Very modern and comfortable

Great new modern house with EVERYTHING you need (or could think of). Owners were also very prompt and proactively asked how they could best set up the rooms as we had 2 young kids. Only gripe was the cleaners were still there after our check in time and as a result left before they had fully completed. All in all, a great stay!

The house has everything you need. Rooms were spacious, the beds were extremely comfortably wirh quality pillows and linen. We liked all the eco friendly products and equipment that were in the house. Our only concern was that all the fences, window and door frames were covered in a considerable amount of cobwebs. This was a partcular concern for one of our party who is very frightened of spiders.

Perfect long weekend with friends

The house was gorgeous and well equipped, would stay here again. Stayed with a group of friends to celebrate a big birthday, there were 8 of us in total. The lead booker had the master suite and the other 3 couples shared the main bathroom. Pros: loved the high ceilings in the lounge kitchen and the fabulous kitchen.Cons: Spa pool only really big enough for 2 to 4 max. Lack of mirrors in 2 of the bedrooms.

Beautiful well appointed house and great location

The property is beautifully appointed with everything you need. Really nice extra touch points like toppers on beds, spa and air conditioning. Inside was extremely well presented. Outside does need a clean though with fences and windows coated in webs and a birds nest by the front door. Thank you for having us.

Fabulous house in Martinborough

We stayed here for a family wedding. There were eight of us in the house. The house was really well kitted out, especially in the kitchen, with plenty of cutlery, plates, glasses etc and cooking equipment. This is always great appreciated. It wax beautifully warm, bedding and rooms were lovely. We really enjoyed our stay.

Wairarapa in December

This is a great house and catered well for our group of 7. Slightly let down by mis-communication between owner and their cleaners such that house had not been serviced when we arrived, but owners rapidly got this sorted out.

From the moment we arrived we loved this place. With 8 of us there we wondered about how cramped it would be. We needn’t have worried, it was spacious and convenient. We were just impressed by the whole place, and very thankful for a wonderful Christmas there. Definitely recommend

Truly a home away from home!

We have stayed in a lot of VRBO properties and this was one of the best! The hosts were responsive and thoughtful with extra touches to make us feel welcome. The home is immaculate (and we loved the eco-consciousness). The sleeping arrangements were perfect for our family of 5 - each child got their own bedroom and the beds and bedding were super comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to make meals and the back deck provided privacy for al fresco dining and a post-dinner jacuzzi! The location is wonderful, in a quiet neighborhood but walkable to downtown cafes, restaurants, and parks. Highly recommend for the Martinborough traveler!
