Cascadia

Cascadia

Masterton, Wairarapa

Cascadia is set on a beautiful riverside peninsula just 15 minutes from Masterton in the Wairarapa.

Cascadia is the perfect blend of a back-to-basics nature retreat and a luxurious stay.

Built from New Zealand-grown timbers, the cosy cottage has a comfortable super king loft bed, kitchen-living area and bathroom. There's a wood burner to keep you snug and double french doors with a pretty outlook to a gorgeous glade.

Waingawa River is within a stones throw. Take a stroll to the spring fed four-metre waterfall and swimming hole, where you can swim, read, sunbathe and relax. Or wander through the native bush for a rejuvenating walk in the cool forest air. In the evening, take a soak in the wood-fired outdoor bath and watch as the river flows past.

Doze to the sounds of the river and bird singsong. After dark, snuggle up on your private porch and stargaze at the expansive Wairarapa sky.

FROM $385 p/n

  • things to do

    Cascadia is a place to take time out and relax. Tune into the white noise of the river rapids and birdsong above. Swim in the river, toast marshmallows on the brazier - and enjoy a long, hot soak in the wood-fired outdoor bath (as long as there is no fire ban during your visit).

    Battle it out over a board game or enjoy some peaceful mindfulness with the colouring-in books provided. 

    If you'd like to venture out and about, visit the local farmers' markets or book a vineyard lunch and tasting of the Wairarapa's renowned pinot noir wines.

    Visit the beautiful Queen Elizabeth Park in Masterton for mini golf, miniature train rides, croquet, animal parks, and bike hire. There are also pop-up food trucks on Saturdays 10am - 2pm. Learn about Māori artefacts and admire the beautiful contemporary artwork at Aratoi Museum.

    The Glade was an amazing spot to relax and unwind. The sound of the river was amazing. It is a lovely, private, well-set-up slice of paradise.

    We are so glad we picked The Glade to stay at. It looks gorgeous in the photos, and they don’t do justice to how stunning the scenery is; we were amazed! Rosie was very helpful and welcoming. 10/10 would recommend.

    We absolutely loved our stay at The Glade! Rose and Dan were so kind, responsive, and helpful; they wanted to make sure we made the most of our time there. The location was sublime, close to amazing hikes that we could access without a car, and swimming spots we could have a dip in! But the best part was relaxing in the cottage (or the White Noise Nook) with a book, absolute heaven! We can't recommend The Glade enough; we hope to be back one day!

    Gorgeous private little hideaway which feels miles away from anywhere. I loved the fire bath, the private bush walks, waterfalls and river swimming holes.

    Just lovely. The Glade was cosy and had everything you might need for your stay. The setting was top-notch, and we even got to enjoy a swim and an outdoor bath. I can recommend toasting marshmallows on the brazier.
