Established in 1882, Peppers Martinborough Hotel is a historic retreat offering luxury, boutique accommodation in the heart of one of New Zealand's finest wine growing regions near Wellington. Martinborough is a quirky little village, encircled by vineyards and with a majestic square at its heart. This picturesque wine village lies in the heart of Wairarapa on the North Island, 75 minutes drive east of Wellington, and three hours south of Hawkes Bay. The tiny town (pop. 1300) is hemmed in by 24 wineries, most within walking distance from the hotel.
Taking pride of place at the entrance to the square is Peppers Martinborough Hotel. Developer Edmund Buckeridge described it in 1882 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 - from the battered suitcase of a gentleman traveller at the top of the stairs, to the accommodation's sloping floors and olden day sketches of local personalities adorning the walls. 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. Diners can enjoy classic country cuisine and a wide range of excellent wines in the spacious bistrot which spills out under the verandah onto the historic village square. A cosy open fire keeps pub-goers warm in the hotel's friendly "local" and the evening sun goes down in the garden and petanque pitch set among climbing roses and old fashioned box hedging.
Martinborough is known internationally for its outstanding wines - most of which are grown and made within walking distance of Peppers Martinborough Hotel. Our wine list includes a comprehensive selection of varietals and vintages from these great vineyards.Less well known is the wonderful local produce, which features in our Bistrot and Settlers Bar menus. Local olive oil is a particular favourite as are the ugly mushrooms, which are farmed nearby. Wairarapa lamb is a perfect match for Martinborough Pinot Noir, and crayfish and whitebait caught off the Wairarapa coast are a delight when accompanied with a crisp local Sauvignon Blanc.The Bistrot and Settlers Bar are open every day for a fine dining experience or simply good local food and wine.
