Queen Elizabeth park is great, there is a train and boat rides and the park itself is huge, on the day we visited there everything was free to go on and there was a mini market so you could buy some food. Then you can go across the road to the pools - indoor and outdoor and that was free also. We liked the compactness of Masterton and its got heaps of shops and heaps of options Makkies, KFC, Subways, PaknSave, Countdown etc. We got Roast meals one night, very yum and way too much. We will be back soon.

For our purposes, QE2 Park and the Swimming complex was excellent. There are plenty of shops to look into and find good deals.
Masterton is well placed to get to activities of all kinds and in different locations.

We based ourselves in Masterton so we could explore the Wairaparapa Region. We went to the Pukaha (Mt Bruce) wildlife reserve, did the Star Safari, visited Aotearoa Stonehenge, went to the Cape Palliser Light House and Seal Colony, visited Ngawi and had a delicious lunch at Lake Ferry Hotel. We also had delicious custard filled cronuts at the Land Girls Cafe in Pirinoa, amazing Fish and Chips at The Lake Ferry Hotel and ate three times at the 10 O'clock Cookie Bakery Cafe in Masterton.

Masterton Park has been excellently developed.
Masterton Park has been excellently developed.
Thr ribbon development is still bad on the southern side.
Masterton is the home of notable schools and we enjoyed the grounds and facilities at Wairarapa College where our large Christian festival was held.

Masterton is beautiful, Mawley Park brilliant accom. Needed to contact Booking.com was unable to make contact. It was frustrating. But the Mawley Park manager more than made up for the booking.com discrepancy. The trip could have easily turned to custard if Les (the manager) didn't help 🤔

We loved Queen Elizabeth Park.
We loved Queen Elizabeth Park. It has great play areas for children and lots of interesting places to stroll. We found an aviary and a swing bridge and there is a lake where you can hire paddle boats (in weekends?) and a little train for rides (weekends?)
We had lunch at Entice Cafe across the road and afternoon tea at Ten O'clock Cookie Bakery. Both were excellent.
It was affordable during Wings over Wairarapa - no huge price hikes like other places - we were so lucky to have been able to go to the show... the staff member also gave us a tip as to where we can get discounts - as we had a gaggle of children with us. I usually stay here when I go to Masterton - there is a playground for the kids and it's close to town and the pools.
There is the odd bunny around the place which works well when it's coming up to Easter for the littlies.
We stayed for one night booking just a few days before hand. We were travelling from Martinborough and Camcott, Farm a few kilometres north of Masterton, was close to the Pukaha National Wildlife Centre at Mount Bruce which we wanted to visit. Cathy and Mike, our hosts, were most hospitable and the accomodation was very well appointed, very comfortable and spotlessly clean. They provided a great breakfast. There was good WIFI signal. Excellent car parking on the premises.
Grand, spacious rooms named after famous NZ racehorses. Very comfortable beds and modern, well-appointed bathrooms. Room was wonderfully quiet and felt very secure. Common areas are currently under renovation and look like they will have an amazing almost country lodge feel. We travel to Masterton regularly to visit family and Gateway probably has the best rooms available in town. Most of the owners(?)/managers/staff were amazingly friendly and helpful.
We had a very comfortable stay and we had everything we needed. The house is lovely and modern and we easily could've stayed there for weeks! The bathroom was a highlight with the wonderful bathtub and we loved being able to relax in the lounge at night and watch the big tv. I would definitely recommend this stay to family and friends and would love to stay again next time we're in Masterton.
The hosts were wonderful, very friendly and offered more than we expected. The location is amazing, great property, close to Masterton and very well presented & maintained. All the chattels and accommodations are top class and very nicely styled. The kitchen, bathroom, living and beds were all superb. Very happy with our stay overall, highly recommended.
Ideal for a one night stay. Pleasant country surroundings in an Olive Grove/ farm block a few minutes from Masterton. There are 2 wineries, one with an excellent bistro just north of the accommodation. The hosts were very welcoming and friendly. They added lovely touches such as a vase of fresh daffodils, baking and sweets. The breakfast was also great.
Handly location to explore Masterton town. Very interesting town. We were en-route from Wellington to Napier but this was an enjoyable stopover! And the staff were wonderful in posting my shoes back home after I discovered I'd left them there. Also a great launching point from which to visit Castlepoint.
Brian & Nicky were awesome lovely hosts. Very accommodating and hands-on. The place/room has a relaxed feel and is situated beside the vineyard, The kids had a great time. And just before we left, my wife said to me, "Next time we're back in Masterton, let's stay here again!"
The room, the meals were all fine, even the matter of not being able to use the dining room for the first two nights. We enjoyed our stay which included a look around the Wairarapa area which we had not visited before. We found the wholw experience delightful.
A property rich with local history, shared by its knowledgeable hosts. Kinnie and Leon prepared and served a very pleasant breakfast and offered great suggestions for activities and places of interest to visit in lovely Masterton.
Fantastic location only 10 mins from Masterton yet felt like we were right out in a remote area.
Great views, great for sitting on the deck in the bean bags with a glass of wine!
