The “Lismore barn” is a rustic self catered luxury holiday home . Situated within the beautiful town of Martinborough and overlooking the vineyard the Lismore barn awaits you. The Lismore barn offers contemporary home comforts and is lovingly styled throughout. Relax in the claw foot bath overlooking the vines or snuggle up on one of the chesterfields with a glass of wine and watch the sun set. Situated on a private road we are perfectly positioned for guests to explore the vineyards or the restaurants and cafes of Martinborough. The best way to get a feel for this unique space is to peruse the picture gallery. If you have any questions feel free to ask!

Dan is originally from Yorkshire & Mary from the Tora coast. We returned back to NZ after being on the expat merry-go-round for the last 25 years in Singapore, India, HK, Germany & Japan and feel very lucky now to be based in the beautiful Wairarapa.

Bring your appetite to Martinborough, where Pinot Noir and excellent restaurants promise to ease you into a very happy state of mind. Packed with colonial charm, Martinborough features over 20 wineries, most within cycling and walking distance of the quaint village square. Some of New Zealand’s best pinot noir comes from the town’s predominately family-owned vineyards, so it’s not surprising it is a key stop on the Classic New Zealand Wine Trail. Guided wine tours including Tranzit Tours’ daily Martinborough Gourmet Wine Tour are available as are self-guided cycling tours. Several bike hire companies can be found in the village and you can pick up a map from the local visitors centre.
