Make your way down to Palmerston North.  On the outskirts of Palmerston North take Highway 3 to Woodville.  From Woodville take Highway 2 down to Greytown.  At the southern end of Greytown (just on the outskirts) there is a sign on the left hand side of the road directing you to Martinborough.  From Martinborough use the map/directions provided in the maps/location section of our website.

A full refund is given if 28 days notice is given.  If notice is given within 2 weeks of arrival date the refund is non-refundable but transferable to another date.
