Opaki Cabin | The Old Shepherd

1 Bedroom Cabin in Opaki, Masterton

A nod to simpler times with it's battery radio, antique lantern lights, playing cards, gas cooker and outdoor fire.
During your time at the Old Shepherd you may choose to read a book from the little library or just enjoy looking out over the pastures. As the sun sets on the mountains, you could decide to toast marshmallows and cosy up ready for a magnificient night sky.
The Old Shepherd is located 8km north of Masterton on our family farm. In 2023 we celebrated being here for 100 years.
Standing on the front step, you can see the La Gra Vineyard and just beyond the old red barn is Wingate Lane which offers casual dining Tues-Sun. Only 15 minutes up the road is the Pukaha Mt Bruce National Wildlife Centre, home to endangered wildlife such as brown kiwi, whio (blue duck), takahē, kōkako, kākā and tuna (longfin eels).
There is a cooker so that you can make yourself a brew (tea, coffee and milo provided) and an icebox for your food and beverages.
Just behind the hut, the modern outhouse is equipped with a flushed loo and a hot gas shower. We provide your linen and towels.
Come with your phones charged as there is no electricity. We are open Oct-April and provide a starter pack for the brazier but if you are wanting to sit outside all evening, we recommend that you bring some extra wood. Occasionally campers from the Motorhome Association park over in the paddock but they will be self contained and parked away from the hut.

Summary: Absolutely one of the best places I’ve ever stayed at, cosy quaint and just perfect! Coming back again!
Alexander R. Mar 25, 2025 04:05:00 PM
Summary: I found the hut was in a nice location in a very peaceful setting and would have been a good place to relax. I was somewhat surprised to find a lack of power there. There were some solar powered lights but nowhere to charge my phon. There was also no way to lock

Summary: Stunning views and a super quiet spot, we loved our time at your property. The perfect location to relax and unwind with a glass of wine whilst star gazing. Hayley was awesome to deal with and went out of her way to ensure that everything was perfect. We'll definitely be back! Thanks again.
