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!

Warm welcome even though we arrived before check-in time, and were given access to our room. Studio apartment was tidy and spacious.

The room was very well appointed and with all that we required for a 3 Day stay. The breakfast was ok, however not extensive. The bed was very comfy as were the pillows. The shower was amazing and just what was needed after a big day of travelling. The location was perfect, away from town but close enough to visit the well stocked super market and shops for all your supplies. My advice is to stock up up on wine and snacks prior to arrival so you can kick back once you arrive and put you feet up and enjoy the the amazing afternoon and night sky. The aircon is fabulous and kept us very comfy during our stay. Plenty of power points available, a real bonus as were the room lights, no more having bring along your 100Watt bulb, the lighting in the room was great!! If you want a massage, its best to book early as its very popular. The Manager was very friendly and accommodating t0 our needs during our stay, always with a smile.

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.
I would much rather stay here than a hotel room. This felt like a home away from home but with some extra touches, and tranquil location. We decided to skip a meal out, instead had a lovely BBQ meal outside, enjoyed some local wine and used the fire at night. All the little touches such as sourdough bread, eggs, juice provided gave it that touch of luxury and totally justified the price for us. Thank you for a beautiful stay away, we will be back!
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.
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.
We decided to splurge and pay more than we normally do for a luxury stay at the Pinot Villas. We absolutely loved our room -- comfortable and luxurious, well-equipped kitchen and facilities. The location was perfect in the center of Martinborough. Although there is no one onsite, the check in procedure was simple.
Perfect location, just 2 mins walk to the town square, which was awesome during the Martinborough fair. The room is very private and clean. It's fitted with a heatpump/AC which was a lifesaver in 30 degrees heat. Also there are 2 sweet cats who greeted us each morning.
The Martinborough Hotel had the most amazing breakfast menu. The Salmon rosti was great. The local pub Pukemanu was great awesome friendly service. The vineyards were lovely but would be awesome if you had your own 4/6 seater bikes for hire.
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 hotel provided a great week time break. Very comfortable room with all the amenities we expected. The on-site restaurant was excellent with a great menu and very good beverage service.
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
Centrally located in the heart of Wairarapa”s wine country, the beautiful Martinborough Hotel is an elegant and romantic place to stay for a special occasion!
