Blackbird House is a delightful ‘home away from home’ in the heart of Martinborough, perfect for everyone - couples, family and friends. A three bedroom house on a private sunny sheltered corner section only one block to all that the Martinborough village has to offer - cafes, restaurants, bars and boutique shopping. We are also only a 10 - 20 minute walk to a number of vineyards (and there is four bikes if you wish to go further afield). It’s the perfect location for just parking and leaving the car in the driveway while you enjoy the village and surrounds.
We have an open plan living area. Our sectional sofa is perfect to spread out on with a cup of coffee or a glass of wine. The large dining room table is great for gathering round for meals or playing games. The living area opens out to the sunny sheltered section.
The bathroom facilities are; a large rain head shower in a separate room, a bathroom that has a spa bath, basin and toilet and a seperate toilet with a basin. Two of the bedrooms have also have basins - providing plenty of places for everyone to get ready for the day or evening out. Hot water is provided by an infinity water system ensuring that you will always have a continuous supply.
The section is fenced and, subject to a small charge ($30 per pet per stay), we are happy to have your dog to stay (please enquire). We ask that they stay off the furniture and beds and that it is not left inside the house unattended unless crated.
For summer entertaining we have a pergola where the larger of the outdoor dining tables sits under - enjoy your meals outdoors and at night under the solar powered festoon lights. There is also a smaller table tucked in a sunny corner. A hammock swings from the pergola to the tree - a perfect spot to read or have an afternoon siesta after some wine tasting. A BBQ is also provided. For winter there is a wood burner with a supply of dry firewood with a heat transfer system ensuring the house is toasty warm. The kitchen has a dishwasher, large oven and fridge providing everything is there for you should you decide to stay in for your meals. We love our coffee and the village has some great cafes but for your coffee enjoyment at the house we have a Moccamaster glass carafe coffee machine for your use. Plunger, instant coffee and tea are also provided together with some other kitchen basics. Free Wifi is also provided.
For adventures further afield to the incredible vineyards, we have four bicycles (and helmets) plus two scooters. With the flat streets and roads it really is a wonderful way to take in the beauty of Martinborough.

We all just had such a wonderful time. Top notch accommodation. Rebecca the host was so accommodating. Left little treats and plenty of coffee and towels . Even fresh flowers in the rooms. The grounds are so relaxing with plenty of places to sit. Can’t rate it high enough. Thank you for making our weekend

Great stay in a delightful property. It was clean, well-appointed, and toasty warm. We really enjoyed the little touches like the jar of fresh herbs in the kitchen.
This is a five star accommodation! The host's attention to detail is wonderful, we were very comfortable, and enjoyed walking around, enjoying the shops and eateries. I highly recommend Blackbird House!

We recently stayed at Blackbird House with our children aged 5 and 8, along with friends. It's a lovely home with so many thoughtful touches like fresh flowers and herbs inside, and incredibly clean. We also brought our cavoodle and the hosts had left a treat dog biscuit for him, that was so appreciated. Amazing location too, so close to the main square. Thank you for a great stay!
Blackbird House was amazing. You don't have to take a thing its all there. Lovely and warm with a great fire on the cold days. Bikes to cycle to the vineyards and located almost in the main square. Pet friendly. A great place to stay

Loved our stay at Blackbird House. Highly recommend.
The house was exceptionally clean, everything was well laid out, bathroom, second seperate toilet and seperate shower worked really well. There were too many extra lovely touches to mention and everything to make for an exceptional stay was thought of. The location couldn’t be better, about 3 mins walk to town square. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you so much.

We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay at Blackbird House. The location , which is very close to the square , is ideal. The house itself is really comfortable with great beds/linens and all of the amenities one could need. We were sad to leave!! Thanks Nigel and Rebecca ! John, Kerri, and David.
