Spent 3 days at Eileen's and Jes' lovely country house and enjoyed their hospitality. I own a bed and breakfast and really appreciate other professional innkeepers. These two do it really effortlessly and well. They have a comfortable, older home in a small vineyard, a short distance off the main highway yet just far enough away. We stayed in the... More

Stayed for 2 nights - excellent hosts, fantastic food. Highly recommended. More

This B&B is situated off the main road in the middle of vineyards and surrounded by orchards, flowers and lawns. We stayed in the Sauvignon Suite which had a balcony overlooking the vineyard. This room was big enough to sleep a family of 3 as it had a twin bed in the tv room. The hosts were very friendly and... More

In a month travelling around New Zealand, staying in B&Bs, this was one of the two very best we found. The setting is beautiful, tucked in the valley and surrounded by acres of vines from which hosts Jes and Eileen make their own wine. Indeed, so much of what you enjoy here is produced on the premises – jams and... More
