Butterfly Cottage Martinborough

Less than a ten minute (600m) walk to the Square, Butterfly Cottage is a picture-book late 1800s small house.

The cottage is steeped in the history of Martinborough. It was once a hairdresser’s shop, then a residence, located on the edge of The Square. It was relocated to Malcolm Street in the early 20th century, when it became a family home for many decades.

It’s a cosy, peaceful little two bedroom cottage on a quiet street. The perfect place to come home to after a day exploring everything Martinborough and the Wairarapa region has to offer.

The cottage is a charming old, mostly unchanged home from early Martinborough.

Parking is right in front of the cottage on the gravel area. There is room for two small or one large vehicle.

The cottage is kept cosy and comfortable by a heat pump/air conditioner in the lounge. Entertainment available with wifi, Bluetooth speaker/radio, Netflix, Prime, Freeview and Chromecast. There is a comfy, large two seater leather couch and two fabric armchairs. There are plenty of books to read and a few board games in the hutch.

There’s a small kitchen with everything you need, including a Nespresso machine, fridge freezer, stove and fold out dining table for the compact dining area.

The main bedroom has a superbly comfortable, firm, super-king bed and French doors which open out onto a deck - perfect for breakfast or for a relaxing glass of famous Martinborough pinot noir. The second bedroom has a firm queen sized bed and an original decorative fireplace.

The bathroom has a roll top bath with shower over bath.

No laundry facilities are available at the cottage but there is a laundromat at the local BP service station.

***The cottage is very, very old and not overly modernised. The floors slope slightly and some of the floorboards are creaky and can be a little uneven. We think it’s all part of Butterfly Cottage’s charm but if you’re a little unsteady in your feet, this wee cottage might not be the best fit for you.
