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!
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.
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.
Nice and out of the way, which made for a good walk into the Martinborough township. Staff were friendly. My room was fantastic, forgot that it had a loft, so nice surprise when I checked in.
Great price. Would recommend. Thankfully they did inform me that Ubers will not come out that way if wanting to get into Wellington CBD. With that heads up, I was able to sort the bus, then train timetable
Parking was convenient which is always a good start. Check-in was convenient and pleasant, with the lovely Receptionist offering to book us a table for dinner in the restaurant.
It was so nice to be able to eat in the hotel and not to have to drive. The restaurant is fantastic, amazing food and warm, friendly and very efficient service
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 😔)
Such fantastic rooms, lovely outlook. Very close to our favourite vineyard. We ate at the restaurant one night, which was a lovely meal. So easy to have a lovely breakfast provided on site. Pool looked fantastic, but unfortunately we couldn't use it due to covid restrictions.
Gorgeous hotel right on the central town square. They have a great restaurant downstairs and you're a block or two away from other great drinking and dining options. The space is thoughtfully renovated while preserving the inn's historic charm.
Just everything! the setting amongst the vineyards of Martinborough is delightful. The accommodation was generously appointed, spacious and extremely comfortable. The staff were also very welcoming and helpful. We highly recommend!
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.
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
Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Comfortable accommodation with plenty of room. Really good value . Pleased that I was able to bring my dog as well. Such a bonus
The house and the location are both fabulous. It’s a very easy walk to Martinborough shops and cafes. The beds are very comfortable and it’s a lovely house and area to relax in.
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.
Well appointed accommodation in a great location. Staff were warm and welcoming. We appreciated the extras left in the fridge for breakfast. Everything was very clean.
Colin and Gayle are lovely hosts and always make our stay enjoyable! The hotel is nicely located just a block away from the center of activity in town.
