I had an amazing experience here, everything was amazing, the location was quiet close to beautiful rose garden, and Blenheim and the Marlborough Wine Country. The room was quiet and wonderful with dryers, a shower cap, and fresh towels in the private bathroom.

Waking up to birdsong and a delicious tray of scrambled eggs delivered to our cabin was a good surprise. Although the pool was unavailable, the serene surroundings and comfortable amenities made our visit lovely. we highly recommend this retreat.

The cabins were cozy and peaceful, perfect for a city break. The hosts were friendly and went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable, offering us bikes to cycle in the surrounding area and serving us a delicious breakfast with fresh eggs. The location was quiet and private, away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
There were no negative aspects during our stay, everything was exceptional. However, keep in mind that the location is a bit outside of town, so if you are looking to be in the city center, this may not be the best option for you.

the hosts were beyond welcoming and they made our stay wonderful. We enjoyed the peaceful setting with views of animals roaming free. the room was spacious and comfortable, with an amazing bathroom walk-in shower! the cottage was decorated with interesting themes that highlighted the host's creativity. Plus, the location was great, with easy access to popular attractions in the area.
We couldn't have asked for a better experience.
