Moonlight Peak

Moonlight Peak is located in the Wairarapa - approximately 10 minutes from the township of Carterton and an hour and 30 minutes from Wellington city. It is owned and operated by Summer & Tim Priest.

Architecturally designed, Moonlight Peak oozes luxury. Beautiful fibres and linens adorn the bed, and the bathroom, kitchen and lounge offer lush comfort in up-to-the-minute style. A special feature is the double skylights in the bedroom - for ultimate stargazing.

A cedar hot tub, with arguably the best view in New Zealand, is positioned in a sheltered spot in front of the hut.

Completely off-the-grid, with a state-of-the-art solar system, a stay at Moonlight Peak is an escape to glorious isolation and wilderness - while still enjoying all the comforts of modern life.

Summer and Tim have owned the property near Carterton since February 2016. Tim is an Agri-Banker for Rabobank and a farmer. Summer manages Moonlight Peak accommodation, while also being a stay-at-home mum and a farmer.

For them, they love that the property is nestled just on the edge of the Tararua Ranges and overlooks the beautiful Wairarapa - from Mount Bruce all the way to the Cook Strait. It's the type of place where you feel like you're on top of the world, described as "somewhere between heaven and earth"!
