We enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very helpful and we were comfortable. Great sleeps in a very comfortable bed. Thanks to Sylvia and her family for their hospitality.

Overall a nice stay. Keep in mind this is a room in someone’s home. The bathroom is private use but not en-suite. It is in a hallway adjacent to the front entrance. Since VRBO markets listings as having the entire place to yourself this is not the case. If you are ok with the above I would not hesitate to recommend
My wife and I went up to Marlborough for just an overnight visit to some vineyards, and Sylvia's was the perfect choice for our stay. Clean & comfy room, convenient, beautiful views, easy in/easy out, and our host was terrific - friendly and a good communicator throughout the whole process. Thanks for a very nice visit!
This was great - a bedroom and bathroom in a beautiful house with magnificent views with the friendliest hosts we have ever had. Nice touches like a nespresso coffee maker in the room.
Road trip from Christchurch. Drove from Kaikoura great to access Molesworth Station. Pleased to be in all wheel drive car up the steep, gravel driveway.
Excellent Host, very polite and lovely adult children. Very clean and pleasant surroundings. Highly recommend. Views of Wineries, Hills and Oceans were amazing. Thankyou
Steep climb to a hill top over-looking hills, valleys, vineyards and ocean; hard to beat!. Room was part of main house with bathroom in hallway next to room, not quite an en-suite. There as also access directly from outdoors. A few more dishes and utensils would have been appreciated.
Sylvia was very friendly. I highly recommend.
