The square is just a short drive for you to head in and have dinner at Circus Cinema Restaurant, amazing pizza at Little Square Pizza, or tasty burgers at 5711 located in the square, have coffee at Neighbourhood cafe or meet the locals over bacon and eggs at Kitcheners.

Just half an hour's drive from Martinborough is Lake Ferry, a sleepy beach village on the shores of Lake Onoke where it empties into rugged Palliser Bay.

Go fishing with views of the South Island, try catching whitebait if you're here in spring - or just enjoy a sunset dinner at the Lake Ferry Hotel. They do fab whitebait fritters and flounder!

The main Square is located just 500m away, where you will find a bus stop which can connect you to the train line if you wish to explore some of what the rest of the Wairarapa has to offer, or head into Wellington.

We also have bicycles for hire, which is the perfect way to get around and explore the vineyards Martinborough is famous for. Send us a message if you want to arrange these.

Traveled with family
Bronte house is very cute and has been renovated from its original look. It is located well and the town square is within walking distance. Unfortunately, a few things let it down. If you plan to use the kitchen then you need to bring or buy all cooking ingredients as they only supply salt/pepper, coffee a few tea bags and satchets of sugar. It didnt have things I would expect such as a potato peeler, serving dishes, paper towels/glad wrap, face tissues, broom or vacuum cleaner. It also had some maintenance issues. The main light in the master bedroom had no working light bulbs, the bath to shower diverter was broken, there were huge cobwebs hanging from the bedroom ceiling and the outdoor furniture/ deck needed cleaning/sweeping before we could use it. We did ask for these things to be rectified and a very nice maintenance man came around (with a broom) replaced the light bulbs but did not have the part to fix the shower. We did enjoy our stay in Bronte house but for the amount charged I did expect not to have these issues.

Brontë House didn’t disappoint

Great spot and house layout made it perfect for us, two bedrooms had common spaces between so we’re able to share but also have own space. Nice deck to hang out on and great to have two AC units as we lucked in with really hot days and nights during our stay.

Close to town beautiful house with everything we needed for a weekend away. The only down side was the tiled shower was mouldy and felt dirty to shower in.

Cruise Martinborough

Bronte House was a lovely, clean and comfortable home to stay in for a few days away. Maybe something to take on board for future guests would be a peeler, tin opener and some bbq utensils. Overall would recommend to others.

Gorgeous place with ACE facilities

The cottage is lovely, just a 10 min walk from the Square and has a private drive. A large deck great for alfresco eating and bbq if needed. Spotless, nice linen and towels as well as full cooking facilities. Heat pumps and circulation fans also in the property.
