Peppers Martinborough Hotel - Click To Enlargepeppers martinborough hotel

Established in 1882, Peppers Martinborough Hotel is a historic retreat offering luxury, boutique accommodation in the heart of one of New Zealand's finest wine growing regions.

Martinborough is a quirky little village, encircled by vineyards and with a majestic square at its heart. This picturesque wine village lies in the heart of Wairarapa on the North Island, 75 minutes drive east of Wellington, and three hours south of Hawkes Bay. The tiny town (pop. 1300) is hemmed in by 24 wineries, most within walking distance from the hotel.

Peppers Martinborough Hotel Surrounding VineyardsTaking pride of place at the entrance to the square is Peppers Martinborough Hotel. Developer Edmund Buckeridge described it in 1882 as `one of the finest hostelries ever erected in any inland town in New Zealand`. The hotel hasn't forgotten its past, and it's that sense of history and place that will charm you as soon as you step in the front door - from the battered suitcase of a gentleman traveller at the top of the stairs, to the sloping floors and olden day sketches of local personalities adorning the walls.

Today Peppers Martinborough Hotel offers character, comfort and old style personal attention combined, ideal for a romantic weekend away, an indulgent escape or a place to lodge as part of a holiday or vacation. Diners can enjoy classic country cuisine and a wide range of excellent wines in the spacious bistrot which spills out under the verandah onto the historic village square. A cosy open fire keeps pub-goers warm in the hotel's friendly `local` and the evening sun goes down in the garden and petanque pitch set among climbing roses and old fashioned box hedging.

Bistrot and settlers bar

The hotel's Bistrot and Settlers Bar, open 7 days, feature wonderful local produce. Local olive oil is a particular favourite as are the ugly mushrooms, which are farmed nearby. Martinborough is known internationally for its outstanding wines - most of which are grown and made within walking distance of the hotel.

A perfect place to enjoy pre and post dinner drinks is in the Red Room. Its intimate setting is characterised by the classic style furniture and log fire warming the room in the colder months. If a game of snooker is more your style, head to the Malt Whisky Bar where there is a fine selection of over 60 malts and a ¾ size antique snooker table.

Whether dining or simply relaxing, Peppers Martinborough Hotel offers something for everyone.
