Brackenridge Country Retreat & Spa  

In the picturesque countryside of Martinborough, this country retreat & spa aparthotel sits minutes from Palliser Estate and Muirlea Rise and close to Martinborough and Ata Rangi vineyards. It’s an easy 90-minute drive from Wellington and a short spin to local cellar doors and scenic backroads.

Choose from 18 self-contained units—studio rooms, two‑bedroom cottages and four‑bedroom cottages—each with private furnished patios, kitchen facilities and fireplaces in many rooms. Cottages come with continental breakfast provisions for self‑catering and daily housekeeping, so you can kick back and wake up to country‑view mornings.

Unwind at the on‑site day spa with massages, body treatments and facials, then take a dip in the indoor heated saltwater pool or hot spa tub. There’s a fully equipped gym, BBQ area, lobby fireplace, complimentary Wi‑Fi, free self‑parking, laundry and luggage storage—perfect for slow weekends or vineyard-hopping.

Built for events and groups, the property offers a conference centre, four meeting rooms and a purpose‑built function venue with indoor–outdoor flow, verandah and full catering options. Wedding services and event support are available for seamless gatherings.

Start each day with a complimentary continental breakfast served daily (9:00–10:00 AM) and enjoy on‑site dining and catering that showcases local flavours. Cottages include provisions for self‑catering, and the retreat is brilliantly placed for wine‑region meals and cellar‑door pairings.
