Martinborough is at the heart of the Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve.

If you haven’t yet seen it, you’re in for something truly special. The Wairarapa’s Dark Sky Reserve is one of those places where the stars feel close enough to touch.

And here’s the best part—Brackenridge is the perfect spot to stay while you soak it all in.

The end of winter/early spring brings crisp mornings and clear skies. Once you've enjoyed the stars, retreat to your cosy room and cuddle up by the fire.

Ready for a little star-gazing magic? Book your stay with us and see the Wairarapa Dark Sky Reserve for yourself.

July is just around the corner and our neighbors down the road in Greytown are gearing up for a busy month, with their mid-winter Christmas festival.

Accommodation can be tough to secure in Greytown at this time so we recommend making a whole Wairarapa weekend of it.

Come and stay with us, pedal round the Martinborough vineyards during the day and then pop over to Greytown in the evening to enjoy the festivities!

Only a 90 minute roadie from the capital city, Wellington - this is a great way to explore your own backyard this winter.

Imagine waking up in a cosy cottage nestled among the rolling hills of the Wairarapa countryside. The first light of dawn gently filters through the curtains, painting the room with a soft, golden glow. You can hear the tranquil sounds of nature outside - birds chirping, leaves rustling in the breeze, and perhaps a distant sheep bleating in the pasture.

As you slowly rise from your comfortable bed, you pad over to the window and draw back the curtains, revealing a breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape. The air is crisp and clean.
Stepping outside onto the patio, you're greeted by the invigorating chill of the morning air. You wrap yourself in a warm blanket and settle
into a comfortable chair, savoring a steaming cup of coffee or tea. The world around you is waking up - sunlight dancing on the dew-kissed grass.

As the leaves turn deep maroon, we're busy stocking the firewood and preparing to welcome couples and families for their mid-winter escapes.
