About this property

A rural delight close to town shops, cafes, restaurants and wineries

This newly developed property in a peaceful rural setting (completed in 2020) is just a two minute drive from the centre of Martinborough village. You will have cows and sheep for neighbours - and magnificent views of the Remutaka and Haurangi mountain ranges.

Close by there are over twenty wineries, many offering lunch or platters to accompany their award winning wines.

There are two bedrooms - both with king size beds. There is a well equipped kitchen, bathroom with spacious shower, laundry facilities and an open-plan lounge and dining area. There is comfortable accommodation for up to four people (two couples) and parking for two or more vehicles right next to the entry. The lounge area opens onto a private deck under a covered portico - ideal for relaxing and enjoying the surrounding mountain and rural landscape.

Relaxing and convenient
A great, semi-rural spot for a serene Martinborough break that is still handy to shops, cafes and wineries via the e-bikes available to rent, a car, or even walking. Highly recommend.

Romina Retreat
The accommodation is lovely but we were disappointed that there were nail clippings on the floor. It was no problem to clean up but not a nice welcome especially when the owner had been so welcoming. We really appreciated the breakfast provided. We did sleep in both bedrooms as the bed on the first night was very uncomfortable, I seemed to have my head sloping downwards and the pillows were flat. The second night was much more comfortable.

About the host

Hosted by Jeff & Brenda

Host profile image
My wife Brenda and I are both outgoing, we like to travel - especially RVing around the USA and here in New Zealand.

We enjoy most all music - jazz and blues - as well as the classics. We like dining out where good food and fine wine is on offer. We particularly enjoy eating out locally - there are so many great options including bars, cafes, wineries and fine dining restaurants.

Why they chose this property

The property is ideally situated to capture all day sun, It is a peaceful place with uninterrupted views over the surrounding rural landscape, Close to town but not in the urban hustle.

What makes this property unique

We offer to transport guests wishing to dine-out and sample our local fare - thus avoiding the need for them to having to drive themselves. Note: it is preferable to arrange for this at the time of your booking or when you arrive.

We are in walking distance of the Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa. But if the weather is not so good, then do not hesitate to ask us to drive you there and back!
