    Everything we needed for our stay was in the cottage. Beautifully presented and in a great position, walking distance to a few wineries. Would recommend this cottage for a couple to stay in for a few days.

    We had to leave this lovely place at the end of our stay!!

    Arriving at the cottage felt like arriving home after our trip down the North Island. We had a warm welcome from Liz and everything we needed was provided inside. The cottage is nestled in the vines of the Marlborough Region with lovely views from the outside patio. We wish we'd booked longer and didnt want to leave. Ideal location to visit the Cellar Door wine tasting experiences on foot. Very useful washing machine and washing line!

    What an amazing location, right in amongst the vines on the Golden Mile! We had our own chalet with cooking facilities and lounge with TV. It's the perfect location for exploring all the vineyards in Blenheim. We had such a relaxing time there and even ate in on a couple of nights and sat in the garden as it was such a nice location!

    I'm lost for words here. I'm trying to constructively think of something that could be improved.. but honestly, nothing. This cottage blew me and my fiance away from them moment we got dropped off at the entrance.

    So much. Everything. Beyond expectations and hopes! Every detail is exceptional and this is clearly loved, cared for and respected. Please read on, but just book this place, you've finished your search here. Firstly, this is a cottage literally on the vineyard, you walk down a vine lined driveway to this beautiful cottage off the main road. It's far enough that all you can hear is the many birds singing during the day! The place is immaculate, I cannot stress this enough, I had to double check to see how far the reviews went back, because this cottage looked brand new. It was stunning! The kitchen had all the cutlery and cooking equipment you need, a full sized fridge, the tap water is UV filtered so it was really nice to drink from. Theres a dishwasher and washing machine. The air conditioning unit works quickly and is powerful! The carpet is plush and throughout it feels brand new. The bathroom was spotless and large, the shower is huge! has a large shower head, with a lot of water pressure and a towel warmer! The switches are even labelled, again attention to detail and cared for! There are bath towels, hand towels and face cloths provided and also feel new!! The bedroom, it has lots of room, two wardrobes, a long mirror, ample plugs throughout. The bed is the best bit, its firm and so so comfortable with two pillows on each side. It's a king size bed which is an added bonus. The owners are phenomenal, like none I've ever met, happy to help and communicate prior to arrival, helped to book our train transfer and taxi back out again after our stay, we felt that we could ask them at any point for help and they'd help! We booked a wine tour through them too, Jade Tours, it was the highlight of our trip in Blenheim. The tour is not to be missed! Their recommendations are transparent and genuine. The best bit, the garden.

    Pretty much nothing! Would have been 10/10 apart from the uncooperatve weather!

    We were really looking forward to the three days in 'Marlborough' and selected this stay because of location. Apart from less than perfect weather it was everything we had hoped to find. Facility enabled us to unwind after a hectic few days and being able to do a BBQ rather than eating out again was a real plus. Winery tour was also excellent. We rate lots of things on this trip and this stay is highly placed. In individual category ratings the bath towels are now rated no 1

    Liz & Bob were wonderful hosts. Being in the middle of a beautiful vineyard in the middle of the Malbourough wine region was absolutely wonderful, so close to the Wineries, great restaurants and beautiful views. The accommodation was so warm, clean and comfortable with little extras and touches which made our stay perfect. A self contained unit which was quite modern, very comfortable bed !! Would recommend at least 3-4 nights stay to explore the region.
