Pond Paddock winery is a great place to stay. Just 5 mins out of Martinborough on a quiet road it is a very restful environment, but you do need a car., , There is no TV, but we found that was conducive to a restful place. Bring a good book! The cooking facilities are basic but adequate. The bathroom is fabulous, and the shower is the best ever. The internet was very good and reliable, and the host's request not to stream movies etc was no problem, we could still do anything we needed to do. Simone and Lucie are fabulous hosts and we had some lovely chats with them both, as we are ex-horticulturists ourselves and could talk about the vineyard etc. We would completely recommend this place, and the wonderful hosts. Communication was excellent.
