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.
Very happy with the quality and location of the accommodation. Owner very accommodating and friendly. Clean and tidy with all the extra little things that make staying away enjoyable. Great location and local knowledge to suit

We loved our stay at Gatehouse Cottage . It had everything we could have wished for and so peaceful . Walking distance to the square and lots of wineries . Martinborough is a special place and 26 Rows is the ideal spot to stay .
The Gatehouse was perfect for our stay with friends. It had all that we required to enjoy meals together and coffee/tea/wine on the porch taking in the view. Very quiet and peaceful.

Thank you so much David for your amazing comments. We so enjoyed hosting you both. Glad to hear it was just what you ordered.
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.
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!
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.

It's was very well appointed, with generous extras in terms of food,wine.. The only thing missing was the Hot Tub that was mentioned in the Book-a-bach listing of amenities. We were all looking forward to that.
