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!
The motel is located in the heart of Martinborough township. It looked a bit tired from the outside and we were nervous about whether it would be good to stay at. But it had 'hidden depths' and was surprisingly comfortable, clean and spacious. I'd really recommend it (as long as you're not seeking 5 star accommodation and aren't bothered by '80s decor). The bed was big and comfortable and the unit was very quiet and roomy.
We loved the location on a Lifestyle Block. It was so quiet and restful. Our hosts were great in making sure we had everything we needed and then leaving us alone to enjoy the unit and the company of the dogs if we wanted to. it was just a couple of minutes drive to town and about 5 minutes to the wedding venue we were in Martinborough for. Enjoyed our stay so much we asked and stayed for an extra night !
Lovely house in a good location. Lots of space and facilities. Really nice of the hosts to provide all the extras (breakfast items, chocs, chilled water, wine etc). Loved sitting in the garden in the late afternoon. Some cellar doors within walking distance (recommend Margrain), and Martinborough brewery - which is only a couple of streets away. Comfy bed and good shower. We plan to return!
We loved the quiet location, but also the fact it was only a 10 minute walk into the main town square. having access to bikes made travelling around the vineyards very easy. The breakfast provisions were excellent and the hosts were extremely hospitable and helpful with advice and taking us to the bus stop at the end of our trip.
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.
A nice space with a large comfy double bed. Lovely smelling lotion in the bathroom. Very close to Martinborough central but quiet enough to hear the cows a few paddocks over. The included continental breakfast had good quality items and a particularly nice hot chocolate. Also the proprietor was lovely.
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 😔)
We had booked the winemakers cottage for our stay and they upgraded us to a lakeside cottage for free upon checking in! Exceptional service, such lovely staff. They offer a free shuttle service which is handy. Nice and close to Martinborough town too. Perfect for couples.
The breakfast was very good and so was the layout of the cottage. We were in Martinborough for a wedding but would happily come back to stay. Reception seems to close very early at 6:30 but this wasn't a problem.
This hotel is a beautiful colonial-style building with bags of character. It was like going back in time. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The setting was very convenient for restaurants, bars.and shops..
This was the only accommodation in Martinborough available for the night we wanted to stay and for that I am very grateful. Good location in the main township. Walking distance to the Square
Great location close to town and cafes/restaurants and also within easy walking/cycling distance of several wineries. Comfortable, good-sized accommodation for 1 or 2 people.
