Find Hotels in Martinborough, New Zealand

At the price point the size and quality of the accommodation (ours was Lakeside Cottage) is excellent! It can get hot in this part of NZ and they had the air con going for us when we arrived and it was very effective. Enjoyed the spa bath in the cottage. Neither of us found the pillows very good. The room also lacked an in room safe for valuables. Breakfast is a relatively simple affair with continental buffet and a main option ordered from an a la carte menu with about 5 or 6 options...I have to say I wasn't hugely impressed by the mains. Locationwise, it is possibly a little further out of town than some options, but still fits the Martinborough brief of being able to walk to wineries. It is 15 mins walk to the Martinborough Hotel / main square. They do rent bikes, but at what I considered a ludicrously expensive rate of $40 / 4 hours.

Things we enjoyed while in Martinborough: - visiting the local wineries and enjoying lunch at Poppies - watching the amazing seal colony at Cape Palliaer (about 45 min from Martinborough) - the beautiful coastal and rural scenery during the drive from Wellington and Cape Palliaer - the bird songs and fresh air early in the morning from our deck at The Claremont (definitely book the Pinot villa) - pizza, red wine and Monopoly by the fireplace at night - the friendly hospitality provided by the owners.

Marie is the most kindest person I have ever met. The place, Swan House is gorgeous and crystal clean. I felt as comfotable as I stay at my own home and I felt like Queen at the same time as she introduced and booked for dinner, recommend good places to visit, and gave us lots of information and help. Thank you, Marie and Ricky. My family trip wouldn't be better without you.

When we arrived at Martinborough Mews, Robyn had already emailed to let us know where the key would be and that she'd drop by to make sure all was well. We were delighted when we entered the spacious, attractively decorated apartment and were happy that there was a private deck with table and chairs and a barbecue grill and a jacuzzi as well. For hot weather, she provided a fan. It seemed like she thought of everything we might need. When she came by, she was eager to help us get reservations at restaurants and she gave good advice on bike rentals and where to stop for lunch on our vineyard tour. We would gladly return to the Mews and would be happy if every host were as helpful as Robyn!
