Amazing stay

Property was perfect for a large family group of adults and children. Kitchen spacious, rooms well spaced to give everyone their own area, outdoor area safe & great for children’s play. We loved the location - close to lots of wineries and just out of town. Peaceful, clean and a treat for a family getaway.

Eveline our Host was truly amazing, she was someone you would want to mage your property.

Beautify property and is a MUST book if you are heading down there. Perfect for large or small family's. the setting is second to none on a beautiful site amongst the wines yards and back drop of the ranges. in-spite of the inclement weather the place made up for everything. Will certainly be booking this in the near future. Thanks to the Owners who have maintained this property to the highest standards.

Great house, Great Location!!

We were a group of 7 staying for a weekend away. The house suited us perfectly, it had enough space for everyone and the location was fantastic for our itinerary. Eveline (the Property Manager) was great and even organised more wood for the fire when we ran low. We would definitely be looking to rebook this house for our next trip away to Blenhiem.
