Friendly staff and complimentary wine tasting. Would be a great area for stargazing on a clear night (unfortunately was cloudy both nights we stayed). Good powerful shower.

The hosts were onsite when we arrived and were very welcoming and friendly. There were freshly baked biscuits in the room and plenty of supplies for breakfast. The room was spacious and we loved the artworks.

The cottage was lovely.
Was having a good range of utensils and kitchen equipment to be able to cook and enjoy.
Loved the fireplace! Definitely a bonus.
The beds were really comfy too.

What a beautiful place and so close to town. It is very lovely with all the things you need and super comfortable and warm. The rooms are warm and such a fantastic space for friends and kids!

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.
We found ourselves in a modern, artistic and well organized home that was near to other houses and yet quite private. It had every facility you could wish. The handy location - only 15 minutes walk into the Martinborough town square - was a bonus as it was possible to go out to dinner without having to worry about drinking and driving. We also loved the nearby private pool and tennis court, both of which were very well maintained.
The room was lovely and spacious, and had everything we needed. There was lots of great extra touches, including homemade cookies :). The garden was beautiful. Lots of space to sit out.
Our hosts Venessa and Graeme were awesome. Extremely friendly and helpful. I had injured myself and they went above and beyond to help me. Thanks so much!
Would absolutely reccomend staying at Swan House for a Martinborough getaway!
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 !
A really lovely property. Very high-end facilities . We could happily live in the cottage we were allocated!
The staff were friendly and helpful. Food at the on site bistro was great too . Martinborough itself is a pretty, well maintained town with all the necessary bars, bistro's , bakeries and boutiques to satisfy its customers. We wished we had stayed longer .
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 😔)
The accommodation was quite comfortable and spanking clean. Also, it was really quiet and calm. Our host Sharon was awesome, she patiently answered all our questions and made us feel at home. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Thanks Sharon for everything!
A beautiful cottage with everything we needed. Didn't do any cooking as Martinborough has so many dining options available. We laughed at the DVD's on offer but played cards instead of watching a movie.
Great folder with info about cottage
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.
The Walnut Tree House was the cutest place to stay! Had the most lovely decor and was so central to town. Would recommend this to absolutely anyone asking for Martinborough accommodation.
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
Great location among the vineyards. Easy walking distance to Martinborough for groceries/eateries. Good sized rooms and well equipped kitchen. Good facilities.
Very comfortable bed in a spacious suite, nice private deck, in walking distance of Martinborough town centre and close to all the wineries. Great location.
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.
