Peppers Martinborough Hotel, Martinborough

Established in 1882, Peppers Martinborough Hotel is an exclusive Peppers retreat offering luxury, historic boutique accommodation near Wellington, in the heart of Martinborough Wine Village - one of New Zealand's finest wine destinations.

Martinborough is a quirky little village of just 1300 people with a leafy square at its heart. Taking pride of place at the entrance to the square is Peppers Martinborough Hotel. Developer Edmund Buckeridge described it as "one of the finest hostelries ever erected in any inland town in New Zealand". The hotel hasn't forgotten its past, and it's that sense of history and place that will charm you as soon as you step in the front door.

Today Peppers Martinborough Hotel offers character, comfort and old style personal attention, making it ideal for a romantic weekend away, an indulgent escape or accommodation as part of a holiday or vacation.

Situated on the North Island, 75 minutes drive east of Wellington, and three hours south of Hawkes Bay, Peppers Martinborough Hotel offers you a choice of 16 individually designed guest accommodation rooms.

Dining is a favoured pastime at Peppers Martinborough Restaurant where our ever-changing menu of modern and contemporary food accompanied by a wide range of excellent locally produced wines will tantalise your tastebuds. You will spend hours in our famed Bar where a collection of memorabilia, grand antique oak table and cosy fire set the perfect setting for a few relaxed drinks.

Encircled by over 30 vineyards, most of which are within walking distance of the hotel, grape lovers will be spoiled for choice. If you want to venture further afield one of the best ways to explore is by bicycle. Other highlights of the area include the seal colony on Cape Palliser, Stonehenge Aotearoa, New Zealand’s own adaptation of Stonehenge and the Mount Bruce National Wildlife Centre. There are also three delightful country golf courses nearby.
