Welcome to The Folly

folly (n.) 1 foolishness; a foolish act.  2 an ornamental building serving no practical purpose...

The Folly is a one-bedroom modern cottage located at Tora on the South Wairarapa Coast in New Zealand, about 40 minutes south of Martinborough, and 2 hours from Wellington City.

The Folly has open-plan living, unobstructed sea views, and is ideal for a couple or small family who want to get away for the week or weekend. There is a wide deck across the front and sliding doors onto the deck from the living area and bedroom. The bedroom has a queen sized comfortable bed and the sofa in the living area acts as a fold-out double-bed. This photo is taken from the deck facing south, and is of a 4 meter swell crashing over the rocks at the point near the seal colony.
