Located just north of Wellington in the Reikorangi Valley is Kapiti Rural Retreat
A bush-clad eco-cottage at the edge of the Tararua Forest, with beautiful views, sounds of birdlife and the relaxing flow of the Ngatiawa River nearby. Located in stunning Reikorangi, 55 minutes drive from Wellington, this new off-grid cottage is designed to work with nature and fitted with a heartfelt nod to days gone by.
The Kapiti Rural Retreat is an eco-cottage offering on-site bush and farm walks, a splash in the river, hill climbs to views of Kapiti Island and the South Island, nighttime star gazing, or visits to glow worms.
Sink into the sofa with wine in hand, the wood burner roaring, or cast your favorite online series. Snuggle in a home-spun, home-knitted rug from sheep off the farm, or sit by the outdoor fire pit, roast marshmallows and watch the sunset.
There’s lots to do locally. Waikanae is within 15 minutes’ drive from Kapiti Rural Retreat, with its sandy beaches and well-regarded restaurants, bakery and pubs.
Truly innovative, the Kapiti Rural Retreat raises the bar for unique luxury eco-accommodation in New Zealand.
Guests are welcome to explore our farm by walking our clearly marked tracks. Walk the adjacent Kapakapanui Loop track. Our cottage is only 15 minutes from Waikanae township with it's popular cafes, or head to Waikanae beach or local cycle tracks, designed for all cycling levels.
