“Surrounded by vineyards”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 9, 2013

Such a lovely setting to relax - do a wine tour - come back and relax some - then go on to more scenic driving. Lovely grounds - a few farm animals around - a tennis court etc. We stayed in the shearers quarters - a bit of a basic cottage - but you are away from any other traveler - so you can relax on your own.

“Superb”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 3, 2013 via mobile

Excellent place to stay. We stayed in Anna's cottage. Very peaceful and private overlooking the vineyards watching the sun set. Hosts are superb and even gave us a lift back to the airport and helped us to check in early, very accommodating.
We stayed two nights and can't fault the place, excellent location as close to Blenheim and the wineries. They have good quality bikes to use which saves a lot of money in renting them if you choose to see the vineyards this way, which we can thoroughly recommend. Excellent pool for cooling down afterwards too.

Beautiful place, excellent hosts, very peaceful and private. One of the better places you can stay in NZ don't bother with Motels

“Just perfect!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 14, 2013

I can't believe that no-one has reviewed this little gem in a year. A completely simple but totally charming retreat: just the place to chill after a rush of sightseeing.
We stayed at the Stables overlooking the lemon orchard and visited by chickens, sheep and deer.

“Gorgeous place next to world's famous wineries!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 10, 2013

We stayed for two nights at the Shearers Quarters cottage, which is one of the smaller and less expensive ones. We enjoyed ourselves tremendously as the entire property is absolutely beautiful, countryside with lots of trees, flowers and surrounded by vineyards. Every cottage is very private, nicely separated from other cottages (except for the Old Diary which is just next to the Hosts' house and main arrival area. You can enjoy peacefulness of the lovely Marlborough region, have breakfasts in the garden ( worth mentioning that the owners provide fresh, free range eggs from their own farm, some milk, juice, toasts and jams), have a swim in the little swimming pool, play boules or interact with the animals on the farm. The owners are very nice and helpful yet allow you to enjoy your privacy. Our cottage was well appointed, had a shower, all toiletries, dryer, iron kitchenette with an electric stove, microwave, fridge, tv etc. internet is available but works best next to the main building but did not work so great in our cottage. Although this doesn't bother you when you can relax in such a beautiful place. All the Marlborough vineyards are nearby, short ride on the bike away with the renowned Cloudy Bay Winery being the closest one. Definitely check other great vineyards nearby as each one is different. The ones we liked the most were Rock Ferry, Giesen, Nautilus and Huia. Great place!

“Nice place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

We stayed there 4 nights on our Honeymoon. This had been our first B&B experience. They were great they did leave you to your own devices and let you entertain yourself. If you need any help they are more than happy. We needed a lift to the Airport to pick up our rental car. The owner drove us there to pick it up. It was great.
