Loved The Wine Country
The stay in this house was very nice. It’s very peaceful in the vineyards. We were comfortable here. We enjoyed hiking around the area and doing a wine/bike tour with an added bike trip on Northbank Road.

Serene location nestled in the vineyard
This was our home base for 4 days of exploring the area. Wine tour picked us up at your driveway and dropped off on Jones road. We made a journey to Kaikōura trekked around at the seal colony with a stop at a great food truck. Ended with a Picton tour, great.

Tranquil location, convenient to attractions.
Lovely home, immaculate with many amenities and wonderful quiet, scenic location. Kitchen a bit quirky with sink in the attached bathroom but you get used to it, and we cooked our meals and did just fine with the arrangement.Lovely, generous hosts.

Heart of the Vines
The property is okay but has some odd features such as the kitchen sink being in the bathroom, noisy latches instead of handles on the doors and inadequate lighting. When we stayed the main bedroom door was very squeaky but we left a note for the owners so hopefully the hinges have now been oiled.

Perfect to Enjoy 100% Marlborough experience
Very comfortable and convenient. Country home feeling.Of course car needed as it is located in the heart of the vines, 10 minutes from Blenheim town center.A great location both to relax on the spot and/or to tour the whole Marlborough region ( vineyards/wine cellar doors, st Arnaud mountains, Sounds-Queen Charlotte- Picton- , white beach etc ). Hosts very welcoming and very helpfull.

Excellent location and very quiet
Lovely location, tucked away in Grovetown. Owners house is on the same site about 50 metres away. Very tidy and in excellent condition. Bach is not the building in the photo, but a part of the bottom floor - doesn't have a kitchen as such - just bench. So cooking is plug in electic hob and bench oven. No water in kitchen, so food, washing is all to be done in thebasin in bathroom next to the toilet - which is a bit of a pain if people are in the bathroom.
