For those who are seeking a countryside experience but don't want to compromise on the comforts of home, this might just be the perfect property for you. Welcome to Brooklands Cottage!

In winter, wander out onto the decking to indulge in a soak in the spa pool any time of the day, but at night might be best for a spot of stargazing. Or take shelter indoors with a fire roaring to keep you warm. Each bedroom is beautifully presented and is furnished with comfortable beds, ready for a restful night's sleep.

Brooklands Cottage not only looks inviting both inside and out, but is also equipped to create an inviting and effortless stay. Set the ideal temperature with the heat pump and stay connected with complimentary WIFI!

Pets can stay at a fee, please message us if you would like your pet to bring one along.

At Brooklands Cottage, the gourmet food and wine of the Wairarapa region are available only a short drive away at some of New Zealand's most famous and award-winning vineyards. And it's just a six-minute walk to the centre square of Martinborough!

The relaxed atmosphere here at Brooklands Cottage will be sure to beg you back again, to wine and dine or simply have a wonderful holiday!

The square is just a short walk 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.

Martinborough boasts itself on incredible vineyards... take yourself to some of our favourites - Moy Hall, Colombo Martinborough, Schubert Wines, Luna Estate and On Giants' Shoulders. Great for tastings and for lunch.

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.

House is in a great location, short walk to the square. Well equipped with comfy beds. Lovely and private, the spa is great. Wifi doesn't seem to be configured correctly as no one could connect to it, luckily the TV is connected via a cable so that worked.

Lovely holiday home, within a short walk to town. House was very comfortable, spa was great. Heat pumps and a fire, which was cosy. We wouldn’t connect to the internet, but the tv could. It was odd, but we just used 5G. Would be useful to have paper towels and spray n wipe supplied to help clean any kitchen spills etc.

Lovely Cottage

We had the perfect base for our Martinborough visit. The bed was super comfortable, great shower and lots of hot water. Very well equipped with everything. Loved the space and inside/outside balance. 'Hot' tub (because we dialled the temperature down,) was a great relaxer at the end of a day of exploring and walking. We would happily stay again. Few things needed attention but property agents responsive to contact.

House great but terrible smell which got worse.

Unfortunately there was a terrible smell when we entered the property which got worse over the weekend. Property manager alerted but no resolution or alternative offered. Unlikely a pre-inspection done as the smell would have been very obvious.

Family Christmas

Great property location, gardens and verandahs to relax in and on. Kitchen utensils sadly lacking and the only downside. Needs replacement tea cups (cracked or chipped), plates, no coffee plunger, no bread knife, not enough tea towels (two!). Tin opener didn’t work (replaced with new). Pegs for washing line lacking (only 10 max) and not enough for family washing. Other than these everything else was wonderful. Thx Nik
