JUDE BEST - Celebrant

Welcome to Ohariu Farm Cottage accommodation, where you can rest, unwind and enjoy the serenity of the countryside on a working farm in Wellington.

A charming and romantic hideaway in the tranquil countryside of Ohariu Valley, just 20 minutes from Wellington CBD. This cozy, self-contained cottage is nestled among steep hills and tranquil farmland, offering an intimate retreat away from the city. The cottage, originally an old army barracks building relocated to the property in the 1960s, has been renovated into a comfortable and inviting space. The semi-open plan interior creates a cozy atmosphere, furnished in a simple yet tasteful style, and equipped with a convection oven, ceramic cooktop, and fridge if self-catering.

If you're looking for dining options, there are restaurants just a 10-minute drive away in nearby Johnsonville, such as  Cashmere Lounge in Khandallah.

The hideaway is often used as a pre-wedding or post-wedding retreat for those getting married at Ohariu Farm. Or a romantic private  interlude from the city. Additionally, it serves as a secure stopover for travellers crossing the Cook Strait between Wellington and Picton via the Interislander or Blue Bridge ferries, offering safe parking for trailers and allowing small pets to disembark.

Extended stays are also available upon inquiry.
