Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa offers a quiet rural retreat near Martinborough with spacious, comfortable cottages, DIY breakfast supplies, and popular facilities like an indoor pool, gym, and day spa, supported by friendly, responsive staff.
Many appreciate the short drive or e-bike ride to town and wineries, along with cozy in-room touches like fireplaces and underfloor heating. Cleanliness feedback is mixed, with recurring mentions of dust, cobwebs, exterior debris, and occasional mould or missed servicing, and some furnishings or TVs feel dated; a few note design quirks like a slippery shower over a bath. Expect a peaceful, self-catering stay with strong amenities and a countryside vibe.

The cottages were delightful - lots of space, airy and comfortable, as 5 adults we didn't feel crowded/on top of each other at all. We didn't have time to partake in the lovely breakfast items left for us in the kitchen but it looked great. Pool was a welcome feature in summer and aircon in the gym ideal. Excellent location even if you do really need to drive (or e-bike) into the township/to the wineries.

Set in the country outside Martinborough - 3G only. Not suitable for business travellers. You can get 4G by driving to Martinborough (6 min) or Greytown (20 min). Nice lap pool, but no pool towels, and a shortage of toilet paper in the ladies’ changing room - and the spa was closed from when I arrived on Saturday afternoon until an hour before my check-out on Tuesday. There was a wedding reception on the Saturday evening - I was told I would hear nothing but the band was very loud. The cottages are all rustic charm but there were small maintenance issues that needed attending to, such as the broken remote on the DVD player. Breakfast was DIY. But the kitchen accessories were fine (a china teapot!) and there was a well-equipped laundry. Great night sky observing when the cloud cleared.

A quiet retreat just outside the town - easily accessible to everything Martinburough offers including the excellent wineries in the region. Accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast options left in the room. The fitness area was great also - well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovey time, and overall the property was nice, but it was just let down in a few ways, there were very dirty oven trays in the oven from previous guests. There were sticky marks on the walls and ceiling, from a previous guests, drink? perhaps. which led to a feeling that the cottage was not well cleaned. Otherwise it was a beautiful setting and very comfortable.

Love staying here for the relaxation silence and breakfast supplies. On the letdown side... A bit of dust and cobwebs particularly up high and round dryer and washing machine. A guests view sitting on the toilet or looking from couch tells alot. Responsive to request to split beds as per booking. Great to have a smart TV to enable more TV options. Couches are not the most comfortable as they are itchy fabric but the bed throws fixed that. And you're meant to be out and about enjoying the environment.

Die Lage und die Anlage sind super, wenn man die Ruhe sucht oder zum Leuchtturm möchte. Das Zimmer an sich war gross, aber es wurde schon länger nicht mehr geputzt. Auf dem Boden (beim TV, beim Lavabo, beim Schreibtisch) waren tote Insekten, an den Wänden Spinnenwaben und die Fensterdichtungen sind schwarz (wahrscheinlich Schimmel). Die Kommunikation mit dem Hotel war okay und das Frühstück, das man im Zimmer überkommt (Eier, Brot, Saft, etc), war gut!

The unit was very spacious and clean. However, the shower/bath was very hard to get into and very slippery and dangerous to use. There were no grab bars and you had to step up to get your leg into the shower. The outside walkway of the unit was also not clean so we tracked a lot of debris in with luggage and shoes.

Brackenridge was good overall. Underfloor heating and privacy is really good. Door lock is unusual but functional. It should lock behind you without having to put the code in again. Things to improve on are; the curtains needed to be wider to block out light and the ironing board was not really suitable for anything. So if you are having a wedding and staying there take your own board.

Nice spot, more rustic than luxury but comfortable once we got the heatpump cranking and the underfloor heating on in the bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable , shower had excellent pressure but TV needs an update and the bathrooms/kitchen need to be modernised a bit. Having stayed at other “luxury” properties in Martinborough this one didn’t really hit the same mark but was nice enough.

