The house is sitting next to a right of way for rear property.
Nice decor, except window in the bathroom isn't very private.
Very small dining area. Okay for 2, squeeze for 3+. Used all heaters and heat pump.
Loved the cute cottage vibes. Beds were very comfortable and big. House was cosy and perfect for an overnight girls getaway place to relax after biking wine tour during the day. Shower was great too. Easy and high tech lock for security was great. Easy walk to the centre of Martinborough, Four Square supermarket and fish n chips shop all very convenient. Communication with host was fab and instructions were spot on đ Would highly recommend.
We were booked for Two nights over the weekend, we managed to get the Friday off so changed to three nights, nothing was an issue, easy communicaA lovely character turn of last century cottage located a short distance from Martinborough centre, just what we wanted. Will definitely use again if available.
The host, Belinda, made our stay at the Butterfly Cottage in Martinborough absolutely perfect for Christmas. Not only was the cottage comfortable and spacious, but had placed Christmas decor around the cottage, such as a âMerry Christmasâ doormat, a wreath on the door, and a few other tasteful decorations about. Belinda even left a Ferrero Rocher pyramid which was such a nice touch.Communication was easy and uncomplicated, and the host had even offered an early check in time than what was advertised. The cottage was clean and had all the amenities we needed.We will definitely be staying here again in the near future, I would highly recommend if youâre looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in Martinborough.
The location was quiet with a ten minute walk into town. The bed linen was lovely, the pot of chocolates, soap all good.
The stay was OK but really the property was quite basic in certain areas.
The dining table was in an alcove where my husband's head touched the roof. Certainly not a spot for more than two people.
The garden had been maintained at the front but nothing more than that. The back was sparse and uninviting.
Putting a shower over a bath with high sloping sides,
designed before showers were invented, crosses the line between quaint and rustic into plain old uncomfortable. The two shower curtains stick to your body as you try to wash and don't cover the wall behind the taps. This wall (which is behind the bed in the main bedroom) and the floor is looking predictably damp.
All up it's OK for two people for a weekend, but needs a bit more TLC.
We loved our stay at Butterfly Cottage. The house is very comfortable, has everything you need and is in a great location to get to Martinborough and the wineries. We will definitely be back!
This is a beautiful restored wee cottage, for one or two couples, which is within easy walking distance of the square. We had troubles with getting in to start with, due to the heat playing havoc with the lock mechanism, but Belinda was really helpful in helping us get around that. This was the second time we stayed here, and won't be the last. We enjoy the tranquility, and the back yard is great for sitting out in the sun.
Hi, the cottage was clean and comfortable. Everything we needed was supplied. Beds were super comfortable.
Only slight problem was very squeaky floorboards in the hallway which would wake anyone trying to sleep. Great check in check out. Lovely quiet neighbourhood.
A lovely and well appointed cottage with all the little things thought of, however, older people may have difficulty accessing a shower which is over a rather narrow bath and no grab handle.
A lovely old property with everything you could possibly need on site. Beautifully decorated and styled.
Within walking distance to the Square in town . We would definitely stay there again .
This little cottage is owned, maintained and loved by us, Belinda & Kevin. Weâre so proud to be the current owners and caretakers of this little piece of history and we want our guests to love it too
Thereâs always something going on in Martinborough, from the Fair in February and March, through to Toast Martinborough in January and all sorts of festivals and events in between. Vineyards, cafes, shops and walks. The climate is wonderful. Thereâs nothing like a hot summer day in Marty and the winters are beautiful and bracing. Itâs a great base to see the amazing landscapes of the Wairarapa region and visit the other towns.
This little house is a slice of history. Itâs been here longer than most other houses in the town. It was originally by the Square and was relocated to its current position many decades ago. Weâre finding out more about it every chance we can. Just imagine the people and events it has seen come and go in the last 120+ years
