Stunning location garden setting, farmstead cottage!

We love living on our Lifestyle Property in the beautiful Onamalutu Valley!

Our new cottage is privately situated, overlooking our gardens with lovely views up the valley to Mount Riley and native bird song!

We have easy access to all the wonderful things to do around Blenheim, are 20 mins from town, and only 8 to the Golden Mile!
We wanted to provide a sunny getaway home, whether you want to relax by the river, join us for a BBQ, or sample all the local wines!

The space
Our cottage has a lovely Queen size bedroom, enjoying morning sun, a fully equipped kitchen, wifi, and movies galore on the TV! Beautiful fresh bore water and access to our own river to paddle or swim.

We have lots of local knowledge so we can advise on great places to visit, restaurants, etc.. 40 minutes to Picton Ferry, 25 minutes to Havelock - The Mussel Capital of the World!

Guest access
Parking area is next to the cottage, at the side of our house. Walk & explore the garden, or BBQ :)

Other things to note
Our cottage will very comfortably accommodate two people, couch in lounge converts to double bed for 3rd person. The Cottage has everything you need, whether you are staying for a couple of nights or a month. the cottage opens onto a deck, providing plenty of room to enjoy the views.
The accommodation is self-catering and fully set up for guests to come and go as they please. The pantry includes necessities such as coffee, teas, salt, pepper, olive oil, herbs and other basic condiments.

Relax in the spacious living area where it’s lovely and cosy in both winter and summer. For the colder nights there are panel heaters to keep you snug.

The master bedroom has a new queen bed with luxury mattress for an excellent nights sleep.
We are very convenient to the local centre (Renwick) approx 8 minutes away, there is a Four Square, chemist, gas station, take aways and a couple of pubs!
Please bear in mind we are a rural location :)

Lovely Little Cottage
We had a wonderful time staying at this cottage for two nights while visiting Marlborough and driving up to Abel Tasman. It was cozy and bigger on the inside than expected. Lots of attention to detail and wonderful suggestions laid out from the hosts. They also offered for us to meet the horses which I thought was lovely, we just didn’t end up having the time. Highly recommend!

Idyllic Bach in the countryside
My partner and I had a wonderful stay that exceeded our expectations. The property is clean, cosy, and spacious and as a bonus the dogs were very friendly! We would definitely stay here again if returning to the area.

Beautiful cottage
We loved our two nights here. The cottage is beautifully done, so clean and a very comfortable bed. So nice to get away and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. We felt very welcome and it was lovely to meet the owner and their two dogs were regular visitors. Highly recommend for a getaway!

Pretty spot
Sue and Wayne were very welcoming and the cottage was clean, comfortable and all what we needed. A perfect deck to hang out and the bbq was a great bonus. If there is one thing to comment on, it would be the size of the bathroom. It is on the small size but totally sufficient. We loved the friendly dogs. The location was perfect for us to visit the wineries and Havelock. All just a short drive away. The spot is nicely set back in the valley away from the buzz.

Superb Bach
An excellent Bach in every way. Splendid location. Exceptional accommodation in a most peaceful setting. Sue coped especially well with the shock of our arrival as Bookabach’s confirmation of our booking had not been received! This assumption was supported by Bookabach’s failure to forward my request for route directions leaving me to undertake my own research.
