Incredible house and location
I seriously can’t get over how perfect this place was. The photos really don’t do it justice. One of the bedrooms is seperate to the main house, so it’s great if you want a bit of privacy away from others. The wooden panelling inside is stunning and there’s a reading nook in the roof with window! Lots of trees with shade, and the stars are almost magical, especially if you’re a city person like me. The area is quiet and peaceful and so lovely. Owner’s right next door but they do their own thing and will help out with any questions if you have them. Couldn’t ask for better. I would love to go back one day! I recommend this place to everyone.

A wonderful relaxing weekend away in this well appointed and tasteful cottage. The views and garden make this a real retreat. Close to the many attractions that Martinborough has to offer. Kim, the host, made sure that our stay was everything we had hoped for. Would highly recommend.

Peaceful retreat
A private and peaceful location, when we visited at Easter. One of the cleanest, best presented and equiped stays we have had. The main cottage is well laid out and the separate bedroom worked well for our family. Windfall feijoa's a real treat.

Wonderful cottage amongst the vines
Lovely cottage set next to vines in a very quiet area. Walking distance to many wineries and a short drive to the township. The cottage had all the essentials including a very generous breakfast, with fresh eggs, homemade jam and more. The kitchen was very well equipped and eco friendly. Plenty of charging stations for electronics, comfortable beds and enough room for our party of 5. The annexed cottage is very comfortable and spacious. Kim is very responsive and made us feel at home. The photos don’t do this cottage justice. Highly recommended.

Birthday day getaway
We both very much enjoyed our two night stay at Dara Cottage with all the extras provided. The breakfast provisions were excellent. The fire warmed the cottage which was so enjoyed and the fire and kindling wood were well supplied. The beds were very comfortable with beautiful linen. Met the friendly rooster and his henny penny girls . Would highly recommend this beautiful little cottage to enjoy the surroundings, views of the hills and just totally relax. Am most certainly going to go back again very soon.

cute little cottage in the vines
We had a very pleasant stay. The layout is perfect for a holiday house, ideally located close to the main vineyards. The sky at night is amazing and mornings in the fog and among birds give you a very peaceful feeling. We definitely loved and recommend it.

The most amazing mini holiday!
Right from the moment we drove into the driveway we knew it was going to be a special few days in Martinborough. The owners had thought of everything and provided fresh eggs, milk bread, and even plums straight out of the orchard. The garden in the back was perfect for our toddler to run around. The cottage was a perfect 5 minute bike ride to the town centre. We will be back for sure!!

Gorgeous cottage in beautiful setting
We had a wonderful time in gorgeous Dara cottage. It was warm, very clean, and well set up with everything we needed. The wood fire was perfect for warming the whole cottage and the owners made sure we had plenty of wood and kindling. The cottage has beautiful views of the vineyard and surrounds, and we were visited by chickens and a rooster. Highly recommend the cottage for a lovely relaxing stay.

Vineyard cottage stay
Nice 2br cottage and semi-detached 1br unit. Excellent communications with owners, cottage well-appointed, tidy. Lovely setting, set back from road, with view of Tararuas, so very quiet. Walking distance to main vineyard road in Martinborough, and 1-2km from town centre, and golf course. Nice living spaces,. Well-appointed fairly original kitchen. Excellent wood-burner and firewood supply. A very enjoyable weekend in a lovely and convenient setting.
