Awesome experience!

Such a great choice for my stay!! The owner, Simon, picked me up at the train station. My room had a little balcony, which was perfect for the additional room service breakfast. TV with Sky was the easiest to operate. And they even have punched coffee--not the instant crap you find in most hotels. Nothing fancy here, but the service is a big wow! Highly recommend!

Beautifully presented room with lovely toiletries and coffee machine and choice of teas etc. The only thing that wasn’t perfect in the room was the tiny bathroom sink! The road it is on was quite noisy and closing the windows didn’t help much!

Excellent place for families who are wine tasting

Excellent find for our stay in Blenheim. We had travelled down from the North Island to meet up with our daughter who had recently moved to NZ. The two bedroom apartment was a good size to accommodate us all. Location is very close to the town and to all the main vineyards ( word of warning: book taxis early as they get very busy during the cellar door opening hours) Flat was lovely and clean and kitchen was well equipped. Laundry was available for use for your own washing . Couple of things ago heed. No aircon but fans are provided and the height of the shower head is not adjustable and is very low. No safe either but as place is occupied 24/7 that wasn’t a problem. Very friendly owner who loved to have a chat made it a real home from home
