The Alchemist Retreat, Private Studio in Carterton

Beautiful, peaceful and handy to everything.

A gorgeous spot in Carterton with so much love and care put into the place. Great communication - thank you for having us!

Spotlessly clean and oh so quaint. The layout makes it feel spacious, even though it is not very big. The bed is super comfortable. I was a bit worried about a double bed but it felt more like queen bed - I needn’t have worried. The cooking facilities are simple and there’s no hob or extractor fan. We were reluctant to cook in the main room. There is a bbq though if you want to DIY using some of the great local produce. There are also plenty of places to eat out.We didn’t visit any wineries this time - we explored the region more. I don’t know why we hadn’t heard more about what a great tourist attraction Wairarapa is! Aotearoa Stonehenge was so interesting & fun - not at all what I was expecting.We loved our stay in The Alchemists Retreat. I think we’ll be back for one of the Stonehenge events and we’ll definitely stay here again.

Highly recommend, a really cute setting and clean. Communication was excellent - thank you we will be back

Nice and clean, very relaxing with interesting decor. A little oasis after a very long drive 🚗
