History at Renall is a large, early 1900 villa fully restored to its former glory with modern kitchens and bathroom facilities set in a large section with a beautiful garden. Our house -situated in one of Masterton's most prestiges streets - is less than 1 km from both the town centre and the Renall Street railway station. History at Renall has 6 bedrooms of which 2 spacious bedrooms and 1 self-contained studio have been made available to our guests. History at Renall was built by one of the founders and majors of Masterton. It was the first house in Masterton that was connected to the electricity network and served during the 1930/40's as a private maternity hospital. The house stands in the middle of a large landscaped garden with several shade providing seatings under matured trees. Guests have access to all parts of the garden. Breakfast is available at an additional fee and will be served in the dining room between 07:00am and 09:00am. On requests. the laundry area will be made available for any laundry washing. The self-contained studio has its own living space, kitchen and bathroom.
Interaction with guests: We are both professional people and love the interaction with guests visiting our beautiful town. We both come from different parts of the world (the Netherlands and the Philippines) and have lived and worked in many overseas countries. We usually sit down on the terras around 05:00pm for a glass of wine and a chat. You are more than welcome to join us but there is no obligation - we will always respect your privacy
Masterton has a lot to offer for families such as pedal boats, a mini train, excellent kids' playground, mini golf, bike hire, a deer park and plenty of walking tracks and bike trails. Pukaha National Wildlife Centre, swimming pool, and wine trails.
