Great solo stay

The property is a great option for solo travelers or couples looking for a quiet place to stay in the area. The unit is compact - like a tiny house - but it’s well thought out, comfortable and thoughtfully appointed. Jax and Rob were great hosts and went above and beyond to make sure I had a fantastic stay. I would stay again during a future visit.

Great little air B&B in quiet area of Blenheim close to everything

fabulous host, lots of communication. The B&b is as described, very compact with a lovely patio with hammock, chairs table and loveseat. Inside host has supplied everything we could imagine. Huge bathroom with great water pressure , well equipped kitchen. Couch , tv …. Bedroom is upstairs and very compact, we loved it.. stairs are quite steep for anyone with mobility issues may be a challenge Area was super quiet at night. We visited many wineries just 10-15 min tops by car. Downtown is nice to walk. Host was amazing helping us with transportation. With fixing a few issues with some other plans we had and giving us great ideas for restaurants (Raupo) is a must! Was great 3 days!

Wouldnt recommend

Initial communication with host was great.However our 3 day stay turned sour when we were chastised for not leaving windows open even when we weren't home. And then told off for not opening blinds to the correct height. Apartment was definitely tiny. The bed is only accessible on one side. And our 2nd suitcase had to stay in the bathroom, clogging that up.And with no fly screens, the windows open rule then meant we had to deal with insects in the bedroom whilst trying to sleep in what was already an uncomfortably hot upstairs room.

Wonderful, Relaxing, Rejuvenating and Peaceful

I booked my stay at 2 Kiwis on Ward for some much needed Rest and Relaxation and wasn't disappointed. Jax my host is kind, caring and warm hearted and provides a service and space that is second to none. Wonderful little touches all round, from the breakfast supplies, toiletries, entertainment ( DVD's and a selection of reading materials ) and the beautiful private outdoor area. 2 Kiwis on Ward had it all. Jax was friendly, helpful and spent time talking with me and making both myself and my Fur Baby JoJo welcome. Her own Fur Baby Teddy is a delight and a cuddly little guy who made every morning a pleasant start to the day. The BnB was warm and cozy, the bed super snuggly, and the Duvet that perfect combination of warm and weighted just right. I have had the most lovely stay and would most certainly be happy to book and come stay again. Thank you Jax and Teddy Bear for a great break away.

Rustic tiny house

This is definitely a rustic tiny space which has been constructed with rustic materials although the bathroom was very good and shower had great water pressure. The stairs to the upstairs bed are narrow and steep and the bed's pushed up against the wall but the bed was comfortable. The outdoor courtyard is very quaint and private. Cooking is limited to a microwave and electric frypan.

This is a given !!!

Stayed two nights, once heading South and again heading North. Fabulous property, quiet and tranquil. Jax & Rob fantastic hosts, nothing is a problem. I didn't realise I had to stipulate we had two dogs, because I thought being dog friendly, that is why you would book it. But Jax was very forgiving about the lack of notification - like I said, nothing is a problem and that is why it is a definite re-visit. Thanks Mr Teddy Bear (Jax's dog) who is exactly as his name suggests. Book it yourself and have the same awesome experience we had - relaxing and fun.

About the host

Hosted by Jacqueline (Jax) Skinner

Host profile image
My partner and I are in our fifties and love our little piece of paradise here in Blenheim. We have a gorgeous friendly wee dog named Teddy bear. We are very relaxed and want our quests to enjoy the complete privacy that we provide.

Why they chose this property

Private and secluded, 8 minutes walk to town centre. Feels like like middle earth! Fabulous local cuisine and the world's best wines.........What more could you ask for!!!

What makes this property unique

My property is unique because it has been thoughtfully designed with a super high 11 foot ceiling to achieve the definite impression of a larger space. Brilliant and clever! The Tiny 60m3 cottage has a beautiful fresh bathroom fully tiled.
Finished off nicely with the most private, secluded and relaxing fully fenced courtyard.
