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

A wonderful place to stay

Check in was very relaxed and straight forward. Our host was extremely friendly and helpful, he couldn’t do enough for us to make our stay perfect. Keen to share his local knowledge of the best place to go when we needed to purchase something. Our room had everything that you could need. We would have no hesitation in staying again if we were in the area.

Excellent room

The room was spacious and well equipped. Excellent shower and nice toiletries. The host Simon was friendly and very helpful. Parking right outside the room. The area is commercial but very well located for walking into town and for the wine trail . Some traffic noise from the main road.

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!
