“overall lovely”

The cabin was well appointed, lovely breakfast and fresh bread. The host offered advice on a nearby cafe and restaurant, which we took her up on.

Helen gave us great advice about the local cafe and the aviation museum- both were amazing. Stunning location and very cute, well equipped cottage. We loved the heated bathroom floor!!!

“Perfect Location, perfect hosts and amazing accommodation. The place to switch off and chill.”

The location and the view is out of this worlds, just nestled amongst the vines was a great way to spend our wedding anniversary. We will come back for sure, just sitting on the deck watching the sheep running up and down and drinking wine was something else. The accommodation was just perfect with plenty of space for a couple. Helen and Clyde were super helpful and easy to chat with about anything you needed. Parking right next to the cottage made loading and unloading super easy.

“Host was friendly but unfortunately we were there on a windy night in autumn so the acorns were falling on the tin roof”

Beautiful location . Convenient

“This Cottage is a. truly wonderful place, and we will remember our time here very fondly.”

We had a wonderful stay in the beautiful cottage. It this decorated with such taste and attention to detail that the hold place has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Combined with its stunning location it is the perfect place to relax and unwind. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly comfortable and at home here. We would also like to thank our hosts, Helen and Clyde, for their kindness and support. Their friendlyness and Helpfullness made our stay even more special.

“An experience I’ll never forget. A beautiful place.”

Superb location, a great host, and breakfast (provided by way of fresh fruit, cereal and bread) of a quality befitting a 5 star residence.

“Fabulous accommodation in a wonderful setting*”

The accommodation was in a fantastic location with beautiful views. The indoor space was spotlessly clean and extremely well appointed. Helen was a superb host, giving great advice on where to visit.

Perfect host, location and property

Just everything.

“I could stay here for ever”

Everything! One of the best places we've ever stayed at. Beautifully designed and spacious modern cottage with a sunny deck overlooking the vines. Wonderful hosts who make wonderful wines. All perfect.

“This is a magical place to stay and we cannot recommend it highly enough. You would be very lucky to stay here.”

The cottages are so beautiful and have absolutely everything you need and so much more

“Best Stay on Our New Zealand Trip!”

Absolutely the best stay on our New Zealand trip! Walnut Block Cottages is stunning, with beautiful cottages, a wonderful breakfast, and a complimentary bottle of delicious wine. We loved relaxing on the terrace with fresh bread, cheese, and wine in the evenings. Super convenient location, perfect for trips to Kaikōura and Milford Sound. Highly recommended – a true gem!

“Walnut Block Cottages”

My husband and I loved everything about Walnut Block Cottage 1. The location is perfect both in terms of its close proximity to Blenheim CBD, the vineyards and only 30 minutes to the seaside village of Picton, as well as the properties own outlook on its vineyard and the walnut tree from which it gets its name. The cottage itself has everything you need, is roomy and tastefully decorated. The kitchen is well fitted out and we were very appreciative of the breakfast items left for us to enjoy. The deck has a table and chairs, where we enjoyed sharing a bottle of Walnut Cottage Sauvignon Blanc as we ate dinner ( it was so lovely out there, that we cancelled our dinner booking and opted for a take away from the same place, so we could enjoy the view and watch the sunset). We were also very appreciative of how accomodating Helen was in letting us drop our bags off early. Our only regret was that we didn't book a longer stay.

Excellent breakfast, friendly and helpful owners, lovely surroundings.

“Brilliant 3 night stay on our NZ holiday”

Beautiful cottage looking over vineyard and mountains. Very spacious, comfortable and well equipped.

“Perfect getaway.”

Helen provided an excellent continental breakfast more than enough to satisfy. Very peaceful location. Handy to many wineries and restaurants. We just loved the cottages, waking up to grapevines and mountains in the distance was heaven.

“Lovely stay at a clean, spacious cottage with spectacular views over the vinyards”

Both the cottage and the views were amazing. The breakfast supplies provided in the cottage were really good - especially the sourdough bread! The host was helpful telling us useful information on the surroundings.

“Excellent”
