School Holiday Family Package

Relaxed stays designed for families and grandparents

School holidays are an ideal time to slow down and enjoy meaningful time together. Our School Holiday Family Package has been thoughtfully created for grandparents hosting grandchildren, and for families seeking a comfortable, well-equipped base during the holidays.

Located in the Wairarapa, just 75 minutes from Wellington, Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa offers spacious accommodation, onsite facilities and a peaceful rural setting — making it easy to relax and feel at home.

The package includes

• Three nights’ accommodation in a self-contained 2- or 4-bedroom cottage
• Welcome BBQ hamper with family-friendly treats (BBQ facilities available in the back shed)
• Family movie pass to Circus Cinema
• Indoor and outdoor games, including Giant Jenga, corn hole and a selection of board games
• Complimentary access to the 20-metre heated indoor pool and gym
• Fresh breakfast provisions delivered daily

Everything is provided to make your stay easy, comfortable and enjoyable for all ages.

Ideal for grandparents and multi-generational stays

This package is particularly well suited to grandparents spending school holidays with their grandchildren. Spacious cottages provide room to spread out, while onsite activities and shared experiences — swimming, games and movie outings — help create lasting memories.

Parents can enjoy peace of mind knowing their children are well cared for and enjoying a genuine holiday experience.

Suitable for working holidays

Brackenridge is also an excellent option for parents who need to work remotely during the school holidays. Self-contained accommodation, quiet surroundings and reliable facilities allow adults to work comfortably while children enjoy time in the pool, games and open spaces.

It’s a practical and balanced option for families combining work and holiday time.

Dog-friendly options

Selected 2-bedroom cottages are dog-friendly, allowing you to bring your dog along for the stay.
Please advise at the time of booking if a dog-friendly cottage is required.
