazing (loved the pillow selection), we both slept so well after a busy weekend. Everything you need for a platter and wine, or a morning cuppa is available. On that note, it's quite close to the village but definitely grab your groceries on the way there just so you don't have to leave - you won't want to! Thanks again for having us, we'll definitely be back! P.s Even if you're not doing a star gazing tour, I'd highly recommend going out and looking at the stars in the evening. Mind-blowing.

Friendly hosts, baked a cake for when your trip and they even leave a box so you can take it home. They think of everything!

Everything was just perfect. The location is stunning and the owners are lovely!

What a cute and relaxing place! We were blown away by the amenities - the hosts really go out of their way to anticipate your needs. Incredibly quiet and peaceful, it was the perfect spot to escape from the city. There is a great selection of teas and coffees, and the welcome cake was an amazing addition, we just wish we had bought a container to take the leftovers away with us!

The bed was a bit firm for our liking, but other than that we couldn't fault it!

Our stay here has been absolutely the best we've ever experienced. From the delightful homemade cake to the peaceful ambiance, everything exceeded our expectations. The place is not only incredibly comfortable but also very clean. The bathtub was another highlight—we absolutely loved it. This place truly feels special, and we can't recommend it enough!
