For a Wairarapa wedding, conference or teambuilding venue, a location for a family or corporate event, or just a quiet romantic retreat in the South Wairarapa countryside, look no further than Pounui Homestead in Palliser Bay, 33kms south of  Featherston.
Set on thirty three acres just an hour and a half from Wellington, Pounui sits in covenanted New Zealand bush teeming with native birds. Featuring a mountain stream, a small olive grove and a citrus and pip-fruit orchard, the homestead property is within easy walking distance of beautiful Lake Pounui and just up the road from famous Wharekauhau Lodge.

Peaceful & private, Pounui Cottage is the ultimate South Wairarapa retreat accommodation for families, groups of friends, or couples looking for a romantic hideaway. The historic self-contained former shearers’ quarters offers cosy décor and will accommodate up to nine with its four bedrooms and two bathrooms. A large open-plan living and dining area opens on to a secluded courtyard with barbecue and brazier.

Pounui’s large replica heritage barn is the perfect venue for your wedding reception, conference, corporate event or special get-together. Facilities are in place for self-catering or to bring in a caterer of your choice.

Pounui Homestead really is a South Wairarapa paradise with stunning scenery and serene surroundings. We look forward to hosting you on our property.
