This is a beautiful home surrounded by vineyards, quiet, and an approximately 10 min. drive into town. Sandra was very helpful with us trying to get an alternate plan to get across to the north island when the ferry had cancelled. Spectacular views and wonderful hosts. You can’t go wrong!

Beautiful accomodation, both inside and out. The property is lovely, private and well maintained. Location to Blenheim, and surroundings, is perfect. Sandra made us feel very welcome and gave us plenty of helpful tips for the area, many of which we took and enjoyed. Would give 10 stars if possible.
