Brilliant host, beautiful accommodation

Exceptional boutique hotel - themed rooms and bathroom - comfortable house with excellent host. Dinner is by request but it is sumptuous - Rachel is a wonderful and creative chef. Martinborough is a lovely town - small and flatland with numerous restaurants, bars, shops and surrounded by many enjoyable vineyards. Olive Oil groves are nearby too.

True indulgence at Martinborough

The owner "Rachel", she is an amazing chef!! We never expected to have such a gourmet breakfast. Her homemade dates scone was excellent. Also I loved the home-made granola. Actually every single meal which she prepared for us was incredible. She offered four course diner but sorry we missed it. The coronial room was so nice and cute. It was really comfortable to stay-Thank you Rachel!

Attn all food lovers - here is a happy place

From the warm welcome to the leisurely conversations and snacks, it was more like staying with a new friend who lived to cook than a one night hotel transaction. The optional four-course meal (advance notice needed) and hands on pasta making (brilliant on a wet day) are strongly recommended. Planning our next visit already.

Wonderful place to stay, hostess with the mostest.

We loved our time at Prodigal Daughter Goirmet Lodge. The individual room was very homely, not your average hotel, guest house. Rachel the host is wonderful and will do everything require to ensure you have A great time exploring Martinborough and surrounds. We loved the complimentary glass of wine at 5pm as well as the picnic basket She prepared, packed full of flavour, for our walk and picnic. We also enjoyed a wonderful gourmet meal one night prepared and served by Rachel who really is the hostess with the mostest.

Romantic weekend stay

The hostess is very hospitable! The 5pm drinks and canapes are a delightful touch, and do yourselves a favour by booking in for a meal as well. They do a 4 course meal for a set price and it was divine! The bed was comfortable and the room cozy. This is an excellent choice for a couple's getaway, highly recommended.

Property is an old house that retains a lot of character. Good location, close to town and its facilities and activities for the area. Rachel is a great hostess, arranging things for us such as winery visits, bike rentals and meal reservations. She is also a terrific cook who provides her guests with first rate meals on request.
