The hotel's elegant interiors created a welcoming and luxurious atmosphere. The room we stayed in was both comfortable and beautifully designed. The bathroom was stunning, featuring a traditional freestanding bath and a separate shower, all in a stylish black-and-white design. The hotel effortlessly blends old-world charm with modern comfort.
The hotel's location is ideal; it is right in the heart of the village, just across Union Square. This made it incredibly convenient to explore the area on foot. There are excellent coffee shops, charming stores, and a craft pub, all within walking distance. It is an easy drive from vineyards producing beautiful Pinot Noir wines.
Margrain Vineyard Martinborough offers stylish villas, luxury suites and gatehouse rooms, set in a vineyard with stunning views. The vineyard features an on-site café.

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!
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 !
Nothing can beat being right in the centre of town. Sitting on the veranda outside our Heritage Suite and sipping drinks while overlooking the square in the evening was perfect.
The room was spacious, the bed was huge and comfortable and the bath was divine luxury.
If you eat at Union Square restaurant, check out the wagyu beef burger. It has to be one of the best burgers ever!
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.
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!
Such fantastic rooms, lovely outlook. Very close to our favourite vineyard. We ate at the restaurant one night, which was a lovely meal. So easy to have a lovely breakfast provided on site. Pool looked fantastic, but unfortunately we couldn't use it due to covid restrictions.
We had booked the winemakers cottage for our stay and they upgraded us to a lakeside cottage for free upon checking in! Exceptional service, such lovely staff. They offer a free shuttle service which is handy. Nice and close to Martinborough town too. Perfect for couples.
This was the only accommodation in Martinborough available for the night we wanted to stay and for that I am very grateful. Good location in the main township. Walking distance to the Square
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 close to town and cafes/restaurants and also within easy walking/cycling distance of several wineries. Comfortable, good-sized accommodation for 1 or 2 people.
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.
