A hidden gem
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this charming garden Studio. It is clean, comfortable and handy to the village square. We enjoyed the breakfast provided by Richard and the little extras (chocolate and fruit). It was our third stay at this property and we will definitely be returning.

Great little bach in Martinborough
This cosy one bed bach is ideally situated for a weekend or longer in Martinborough. A short walk from town and wineries, with a pleasant outlook and space to chill out. Richard is a friendly and helpful host and we would happily stay here again 😊

I can only agree with your comment on the grounds, John. It was the downside of having gone off on a 3-week trip in Springtime and not having caught up yet. However, come back in a month or so and I should be able to show you much sprucer grounds. Thank you for the hanging stone. It is a lovely enhancement.

You can’t do better than this
Great little self contained unit. Exactly as described. The bonus is that your host Richard is a thoroughly likeable, affable guy who goes out his way to help. The setting is great too. If you like small self contained, tidy units with aircon in a quiet setting, close to everything then this may be for you. Highly recommended!

We enjoyed our stay in this nice room - a little cramped around the kitchen and bathroom areas, but very comfortable none the less. Having a heat pump was great, and the owner was very amenable, even offering us fruit off his lovely fruit trees outside. Parking was a little cramped, but ok.

Studio 25 is a restful and calming place to stay at. Clearly a lot of thought has gone into the little touches that help make it a home away from home. Richard conveys the perfect balance between allowing you space yet being there if you need him.

Lovely studio
I really enjoyed my stay at Studio 88. The location was very central to town and the vineyards and was easy to locate. Studio 88 had everything you could possibly need - a spot to park your car, an iron and even breakfast! Richard was a fantastic host who went out of his way to help me and even gave me a tasty nectarine to sample. Very grateful to find this hidden gem and hope to return when I am next in Martinborough. Thank you Richard for your kind hospitality!
