We’ve thought about the little things that will make your stay more comfortable. The house has a heat pump which can switch down to 16 degrees making it cool in summer and cosy warm in winter. All bedrooms have TV’s with streaming services as well as double blackout blinds. If you should book, remember your streaming service logons, although there is a free Netflix Red Door account.
Three bedrooms have ceiling fans with others that can be placed as you like. Families with little ones will appreciate the travel cot and highchair available onsite.
The house has two bathrooms – both with infinity hot water – one is the master ensuite, the other has a standalone bath. Lovely soft towels are included – no need to bring any from home.
The kitchen is ultra-modern with all the expected appliances, including a nespresso and foamer for coffee lovers. The fridge has instant cold drinking water, and both the oven and dishwasher are new. Basically, nothing less than you would expect from a full kitchen including plenty of serving platters and plates / cups for outdoors.
There is a separate laundry with a new washing machine and a couple of racks for drying. The driveway fits three cars easily.
The 70 square meter fully-fenced patio is a sun trap – perfect for lounging with a G&T, BBQ, eating al fresco on our large outside table, taking a dip in the pool or snoozing under the umbrella on the recliners.
The location
The Red Door Villa is located just over 1km from the Martinborough Square. Allow 15 minutes to walk, 5 minutes on a bike or a couple of minutes in the car.
In Martinborough, you will find shops, a boutique movie theatre, a decent supermarket and many cafes and restaurants. Hire a bike, or visit one of the many wineries within 5 minutes drive.
Itchy feet? Travel a little further to enjoy some of the highlights of the Wairarapa, like Featherston for the bookstores (15 minutes), Greytown for a lovely lunch (20 minutes), Carterton for some second hand shopping (30 minutes), The Pinnacles (40 min), and Cape Palliser Lighthouse (1 hour).
Or go all out to amazing Castlepoint (1 ½ hours) or Riversdale Beach (1 ½ hours).
