This is a lovely property in a great location. Good proximity to all the Martinborough wineries, with a great relaxing atmosphere when the day is done!
A quiet little place. Very comfortable for us and close to where our family was staying. A quick drive to the centre.

We loved the quiet road with beautiful trees around the property - at night the night-sky views were excellent. The property had everything we needed and was only 5 minutes from the main street/cafes etc,
A marvellous place to stay to enjoy all southern Wairarapa has to offer.
Explored Martinborough, out to Lake Ferry, Ngawi, Cape Palliser Lighthouse.
Wonderful place to base yourself for a great time.
Amazing little place that has everything you could need for a visit to Martinborough; short walk to town, and games and everything you would want for a cosy night in.
Lovely hosts. Would happily recommend.. and come back :)
Awesome little spot - peaceful and relaxing! Cottage is great, very clean and tidy. About a 15 min walk to the main square. Hosts were great and super helpful and went out of their way to make our stay even better.

Lovely private area to enjoy . 5 mins by bike or 10 mins walk in to town . Perfect for a weekend away. Enjoy chairs in the garden throughout the day
This wee cottage was excellent. Lovely big bathroom with a great shower. Comfortable beds. Near the town so we could have a great time at the Fair and going out for dinner.Very welcoming hosts.
My sister and I had such a nice weekend away in this lovely cottage. The heaters were on for us when we arrived and the hosts left lots of food and nice touches around the place. We even got a ride to town which saved us a long walk! Thank you for a great stay and we hope we can return sometime.
Our host was lovely, friendly and helpful. This accommodation suited our needs. Not too far from town. This property also works well for a low vision, vision, impaired person. I found the rooms easy to navigate through.
We enjoyed our stay here. the hosts were lovely, very helpful and respectful of our privacy. this is a great spot if you love the dark sky as there aren't any street lights to mar the wonderful sky. the decor was lovely, the beds very comfortable. Despite being so close to the owners home you were not aware of them at all thanks to the garage between. would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break but very handy to all of the amenities Martinborough has to offer..
