Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa

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.

It's in a stunning location, and the property is very tidy. However, the house keeping did not clean our room despite the fact that we went out of the room around 11:00 AM and came back to find out room still messy.

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.

One of the most delightful spots I’ve ever stayed! Wonderful personnel, beautiful grounds. I’d get married here. Last nights sunset with the hills behind was unbelievable

Brackenridge is our favourite place to stay in Martinborough. The countryside views are gorgeous and it’s super quiet. Our deluxe studio was recently refurbished and super clean.

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 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.

We stayed in the cottage and it was warm and comfortable. I booked a treat at the day spa and it was a must do!

An absolutely relaxing stay and fantastic accommodation and the day spa was certainly an extra bonus.
