Such a beautiful place to stay!
The Martinborough Hotel was a very special place to stay. We were in one of the garden suites, which was spacious and beautifully appointed with everything we needed. The bed was so comfortable too. We chose to eat at the Union Bar at the hotel. Delicious meals and thoughtful service!
I wish we could have stayed longer.

A weekend away in Martinborough
The perfect location for a weekend stay in Martinborough. Super friendly staff, clean and old world suit upstairs in the main hotel which really appealed. Great parking out back, food and wine was excellent and we will most certainly be back to enjoy another stay in the future.

A Characterful Hotel
Martinborough is a charming place to stay at the centre of an indipendant wine making community.
The hotel itself has period featured rooms and very comfortable beds. The shower looked in place with the rest of the decor and was pretty to look at but was very difficult to use. Climbing in to the bath meant setting the temperature and pressure of the shower difficult. The shower curtain was small and kept catching me as I showered. This was disappointing and let down my experience considering that the beer and wine was lovely and the food was excellent.

Not the friendliest welcome…
We stayed for one night in this lovely old building. As we had a long day’s travel from South Island I emailed 2 days in advance to let the hotel know when we would arrive and also to book a table for dinner. I included my mobile number in case there were any issues.
I got a reply to confirm a table had been booked for 20:15.
When we arrived (5 minutes later than I had estimated but not bad after a ferry trip and a 5 hour journey!) the receptionist was quite flustered saying she had no contact details as we’d booked through a travel agent and hadn’t been able to check if we were still coming. I showed her the email including my mobile number, which didn’t seem to make a difference… She then said we’d better get to dinner as soon as possible as the kitchen closed at 20:30 - this hasn’t been mentioned in the email confirming the table.
We were shown to a very small room that was absolutely stifling and then she headed off. After 5 weeks travelling in NZ, it was the least welcoming experience we’d had (or had after!).
The servers in the restaurant (a separate business) were lovely, especially Adam, and we weren’t rushed by the kitchen, which was only closing for mains and continued serving until 21:30. We enjoyed great food and wine and the breakfast was delicious too.
The room was hot (we kept the fan on all night) and noisy as we also had the door open and not very convenient - 3 hangers in a tiny cupboard with a set of shelves 5cm below them that meant we could only hang a couple of things, no hooks in the bathroom to move the robes to and a tiny towel rail for all the towels….and louvre doors that have no privacy at all!
I spoke to a far more professional lady in the morning who reassured my later check in are not an issues and don’t need to be pre-notified.

Good choice
Unlucky with the weather but still had a great visit. It’s a lovely cute colonial town. Plenty of eating choices and little shops. Our room was great with a wrap around verandah. Good choice at breakfast. We ate in the hotel one night. It was pricey even by NZ standards but very good. The other night in the Asian fusion place next door. It was busy so book.
Wine tour was fabulous.
