Very nice cottage, clean and fairly quiet given the proximity of the road. Really liked the spacious deck looking over the countryside, relaxing wine and cheese spot!

Only here for one night but it was a fantastic location, close to town's city centre and was a nice walk to the local wineries. Just the basics that you need for a room but a great price for the location. The owners are lovely and always keen for a chat, would definitely stay here again. :)

Very good location for exploring Martinborough area. Lovely friendly experience with superb gourmet food - both breakfast and dinner. Very like being a welcome guest in somebody's home. The host, Rachel, very engaging and interesting - and a great source of information about the local food and wine scene. Lovely garden that also produced fresh organic ingredients for meals.

Martinborough is the jewel in the crown of the Deep South of the North Island of NZ. It is a beautiful quaint rural town which is ideal to visit if you want a peaceful retreat amongst vineyards, wineries, fabulous restaurants and a thriving cafe culture.
I highly recommend visits to Cape Palliser Lighthouse and Seal Colony followed by Lake Ferry then back to Nga Waka for wine tasting and superb pizza lunch.
Nara Cafe is the go-too for coffee full stop.
A stay at the Wine Shed polishes the experience perfectly.
We'll be back!

This area is a great location for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The local towns are delightful and well worth visiting and the spectacular coastline with amazing views of seal colonies, lighthouses and lakes make it a wonderful destination for a holiday.

Unfortunately the hotel did not meet expectations. The floor slooped badly in the bedroom and we both experienced a sense of dizzy spells. We both snubbed our toes on the uneven floor between the bedroom and bathroom. We considered the bath dangerious as it was slipperly and no hand rails. Staff were rather unfriendly. We paid what was to us a lot of money for our wedding anniversary night and didnt enjoy the hotel at all . Always wanted to stay there but would not again and would not recommend it.

The vineyards are the main attraction for going to Martinborough. There are numerous offerings and are within easy walking or biking distance of each other. Cellar door tastings are readily available at a wide variety of vineyards, from smaller family vineyards, to the more sophisticated offerings. Muirlea Rise is an example we tried of the former, and Ata Rangi for the latter. Both were really good in their very distinct offerings. Poppies Vineyard is a really good lunch option. Martinborough's weather is typically really good - that's partly why the vineyards are there.

You need to go to Poppies Winery, book a wine tasting!
You need to go to Poppies Winery, book a wine tasting! Not only is the wine delicious but the service is superb. You get to learn heaps about how wine is make, the decisions made by the wine maker and what makes of the wine from Poppies special.
HIGHLY recommend Tirohana Estate. We were well looked after when we went for a wine tasting by a lovely gentleman who made the experience very special. He had great charisma and was passionate about wine, we learnt lots!
We went to little square pizza for dinner and they looked after us very well, and provided the MOST divine range of pizzas. Everyone was happy, and they also cater for Vegans too!

Martinborough town center is built around the town square,...
Martinborough town center is built around the town square, with maybe 8 shops (mainly eateries) off some of the spokes coming off the square. It has a huge 4-Square shop so you do not need to worry about food shopping at all.
Stayed here for a night and the apartment unit I was in was expertly furnished. Amazing kitchen, living room, dining table area. There was parking right in front of the unit, good bathroom facilities as well. There is a sheet with tons of information on the motel itself, services in the surrounding area, and amenities which pretty much covered everything I needed. Only a 2 minute drive from Martinborough center where there are plenty of bars, restaurants, and stores.
We were given a complimentary room upgrade to the Vineyard Suite and it was LOVELY & spacious with a beautiful view of the vineyards and next to the Cellar Door.
The bathroom was luxurious with a large tub and separate shower.
Water was hot with excellent water pressure.
There was a FULL well stocked kitchen.
Continental breakfast & complimentary teas & hot chocolate were plentiful.
Nothing can beat being right in the centre of town. Sitting on the veranda outside our Heritage Suite and sipping drinks while overlooking the square in the evening was perfect.
The room was spacious, the bed was huge and comfortable and the bath was divine luxury.
If you eat at Union Square restaurant, check out the wagyu beef burger. It has to be one of the best burgers ever!

Loved everything about this place from the thoughtful chocolates, high end teas, cute quirky buildings, the veranda, the bbq, the spa bath, and it’s in town within walking distance to about 6 vineyards. Leah is super nice and friendly too. we’ve previously stayed at the martinborough hotel, whilst that’s nice enough this is much nicer.
Great staying in Martinborough at Swan House with great and lovely hosts.
It was a really nice apartment where you can find everything you want also the breakfast was great and we got some nice advices from our hosts regarding visiting some vineyards.
Even one day/night was to short I have to admit to stay in this great atmosphere.
Perfect place for a stay in Martinborough. Excellent heating for the cooler nights and the living areas catch the sun in the day, Five minutes walk to the town square and a short drive or easy walk (for us) to the many of the vineyards. Could not fault the cleanliness and all amenities are there for a short or longer stay.
Location was perfect for hiring bikes and going out for dinner and breakfast. Lots of amazing options of places to eat and the vineyards were lovely! Everyone (mostly!) were very friendly and welcoming - we had an amazing weekend away (sorry for being a bit too noisy in the evening too 😔)
Brilliant location - was located within easy walking distance of Martinborough shops, wineries, cafes, cinema etc. Very quiet at night. Very comfortable bed. Netflix was freely available. Cozy and warm during a stormy / wet long weekend.
Location was excellent, within walking distance of the main eateries and shops.
Quiet neighbourhood was very appealing.
Used Martinborough as a central point for 3 days of viewing the surrounding townships.
A very warm welcome. Rachel was the consummate hostess. Wish we had stayed longer than one night as the Martinborough Fair was being held. First Saturday of February and March annually.
Lovely little motel room with kitchen and living downstairs and bedroom upstairs. Fast easy contact less checkin. About a minute drive into Martinborough town square.
