About this property

Spacious Country Home - a place for family, friends or colleagues to gather...

Tucked away down a drive and set amongst a hectare of park-like grounds is Everland Retreat... the perfect place to share with family and friends for a relaxing break away, long overdue catch-up or even an informal work gathering in the country.

This spacious house can accommodate up to 12 people with its 4 bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs, a TV lounge that doubles as another sleeping area downstairs with adjacent bathroom suitable for wheelchair access.

The large kitchen with ample bench space, large oven and 6 burner gas cook-top means family and friends can cook together and the stunning dining room comfortably seats 16 people so perfect for a celebratory meal, or space to hold a small conference or team meeting. The TV lounge and sitting room off the kitchen gives everyone room to spread out and relax.

Off the kitchen is an expansive private deck offering plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors…a casual undercover seating area, tables and chairs for alfresco dining, a spa to relax and unwind, and beautiful grounds to wander and explore. Just perfect for outdoor summer living.

In winter months the house is toasty warm with radiators throughout the house powered by the old Stanley cooker/log burner and gas fire in the dining room.

Just a short stroll to Martinborough Village you are spoilt for choice with the amazing cafes, restaurants, bars, boutique shops, movie theatre and local brewery. Just a little further from the village, you are surrounded by incredible vineyards with tastings or platters or lunch menus available. Drop offs and pick ups available by arrangement.

Gorgeous

We had a spectacular time at this lovely house— it's spacious, comfortable, and well-cared for. Photos don't do the outdoor space justice; in addition to the enormous deck, the expansive back yard is perfect for cricket! Robyn is a very engaged and thoughtful host, super responsive and attuned to all the little details.

Relaxing stay in Martin

Our whanau returned to this property over the weekend. Once again it provided all the space our multigenerational family requires. An excellent location and an easy walk to the town square and cafes. We even enjoyed some early spring sunshine on the enormous deck. We’ll be back again!

Short stay in Martinborough

I would highly recommend this property and host. We wish we had more time than 2 days there. House had everything we could have wanted and there was plenty of room for the 4 couples. Great for multiple families and not too far to walk into the square.

Amazing, wonderful stay

We stayed in winter as a group of friends. The house had everything we could possibly need and was so well thought out. Heaps of space, never felt crowded even though there were 12 of us. Lovely and warm throughout even in frost. The spa was wonderful, the massive dining table was wonderful. The location was perfect, easy walking distance into town. The hosts were so lovely, the most attentive welcome. We would love to return again and recommend very highly.

Family weekend away

Great place for a combined (all ages) 4 families getaway. Easy walking distance to the square. Ample parking. Spacious kitchen with everything you need. Radiator heating was great. Kids loved the spa. Communication with owner was prompt & easy. Only marked cleanliness down as one bathroom a bit worn, but not a game breaker. Would happily rent again.
