Best suited to NZ domestic travellers
A large 3-bedroom home in a lovely rural setting, an easy 2-minute drive from Martinborough town centre. Peaceful. This accommodation is best suited to domestic visitors, not overseas visitors like us. We experienced problems because the Vrbo Australia and NZ platforms did not integrate, so messages like the address, key location, and the fact that no linen was supplied with this booking (15 cash only per person hire) were not easily accessible to us. Cash is not easy to access in Martinborough as an overseas tourist, and it requires a lot of effort to locate. Late at night, there is also a lot of pressure to have linen delivered, which is of poor quality and not commercially washed. I have never experienced linen not being provided with accommodation on these platforms before, so this is more akin to the bach experience from decades ago. Bring your own everything from home. The accommodation states it can sleep 14, but there isn't enough crockery, etc., for that number. There are multiple beds in the three bedrooms, so it's a dormitory-like experience. There is no laundry accessible in the house. The local laundromat is open only during business hours, and loads cost 8 each. The house is tidy but very dusty and musty. The heating is electric, not fireplaces. The owners responded to messages quickly, and a local resident who lives on-site, accessible through a shared door to the property, provided the linen. Not really set up for overseas travellers, and basic.
