We waited 1 hour and 10 mins for lunch. Food was excellent but wait was unacceptable and there was no effort to recognise and address our frustration.

Wonderful stay here. Stunning scenery and superb accommodation. Would highly recommend.

Our group of nine had two nights at the Riverside Cottage 4. We are a group of NZers who visit a different part of the country each year.

2 nights here was not enough! We stayed in the Black Barn cottage and just loved it. The service is great, it is very comfortable and is more than they advertise. I highly recommend them. We also had a fantastic lunch at the restaurant. We wish we never had to leave!

We were on a wine tour in Marlborough and met a couple that said we should visit the Black Barn Winery and have lunch there. We took there advice and glad we did. The grounds are beautiful from the moment you drive the road to the cellar door through the grapevines. They have a nice tasting room and the women... More
