A tranquil olive grove setting, an expansive country villa with indoor / outdoor flow and room for an active family lifestyle drew holiday homeowner Kristin Davis to the Olive Estate at Martinborough.

Only an hour away from their Wellington home, Kristin enjoys the weekend breaks which allow her to leave the everyday chores behind. “It’s a lifestyle property so it allows our kids to have quad bikes and enjoy having the open outdoors space. I love looking out from the house — it has such lovely peaceful surroundings — and we love Martinborough as a place.”
The Olive Estate is a substantial country villa, only minutes from the wine village of Martinborough but tucked away down an avenue of mature trees on a private 4-hectare block planted with olives and grape vines. There’s a distinctly European feel about the grounds and the house, a stylish 2-storey, 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom home with spacious living areas that can easily accommodate eight guests. Casual outdoor living spaces include a vine covered pergola, an area with an outdoor fireplace, bbq and expansive lawns. The house is part of a gated community and guests are able to use the common tennis court.
The holiday home is an ideal weekend destination for families and celebrations so it made sense to rent the house out when it was empty. It also made good sense to have Bachcare looking after the property, keeping it in tip top condition for guests and owners alike.
Kristin has been impressed by the consistently high standard of care provided by Bachcare: “They really go the extra mile and keep the house looking lovely. Our local manager is a huge asset, very hands-on and helpful.”
Above all, Kristin is a big fan of the hands-off approach that comes with having Bachcare looking after her holiday home rental: “It’s just easy. I don’t have to think about anything.”
