Tranquil retreat in Martinborough, a 1 bedroom cottage set next to olive grove.

Our 1-bedroom cottage invites you to experience a perfect blend of modern comfort and country tranquility within the picturesque landscapes of the Wairarapa.

Located next to our residence, we are readily available to give you our local knowledge of the best places to visit and dine, and the cottage offers a comfortable retreat after a day of exploring what Martinborough has to offer.

There is a small kitchenette equipped with two electric hobs and a microwave. The fridge includes complementary bread, butter, spreads and milk. Coffee, teas and sugar are also available. A selection of board games is also on hand and a Smart TV has TVNZ+, ThreeNow and Netflix.

Take advantage of the pleasant weather by having a glass of the local wines on the large lawn shaded by tall trees – an ideal spot for relaxation or a leisurely afternoon picnic. As the sun sets, enjoy the tranquility and perhaps indulge in stargazing under the clear, dark skies of Martinborough.

The owner's olive grove is available to wander through. And say hello to the chickens who live there too.

Such lovely hosts!
My sister and I had such a nice weekend away in this lovely cottage. The heaters were on for us when we arrived and the hosts left lots of food and nice touches around the place. We even got a ride to town which saved us a long walk! Thank you for a great stay and we hope we can return sometime.

Tranquil Spot near wineries
We enjoyed our stay here. the hosts were lovely, very helpful and respectful of our privacy. this is a great spot if you love the dark sky as there aren't any street lights to mar the wonderful sky. the decor was lovely, the beds very comfortable. Despite being so close to the owners home you were not aware of them at all thanks to the garage between. would recommend to anyone wanting a quiet break but very handy to all of the amenities Martinborough has to offer..
