Celebration in Martinborough

What a fabulous place to stay to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. Plenty of room for the 10 of us. Lovely setting amongst the vines. Relaxing and peaceful but still close to town and wineries.

Fabulous long weeked

This is a very special place to stay. Lovely tranquil outlook over the vines. Lots of space and comfort but nooks and crannies for a big crowd to spread out. We had the loveliest weekend here. Outside & swimming when the sun shone, then a lovely open fire in the cooler evening. Dan was really responsive, proactively dropping something off in the letterbox to fix a minor problem! Highly recommended.

Family reunion

Our stay was wonderful. The Property is right on the edge of a vineyard that supplies one of the local wineries. Everyone was blown away by the beauty of the venue. The kids had a great time in the games room and pool. The kitchen is perfect for group cooking and the dining room looks out over the vineyards. Could not find a fault. A huge thankyou to Dan and Mary, our hosts, whom were increadibly helpful and kind.

Perfect, luxurious, Martinborough bliss.

Wow. What an incredibly luxe place to stay for a long wedding weekend with our close friends and family. The bedrooms are gorgeous: the beds and linen so dreamy that I could have quite happily spent a whole afternoon lounging! Waking up and having a coffee in bed looking at the vines is fabulous. Great water pressure in the showers, a lovely pool and fab jacuzzi for gazing at the late night sky. The house has a very soothing French country chic vibe, and it literally has anything you could need. Plus, the games room was a hit with both our 10yr old and my 87yr old Nanna! Karan was so lovely and no question was too small which I loved and made us feel very welcome. We will be back!

Serenity

This property was fantastic !! We were an extended family group of 12 from the moment we drove up the tree lined driveway we felt relaxed. The house was so well set out and up we had everything we needed the beds were so comfortable everybody had so much fun in the pool and the games room. My favourite part was waking up to the stunning view getting myself a coffee and sitting on the deck as the sun came up over the vineyard while all sorts of birds strutted around and the rabbits hopped amongst the vines. I could not have had a better break and would love to come back Thank you so much
