Welcome to The Back Paddock

Enjoy the wonderful wine village of Martinborough in our 1920's relocated farm cottage. Offering peaceful views of the surrounding farmland, The Back Paddock gives a unique sense of rural life, yet is only 1km from Martinborough township.

Enjoy a wine from one of the many local vineyards on our deck, or a cup of tea in front of our cozy woodburner. Our spacious open-plan living room and kitchen allows for entertaining and creates a comfortable, spacious environment. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality appliances, including a bread maker and with the BBQ on the deck you can choose to entertain, relax and eat at the cottage, or go out and experience the local Martinborough restaurants and pubs..
We recommend that you take a moment to view the vast, unpolluted night sky which on a clear night is simply stunning.

The Back Paddock offers wheelchair friendly parking and access ramp, as well as accessible bathroom facilities.
A second toilet reminiscent of the original 1920's design can be accessed from the deck. The Back Paddock can comfortably accommodate three couples or a family of four. A continental breakfast (cereals, bread) is provided, plus everything you need to make your own bread! (Set it up the night before and wake up in the morning to the wonderful smell of freshly made bread).

Martinborough offers many entertaining events throughout the year, such as the annual February and March fairs (one of the biggest annual fairs in the Southern Hemisphere!) , the Round The Vines walk/run also in March. and In November the infamous Toast Martinborough. The area is great for cycling and has many wonderful walks too. For more information about the Wairarapa and whats on visit: wairarapanz.com

A Pampered Girls' Stay
Everything was GORGEOUS!! Every room smelled DELICIOUS... every room LOOKED delicious... it was beautifully presented and lushly appointed, situated within idyllic grounds in a pastoral, scenic locale, still walking distance to Marty Square. The rainy, blustery night meant we were justified in lighting the ready-set fire...Thank you!... and we conjured up a delightful meal in the very cool kitchen. It was just one night, but we could have stayed forever. PERFECT for a girlie getaway, me, my daughter, and daughter-in-law. Bliss.

This beautiful cottage was imacculate, warm and the well kitted out kitchen would have been incredibly handy if we had stayed for longer. The bathroom was lovely and the bed made for a great rest. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtful snacks, Elaine.

Amazing rural getaway in Martinborough
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely gem! The bach is just gorgeous, very comfy even on a cold morning thanks to the woodburner. We couldn’t enjoy the many outdoor areas as it was too cold, but this place must be as pleasant in summer as it was for us. Both beds were really comfortable, nice hot shower and a very well equipped kitchen. Indeed a true gem!

Fantastic Stay
We wish we could have stayed longer! Elaine's place was lovely, with a huge, well-stocked kitchen and plenty of space to spread out. We thoroughly enjoyed the large yard and outdoor space. The night sky was beautiful. It's a short walk (~20 min) to the town square for food and drinks. Also, very appreciated the treats in the fridge. We highly recommend this place if you're in Martinborough!

We all wished we had a longer stay at this property, great location, even better place! The beds were amazing - even the pull out couch, extremely clean with everything and more you could ever want. House is absolute perfection - if I win lotto this is the house (and everything inside) I want! Above and beyond in all categories, from the beds to location - can't wait to stay here again

Chilled stay
Everything was spotlessly clean and the house was lovely and had been renovated since the photos, we thought the photos didn't do it justice! It was cold on the Saturday so we enjoyed having the fire going. The only thing I would mention is the chairs in the lounge are very small and the rotating one is broken. Thanks for a lovely getaway!
