We were booked for three nights but stranded in Wellington for one of the nights due to a 'weather bomb' that cancelled all ferry sailings. When we finally arrived the sun came out and we settled into a wonderful cottage literally in the vineyard. We were looking for lunch and invited to traipse through the vines to a neighboring vineyard... More

These beautifully appointed cottages are set at the edge of the vineyard, so the amazing view from the terrace is of row upon row of vines. The two cottages are very well designed, spacious inside and each with a terrace to sit on and sample the wines. Provisions for a breakfast are provided in the superbly fitted kitchen, and one...

Stayed here in January 2011 as part of our month long honeymoon in New Zealand. Blenheim was one of my favourite areas of the South Island, partially because staying at Walnut Block was just so utterly relaxing! The cottages really do face onto the vineyard and we spent a couple of tipsy evenings cooking on the BBQ and drinking local... More

These two cottages are located among the grape vines of Walnut Block vineyard resulting in stunning views and your own private vineyard to explore. The cottage interior is modern, spacious with really nice finishes. Each cottage has a full kitchen and outdoor grill so you can cook and enjoy your favorite wine from the region. We only stayed 2 nights... More

My wife and I stopped here for 2 nights after touring the amazing South Island for 2 weeks. Perfect location to wind down - among the vines but also close to the town centre. Breakfast provisions provided and the estate wine for sale which is excellent - didn't move the car for 2 days! More

Perfect for 2 adults wanting a bit of R&R after driving around NZ for 2 weeks. Definitely a different view from staying at home! Loved being able to see all the birdlife, rabbits hopping out from...

We stayed at the cottages for three days as part of our three week trip around the south island. I couldn't think of a better location to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary...wish we could have stayed longer. From the moment you arrive you are made to feel welcome with a personal message to let yourself in. Attention to detail is... More

What a piece of paradise this place is. Luxurious linens, generous B&B provisions and wine on tap... we absolutely loved it. An unassuming cabin from the outside, inside underfloor heating and the best shower in NZ. One night just wasn't long enough to experience it - two nights definately recommended. The added bonus is cooking facilities and a BBQ. There's... More

Fantastic and Relaxing and pure luxury at an affordable price. Great view over the wine fields and the cottage has everything we could wish for. More
