The rooms were clean and spacious. We appreciated the aircon in the 31degrees heat. The bed was comfy and loved the shady balcony-except the view was not over a vineyard as we were led to believe. There was no vineyard view from the unit until you opened the door to the driveway. Location is good-not too far from Martinborough and several wineries. For the price paid we expected more. The office staff were less than helpful making us wait some time before acknowledging our presence. At check out time we were really surprised to see the office didn't open until 10am so no-one was available to acknowledge our departure and receive any feed back that we had. Privacy was compromised by the large window in the lounge which required the blind to be pulled down. With no edge to the shower, water flowed out over the floor of the bathroom-a non-slip mat was offered but wasn't in the bathroom-on having the first shower didn't realize until too late the water flow problem. No extractor fan either. No effort put in to breakfast it was really basic - as we would expect from budget accommodation. However the drink selection was good - appreciated the variety of teas. The fridge was tiny and there was no way of heating any food. Expected more from a 'villa' and the price we paid. The terminology 'villa' suggests fully equipped similar to a motel unit, but they are basically poorly designed tin shed hotel rooms, with an attempt at some architectural features using cheap looking chip board.
