Lovely B&B with a fabulous host. The host went our of her way to make us feel welcome. She is an executive chef and we did one of her dinners. It was fantastic. The rooms are quiet and the bed very comfortable. Lovely place. We hope to visit again.

Brilliant host, beautiful accommodation
Exceptional boutique hotel - themed rooms and bathroom - comfortable house with excellent host.
Dinner is by request but it is sumptuous - Rachel is a wonderful and creative chef.
Martinborough is a lovely town - small and flatland with numerous restaurants, bars, shops and surrounded by many enjoyable vineyards. Olive Oil groves are nearby too.

True indulgence at Martinborough
The owner "Rachel", she is an amazing chef!! We never expected to have such a gourmet breakfast.
Her homemade dates scone was excellent. Also I loved the home-made granola. Actually every single meal which she prepared for us was incredible. She offered four course diner but sorry we missed it.
The coronial room was so nice and cute. It was really comfortable to stay-Thank you Rachel!

Attn all food lovers - here is a happy place
From the warm welcome to the leisurely conversations and snacks, it was more like staying with a new friend who lived to cook than a one night hotel transaction. The optional four-course meal (advance notice needed) and hands on pasta making (brilliant on a wet day) are strongly recommended. Planning our next visit already.

The host and the in-house meal was great. The room was OK, but not ‘lodge’ standard’.

Nice cosy, clean and comfortable room. Rachel is a lovely host. I recommend you take advantage of the offer of a home cooked meal from her if it is available. Four beautiful ocurses and a definite highlight of our stay.

Highly recommend.
Beautiful room with a lovey comfortable bed. Nice glass of wine at 5pm along with beautiful canapés. The best continental breakfast the next morning. Pastries, coffee, muesli, fruit etc. Highly recommend that. Easy 10 minute walk to the square.
