Martinborough. Great wines, good golf


After trying to conquer Mordor, (the Tongariri Crossing) and getting forced back by the weather (couldn’t see a thing) We headed towards Wellington and the ferry along the west coast.
We bypassed via Martinborough. If paradise was half as nice as this, it would be perfect. We found a camp with WIFI, flanked by a vineyard on one side, horses on the other and walking distance away from a golf course. With so many of our favourite activities so close, we decided on staying for two days.
After hitting the local vineyards we heartily recommend MartinBorough Estate Pino Noir 2004 (available in Denmark).
Golf was good, 70 SEK(72 Euro) for two rounds, 2 x golf set and 2 x trolleys. Paul played from the white tee and Pia from yellow (there are no others)
