“Fabulous stay in a lovely property looking over Vineyards.”
We booked the 2 bedroom 2 bathroom stables ( number 6) which had a king bedroom upstairs with ensuite shower and spa bath , & a downstairs king bedroom with ensuite shower. The semi detached house is just lovely , set in a private complex of houses looking over the Vineyards. The manager at reception was helpful regarding our stay & @ the area ; and explained where recycling place is onsite for when we checked out ( to dispose our recycling items we use ). The kitchen is very well equipped with coffee machine , dishwasher, large cupboard larder, lots cooking utensils , and a separate utility room with washing machine & tumble dryer. TV had access to Netflix ( if you are a member of Netflix & use it just remember to sign out on the tv !). Open-plan Kitchen / diner / lounge is very comfortable , with patio doors onto small lawn area with gas barbecue and outdoor seating & table . Great views across to Vineyard. We loved our stay , so relaxing. Location in the middle of all the famous Marlborough Vineyards , and 5 mins walk down road to the Wairu Vineyard Estate , " number 11 " restaurant and wine tasting. Food here was incredible and we paid for the wine tasting experience as extra - good value. Looking forward to coming back to Vintners Retreat next time we return to NZ.

“Spacious cottage but make sure you select one back from the main road”
So spacious - a whole three bedroom cottage just for us. Made coming home difficult as we don't each have our own dressing room. Great location for wine tours.

Location is perfect for visiting the wine farms. Nice to be away from the main town on Blenheim, but Blenheim is still easily accessible. You need a car.

We had thought the hot tub was included in the price but it was a good deal extra and didn't really warrant the cost as it was not a great experience and then made the cost of the accommodation expensive
