The 540 Lodge
Attached to the Main House is the gem of the property—The Coach House. This quaint and cozy fully-equipped ensuite is most suited for couples looking for a weekend getaway or solo travellers looking to get to know Wairarapa locals and explore the region. Filled with eclectic art and treasures collected locally and from around the world, this unique space offers everything you need. This property is also suitable for ‘work warriors’ who might be looking for a weekend getaway to focus on a project or seeking to escape the hustle of Wellington for a night or two. For this reason, the space is laptop friendly; featuring a dining table suitable for work - looking out onto the garden and pool along with free high-speed wifi. The main house attached includes, a billiards room, large ball room (capacity 70 - 80 standing, seats 12 in formal dining), baby grand piano and catering size kitchen. Guest are free to use all facilities on the property and are encouraged to explore the gardens. Dinner at an additional fee can also be provided and served in the main din
We purchased the property two years ago with the dream of escaping the everyday hustle and bustle for the tranquility of the Wairarapa—and we wanted to share this treasure with like minded guests. The property is absolute magic from the moment you enter the bush clad driveway until you wander through the tranquil and peaceful surroundings. We know for you, like us, it will not take long to fall in love. Complimenting the natural beauty of the exterior is a cozy and eclectic interior filled with treasured art and objects gathered both locally and from around the world. We love entertaining and meeting new guests. On most days you are likely to find us either tending to the garden or working in our onsite hair salon. We hope you will join us in this special place and indulge in the wonders of The 540 for yourself.
Let us make your dream getaway a vivid reality. Nestled in the foothills of the Tararua Ranges in North Wairarapa is a hidden property waiting to be shared with guests. A short drive from Masterton and only an hour and a half from Wellington, this tranquil property has a range of oases to make a dream day, weekend, or special event a reality. Leave the city and enter a contemporary style of country life that fully embraces the pleasures of fine wine and good food. Drive through the scenic hills and roadside orchards to embrace the true beauty that is the Wairarapa. Wairarapa is about one and half hours drive north from the capital city of Wellington. The region is bordered by the rugged Tararua Mountains to the west and the wild Pacific Ocean to the east. Known for its hot, languid summers, the Wairarapa provides a relaxing, refined country break away from the pressures of urban life. In and around Martinborough wine village, famed for its award-winning Pinot Noir, you'll discover a host of welcoming vineyards. Continue the trail through Gladstone and Masterton—the home of The 540 Lodge.
