Denise was so welcoming when we arrived our room was beautiful overlooking the vineyards.mthe location of Aylstone was the best, right next to the Margrain vineyards. We ate on site last night at Cornucopia, what... More

The room adjoining the main house was spacious and tastefully decorated in the French style, all we needed was there, views, lovely outside seating, private courtyard, bliss. My partner was celebrating her 40th birthday and the owners gave her flowers- over and above the call!! Though we were on... More

I feel totally ripped for the $189 we paid. Room 6 is attached to the owners house, and is like staying in someone's spare bedroom. We arrived on a beautiful sunny day. The main frenchdoors did not let in sun and only overlooked a gravel courtyard. The only sun and outlook was at the end of a long passage that... More

We had a lovely and spacious room with all the amenities. Our hosts were very helpful and gracious. The Aylstone is in the middle of several wineries and we had a great dinner just down the road. Breakfasts were delicious. We highly recommend a stay -- we were there 3 days and loved it. Pete and Di -- Houston, TX

We spent one night here as part of our travels through New Zealand and we were delighted with our choice. We overlooked the vines from our room which was very comfortable and well equipped for our stay. We ate in the adjoining restaurant which was also very good and we got a voucher for breakfast in town. We would recommend... More

I traveled throughout New Zealand for 25 days and the Aylstone stands out as a favorite. The owners have put their heart and soul into the property and it shows. I wish I could have stayed longer. The rooms are wonderful. I loved the small town of Martinsborough. I was not able to eat dinner at Aylstone because all of... More

This boutique accommodation lives up to expectations. Lovely setting with welcoming and friendly hosts. We booked the Romantic package and enjoyed sippping champers whilst looking out at the vines. We were hoping for a restful romantic treat and got it!
