Martinborough Historic Buttery Cottage

Less than a ten minute (600m) walk to the Square, Butterfly Cottage is a picture-book late 1800s small house.

The cottage is steeped in the history of Martinborough. It was once a hairdresser’s shop, then a residence, located on The Square. It was relocated to Malcolm Street in the early 20th century, when it became a family home for many decades.

It’s a cosy, peaceful little two bedroom cottage on a quiet street. The perfect place to come home to after a day exploring everything Martinborough and the Wairarapa region has to offer.

Let yourself in using the smart lock.

The front bedroom has a queen bed and a beautiful original decorative fireplace. The main bedroom has a big super-king bed and french doors which open out onto a deck with a lovely table and chairs setting - perfect for breakfast, coffee or a glass of Martinborough wine.

The kitchen has everything you might need including a great selection of tea and coffee.

The bathroom has a claw footed bath so you can soak away the day.

The cottage is kept cosy and comfortable by a heat pump/air conditioner. Wifi, Netflix, Amazon Prime, Chrome Cast and a selection of books will keep you entertained

*The cottage is very, very old. The floors slope slightly and some of the floorboards are creaky and can be a little uneven

A cute little slice of historic Martinborough, just a short walk from the centre of the village

Cute cottage for girls weekend getaway
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 👌 Would highly recommend.

Quiet and nice but not much love
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.
