Absolutely fabulous! Set in several acres of beautiful countryside. We stayed in two of the 2 bed cottages as there were 5 of us which gave us more than enough space. The cottages are fully equipped and beautifully furnished - I love the fact that there are photos of where the kitchen equipment belongs, breakfast is provided to make yourself (basket of eggs, sliced sourdough in the freezer, refillable jars of cornflakes and museli etc..), oodles of fluffy towels and a washing machine/dryer to keep up to date with the essentials. The staff are really friendly and the surroundings are simply serene - we sat for hours listening to bird song and taking in the calm atmosphere. It's great for watching the stars at night too as there is very little light pollution. Martinborough is a lovely town and only a mile or so down the road. Cannot recommend this beautiful place highly enough.

It's in a stunning location, and the property is very tidy. However, the house keeping did not clean our room despite the fact that we went out of the room around 11:00 AM and came back to find out room still messy.

The cottages were delightful - lots of space, airy and comfortable, as 5 adults we didn't feel crowded/on top of each other at all. We didn't have time to partake in the lovely breakfast items left for us in the kitchen but it looked great. Pool was a welcome feature in summer and aircon in the gym ideal. Excellent location even if you do really need to drive (or e-bike) into the township/to the wineries.

A quiet retreat just outside the town - easily accessible to everything Martinburough offers including the excellent wineries in the region. Accommodations were lovely and very comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast options left in the room. The fitness area was great also - well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed our stay.

We loved the country feel. Nice and quiet, close to town. We were expecting breakfast every morning but were only left with one mornings supplies. We also had to get our own kindling wood for the fireplace.

Hi Nicole,Thanks so much for your review, we are glad you had a good stay! In your room are breakfast supplies for the following morning and then you are able to contact reception to get top ups throughout your stay (this is mentioned in our welcome letter). We do this to try and minimise food waste.Fireplaces are serviced during winter months, but again kindling can be picked up from reception. Thanks so much and hope we see you again soon!

Nice, but not luxury
Nice spot, more rustic than luxury but comfortable once we got the heatpump cranking and the underfloor heating on in the bathrooms. Beds were very comfortable , shower had excellent pressure but TV needs an update and the bathrooms/kitchen need to be modernised a bit. Having stayed at other “luxury” properties in Martinborough this one didn’t really hit the same mark but was nice enough.

Hi Alana. Thank you for your review. We are presently painting the inside of all the Studios and the TV's are also on the list of upgrades. We agree that Brackenridge is more of a Country Retreat than luxury accommodation. We do not advertise as a luxury accommodation. Hope to see you again soon. Kind regards The Brackenridge Team

Everything including colour and general repair of fittings and fixtures. TV very dated. Edges of kitchen cabinetry née painting and the black mould could be dealt with. Overall it was clean and tidy. The cane chairs aren’t particularly comfortable to sit I.

We had a lovey time, and overall the property was nice, but it was just let down in a few ways, there were very dirty oven trays in the oven from previous guests. There were sticky marks on the walls and ceiling, from a previous guests, drink? perhaps. which led to a feeling that the cottage was not well cleaned. Otherwise it was a beautiful setting and very comfortable.

The wording used in the note left regarding having a dog in the approved dog friendly unit and the threat of a $100 fine for any hair found on furnishing was unnecessary and very harsh and upsetting. Totally unnecessary.
Séjour de 1 nuit en avril 2023
Réponse de Courtnay le 28 avr. 2023
Hi Christina,Our wording on the dog pack is as follows "Please note if dog mess is left on the lawn or hairs in furniture there will be an extra charge of 100"I'm sorry you felt this was harsh - but we have unfortunately had bad experiences with this in the past. We would love to continue being a dog friendly accommodation option - so we have included this to make sure there is some responsibility taken by dog owners.

Misleading to list pool and gym
Overall disappointing stay, they allow locals a membership to pool and gym and we were told don't disturb the members, get out of pool if a member is using it, kids aren't allowed to swim as it may disturb a member - ridiculous, I have never ever come across this. I paid more for 2 nights stay than a member does for a year. Apart from this one of our toilets was broken, ours was 'the only' cottage without laundry, guest laundry was broken also, power outage meant cold showers last day, mold/mildew on windows. Overall cottage large and comfortable, great setting near farm, kids loved running outside. A more accurate listing would have overcome most of our disappointment.

Set in the country outside Martinborough - 3G only. Not suitable for business travellers. You can get 4G by driving to Martinborough (6 min) or Greytown (20 min). Nice lap pool, but no pool towels, and a shortage of toilet paper in the ladies’ changing room - and the spa was closed from when I arrived on Saturday afternoon until an hour before my check-out on Tuesday. There was a wedding reception on the Saturday evening - I was told I would hear nothing but the band was very loud. The cottages are all rustic charm but there were small maintenance issues that needed attending to, such as the broken remote on the DVD player. Breakfast was DIY. But the kitchen accessories were fine (a china teapot!) and there was a well-equipped laundry. Great night sky observing when the cloud cleared.
