Fabulous house in Martinborough
We stayed here for a family wedding. There were eight of us in the house. The house was really well kitted out, especially in the kitchen, with plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses etc and cooking equipment. This is always great appreciated. It wax beautifully warm, bedding and rooms were lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.

This is a great house and catered well for our group of 7. Slightly let down by mis-communication between owner and their cleaners such that house had not been serviced when we arrived, but owners rapidly got this sorted out.

From the moment we arrived we loved this place. With 8 of us there we wondered about how cramped it would be. We needn’t have worried, it was spacious and convenient. We were just impressed by the whole place, and very thankful for a wonderful Christmas there. Definitely recommend

Truly a home away from home!
We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this was one of the best! The hosts were responsive and thoughtful with extra touches to make us feel welcome. The home is immaculate (and we loved the eco-consciousness). The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 5 - each child got their own bedroom and the beds and bedding were super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals and the back deck provided privacy for al fresco dining and a post-dinner jacuzzi! The location is wonderful, in a quiet neighborhood but walkable to downtown cafes, restaurants, and parks. Highly recommend for the Martinborough traveler!

The house has everything you need. Rooms were spacious, the beds were extremely comfortably wirh quality pillows and linen. We liked all the eco friendly products and equipment that were in the house. Our only concern was that all the fences, window and door frames were covered in a considerable amount of cobwebs. This was a partcular concern for one of our party who is very frightened of spiders.

40th Birthday Celebration
Had such a wonderful stay over the weekend with my girlfriends on the Saturday night. We visited wineries came home and relaxed, made pizza played games made use of the spa and just had such a relaxing stay. Sunday night my 2 boys 6 and 9 stayed with me. We made the most of the comfy couch and tv, the games provided were great too. The house is fantastic! The clipboard might need updating and maybe some instructions on how to heat the home, as we got a bit cold. But other than that awesome home, in quiet area everything we needed for both a girls night and family night. Thank you 😊

The Green House for our family birthday celebration
We had 6 people for 4 nights, 3 days, at The Green House. 3 elderly couples, a bedroom for each couple and the lovely large living area for us all, plenty large enough for cooking, eating, watching TV and playing board games. It was autumn and the weather not conducive for outside living but that would have been nice in the warmer weather. The house is delightful with all conveniences. Lovely bedrooms with very comfortable beds (tho the duvets we found a bit hot). The spa pool is a bonus after a busy day 🥰. A very nice touch was the pink bubbly from Wairarapa, and the chocolates, courtesy of the house ❤️. Thank you, we did appreciate those. A couple of comments: We found the tap in the main bathroom too close to the basin to get our hands under let alone a glass (for rinsing teeth). The glasses in the kitchen cupboard were so high up we could hardly reach them. The living room comfortably seats 6-8 people but the coffee table doesn’t accommodate them - a larger table, or two of them, would be more practical. The notes need updating as we struggled to find the fireplace in the living area (haha…(as it is not there!), and a few other things. Other than these few niggles we loved the house and had a really wonderful 4 days. Thank you to Maura and Stephen for your lovely house and thoughtful touches, we had a wonderful time.

Really lovely house with wonderful kitchen, we were so impressed with the amount of glasses/plates/cooking accessories. It was a great size for our group (four adults and three children) and everyone loved the spa and nearby trampoline. Nice and cozy, thanks to great insulation and underfloor heating - loved the emphasis on sustainable design.

Awesome home. Every fine detail has been thought of right down to a variety of wine glasses (and a complimentary bottle of wine). Love the bathrooms and in particular the luxurious deep bath. Location is great. The owners were only a phone call away and were quick to answer any queries. Will definitely stay again when in Martinborough.