Spa is amazing, had a lovely treatment. The cottages are great, spacious for families and they take dogs! (we didn’t bring ours this time). The decor is a bit dated and the larger sofa in our cottage had died (springs broken) so should be replaced. Beds were super comfy, softer than you tend to find. It’d be nice if the daily cleaning crew could empty bins and maybe make the beds. Awesome to have breakfast stuff supplied, fresh eggs, apple juice, proper coffee and sourdough. Not sure if it’s more expensive in summer but we thought it was bargain compared to other Wairarapa options we could find. We’ll be back for sure!

Absolutely fabulous! Set in several acres of beautiful countryside. We stayed in two of the 2 bed cottages as there were 5 of us which gave us more than enough space. The cottages are fully equipped and beautifully furnished - I love the fact that there are photos of where the kitchen equipment belongs, breakfast is provided to make yourself (basket of eggs, sliced sourdough in the freezer, refillable jars of cornflakes and museli etc..), oodles of fluffy towels and a washing machine/dryer to keep up to date with the essentials. The staff are really friendly and the surroundings are simply serene - we sat for hours listening to bird song and taking in the calm atmosphere. It's great for watching the stars at night too as there is very little light pollution. Martinborough is a lovely town and only a mile or so down the road. Cannot recommend this beautiful place highly enough.

Beautiful property, can easily see why it is a wedding venue! Loved the spa onsite and the gym/pool was very handy. Is qbout a five minute bike from town but not bad. Thanks for the lovely stay!

提供豐富的早餐這點對於我來說非常方便 我不像其他遊客是自駕 當我走了快30分鐘終於抵達，才發現肚子餓，要走到鎮中心對我來說太不方便，我也擔心吃完回來時間太晚 好險有提供早餐，我一個人可以分成晚餐及早餐享用

Set in the country outside Martinborough - 3G only. Not suitable for business travellers. You can get 4G by driving to Martinborough (6 min) or Greytown (20 min). Nice lap pool, but no pool towels, and a shortage of toilet paper in the ladies’ changing room - and the spa was closed from when I arrived on Saturday afternoon until an hour before my check-out on Tuesday. There was a wedding reception on the Saturday evening - I was told I would hear nothing but the band was very loud. The cottages are all rustic charm but there were small maintenance issues that needed attending to, such as the broken remote on the DVD player. Breakfast was DIY. But the kitchen accessories were fine (a china teapot!) and there was a well-equipped laundry. Great night sky observing when the cloud cleared.

Absolutely fabulous! Set in several acres of beautiful countryside. We stayed in two of the 2 bed cottages as there were 5 of us which gave us more than enough space. The cottages are fully equipped and beautifully furnished - I love the fact that there are photos of where the kitchen equipment belongs, breakfast is provided to make yourself (basket of eggs, sliced sourdough in the freezer, refillable jars of cornflakes and museli etc..), oodles of fluffy towels and a washing machine/dryer to keep up to date with the essentials. The staff are really friendly and the surroundings are simply serene - we sat for hours listening to bird song and taking in the calm atmosphere. It's great for watching the stars at night too as there is very little light pollution. Martinborough is a lovely town and only a mile or so down the road. Cannot recommend this beautiful place highly enough.

A quiet retreat just outside the town - easily accessible to everything Martinburough offers including the excellent wineries in the region. Accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast options left in the room. The fitness area was great also - well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

Had a very enjoyable 5 night stay. Underfloor heating in bathroom was terrific. Loved the breakfast items with daily restocking. Excellent indoor pool. Staff were terrific. The resort is well located to all the major attractions in the Martinborough region.

Relaxing and quiet! Excellent self-catering breakfast option in the studio. Short drive to the square. Nice to hear the birds in the morning and none of the big city noise - a hidden gem.

We loved the country feel. Nice and quiet, close to town. We were expecting breakfast every morning but were only left with one mornings supplies. We also had to get our own kindling wood for the fireplace.

Very relaxing stay, not many guests so it was very quiet. The continental breakfast with eggs was a pleasant surprise. Unit was warm and having a fire was a nice bonus. We’ll be back at some stage.
