Brackenridge is our favourite place to stay in Martinborough. The countryside views are gorgeous and it’s super quiet. Our deluxe studio was recently refurbished and super clean.

Set in the country outside Martinborough - 3G only. Not suitable for business travellers. You can get 4G by driving to Martinborough (6 min) or Greytown (20 min). Nice lap pool, but no pool towels, and a shortage of toilet paper in the ladies’ changing room - and the spa was closed from when I arrived on Saturday afternoon until an hour before my check-out on Tuesday. There was a wedding reception on the Saturday evening - I was told I would hear nothing but the band was very loud. The cottages are all rustic charm but there were small maintenance issues that needed attending to, such as the broken remote on the DVD player. Breakfast was DIY. But the kitchen accessories were fine (a china teapot!) and there was a well-equipped laundry. Great night sky observing when the cloud cleared.
