This four-bedroom, two-bathroom home is ideal for two families staying together. It boasts two separate wings, each with a queen bedroom, bathroom and bunkroom. The house can accommodate 10 people, but we prefer a maximum of 6 adults per stay. Please enquire directly if you wish to discuss this before confirming your booking, or if you have any specific requirements. Perfect indoor/outdoor flow from the well-appointed kitchen to a large sunny deck, complete with an outdoor sofa and dining space there\`s plenty of room to watch the kids play on the fully fenced flat lawn. Open the doors and enjoy a drink around the BBQ in summer, or keep warm and toasty in winter in front of the fire. Just a 10-minute stroll to the square, or faster on two wheels, everything you need is within easy reach. Wind Down on Esther has a strict no party policy, and as it\`s situated in a residential environment, we ask that all guests are considerate of our neighbours and keep quiet after 10pm and don\`t use the spa after this time. Guests will have full access to the property, deck, outdoor area and Spa pool. Please call us between 9am and 5pm, 7 days a week during your stay if you have any questions. OR after hours only in an emergency. The square is just a short drive for you to head in and have dinner at Circus Cinema Restaurant, amazing pizza at Little Square Pizza, or tasty burgers at 5711 located in the square, have coffee at Neighbourhood cafe or meet the locals over bacon and eggs at Kitcheners. Martinborough boasts itself on incredible vineyards... take yourself to some of our favourites - Moy Hall, Colombo Martinborough, Schubert Wines, Luna Estate and On Giants\` Shoulders. Great for tastings and for lunch. Just half an hour\`s drive from Martinborough is Lake Ferry, a sleepy beach village on the shores of Lake Onoke where it empties into rugged Palliser Bay. Go fishing with views of the South Island, try catching whitebait if you\`re here in spring - or just enjoy a sunset dinner at the Lake Ferry Hotel. They do fab whitebait fritters and flounder! The main Square is located just 900m and where you will find a bus stop which can connect you to the train line if you wish to explore some of what the rest of the Wairarapa has to offer, or head into Wellington. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the apartment: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Kitchen island - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room - Separate dining area ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Video games ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fully-fenced - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - On the bay ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/28000000/27690000/27680400/27680340/861b6a7f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### ELLSTONE farm,4km from Mba, mountain views,private,spa.Wifi.(linen extra fee) Martinborough - Hot tub - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Air conditioning 9.6 Exceptional 295 reviews CA $142 CA $226 total includes taxes & fees Nov 20 - Nov 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=27680340&PinnedHotelID=27680340&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88100000/88099800/88099783/668e72aa.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Green House: Luxe Eco Escape Martinborough - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 9.8 Exceptional 50 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-03&endDate=2025-12-04&selected=88099783&PinnedHotelID=88099783&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112570000/112562100/112562004/1743c981.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Quirky & Cool on Cork Martinborough - Kitchen - Free WiFi - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 2 reviews CA $182 CA $277 total includes taxes & fees Nov 20 - Nov 21 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-20&endDate=2025-11-21&selected=112562004&PinnedHotelID=112562004&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/120000000/119480000/119478900/119478809/0a84c93f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Walnut House Martinborough Martinborough - Kitchen - Washer - Free WiFi - Air conditioning CA $173 CA $268 total includes taxes & fees Nov 25 - Nov 26 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-11-25&endDate=2025-11-26&selected=119478809&PinnedHotelID=119478809&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/30000000/29490000/29482800/29482726/a8764191.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Location, Location, Location.

Only suggestion is with a bigger group with the extra charges per person per night it would have been a nice touch for some simple items that would reflect the booking size, a 1L or 2L milk in fridge, variety of teas (we only had earl grey on offer) and there's 2 coffee plungers but no plunger coffee to make. It was -2 overnight so we would have appreciated some extra blankets in the wardrobes to use if needed and more kindling for the fire. Small touches though, then I would have given it 5 stars. However I would definitely stay again. ##### Loren E. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Alison P. Jan 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Family get-together Excellent, secure property for a family get-together that included a small child who appreciated the toys and books available. Well equiped kitchen, however neither the cooktop nor the oven / fry pans were particularly clean (maybe provide scouring pads for the pans). There was no blue recycling bin which meant bottles etc had to be left beside the red bin.Overall, we would happily stay again and highly recommend this property ##### Alison P.
