An absolutely wonderful option while visiting Martinborough and the surrounding vineyards. Helen and Gordie have done an admirable job creating the Gatehouse on their vineyard “26 Rows”. Tastefully decorated, designed with all the comforts of home. A must stay in the area.

The perfect location for wine tasting on our honeymoon.

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at 26 Rows. Helen and family were very welcoming and the accomodation was perfect. Helen has thought of anything you may need for your stay. Being able to enjoy the wine produced by the vineyard whilst taking a walk along the rows accompanied by Morris (the dog) was a great highlight of our stay.Would certainly recommend!

Prefect for a holiday in Martinborough

The gatehouse was perfect for a stay in Martinborough. It was incredibly clean and well-maintained, the hosts had even stocked it with breakfast supplies. The place was cozy and comfortable, and it was close enough to the Martinborough square to walk. We only stayed for two nights but could easily have done more.

Gorgeous Cottage

We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay in the Gatehouse at 26Rows. From the well equipped and imaginatively styled house to the little extras that Helen provided, they all helped for a great holiday stay. The location is quiet, yet within easy reach of the many attractions in the area. We can’t wait to return.

We loved this property.

We loved this property. It has been created to a very high standard with lots of thoughtful touches for guests and lots of little surprises. It was a peaceful and unique setting but also really handy for us to duck into town and get out doing all that Wairarapa has to offer, especially wine tasting! Definitely coming back and recommending to friends.
