About Us

Welcome to the Home Cottage Gardens, Accommodation, and Wellness website, our home nestled in the heart of the beautiful Wairarapa!

Our lifestyle property is home to a bustling community of sheep, chickens, and our loyal dog Ninja, alongside abundant veggies and fruit trees.

At the heart of our family beats the rhythm of homesteading. Denise is our guiding light. She's a master preserver, a skilled seamstress, and an expert in drying food. She runs workshops, and she's the driving force behind our venture into selling spray-free veggies and our sustainable alternative to plastic wrap, aptly named the Rapa. Denise is a wellspring of knowledge and the go-to resource for anyone looking to embark on their own preserving or homesteading journey. Rick is a master at building and creating systems through the property. He is the backbone of our family. Our daughter is our focus, educating her to understand the joy of growing your own food, making your remedies, and being generally creative in her life. Our older children have now left home.

We live and breathe in our garden, deeply connected to the land we call home. Our passion for homesteading extends beyond our borders; we delight in helping others discover the joys of self-sufficiency.

Nature is our pharmacy, and we believe in the healing power of plants. Whole foods are our fuel, and we savor every bite.

Join us as we share our knowledge, experiences, and love for the homesteading lifestyle. Together, let's nurture a greener, healthier world.
