About this property

The Wine Box cottage in the Olive Grove

The Wine Box is a lovely character cottage on a one hectare site on the edge of the Martinborough township. Set in amongst 200 olive trees there is plenty of outdoor space. The wood fired pizza oven and gas BBQ provide an outstanding outdoor living environment. Inside there is a master bedroom with ensuite and french doors opening out to the olive grove, a second bedroom with a queen bed and the third bedroom has a single bed and a queen bed. The main bathroom has an antique claw foot bath with shower. A kitchen (with nespresso machine) looks after all cooking requirements if you chose to dine at the house. Please note that there is only a bar fridge as there is not room for a full size one. The lounge has a wood burner - THIS DOES NOT HAVE A FIRE GUARD SO SMALL CHILDREN NEED TO BE SUPERVISED DURING WINTER MONTHS.
With a 10 minute stroll to the square, all the features of Martinborough are available to you.

Comfy short stay
Lovely property to stay at, handy to town short drive to the square. Loved the comfy bed. Just needs the outside driveway to be shingled as when wet is muddy trying to get stuff in/out of car. Would not put us off staying again in future

Great house
We very much enjoyed our stay. The pizza oven was a hit very peaceful surronds. The house could do with some TLC lots of cobwebs and spiders. Overall a good option for a stay in Martinborough.

House quaint, French influence. Everything that was needed
Outside area which was big draw card for staying with pizza oven etc was shabby, overgrown with weeds, cobwebs and plants gone wild. For summer visitors needs some attention
