The beautiful town of Picton is a 25 minute drive away, the gateway to the picturesque Marlborough Sounds. Explore the local vineyards, restaurants, rivers, fishing and hunting.

The property is okay but has some odd features such as the kitchen sink being in the bathroom, noisy latches instead of handles on the doors and inadequate lighting. When we stayed the main bedroom door was very squeaky but we left a note for the owners so hopefully the hinges have now been oiled.

Serene location nestled in the vineyard
This was our home base for 4 days of exploring the area. Wine tour picked us up at your driveway and dropped off on Jones road. We made a journey to Kaikōura trekked around at the seal colony with a stop at a great food truck. Ended with a Picton tour, great.

Loved The Wine Country
The stay in this house was very nice. It’s very peaceful in the vineyards. We were comfortable here. We enjoyed hiking around the area and doing a wine/bike tour with an added bike trip on Northbank Road.

Tranquil location, convenient to attractions.
Lovely home, immaculate with many amenities and wonderful quiet, scenic location. Kitchen a bit quirky with sink in the attached bathroom but you get used to it, and we cooked our meals and did just fine with the arrangement.Lovely, generous hosts.

Excellent location and very quiet
Lovely location, tucked away in Grovetown. Owners house is on the same site about 50 metres away. Very tidy and in excellent condition. Bach is not the building in the photo, but a part of the bottom floor - doesn't have a kitchen as such - just bench. So cooking is plug in electic hob and bench oven. No water in kitchen, so food, washing is all to be done in thebasin in bathroom next to the toilet - which is a bit of a pain if people are in the bathroom.

Perfect to Enjoy 100% Marlborough experience
Very comfortable and convenient. Country home feeling.Of course car needed as it is located in the heart of the vines, 10 minutes from Blenheim town center.A great location both to relax on the spot and/or to tour the whole Marlborough region ( vineyards/wine cellar doors, st Arnaud mountains, Sounds-Queen Charlotte- Picton- , white beach etc ). Hosts very welcoming and very helpfull.

Wonderful location on a vineyard and in amongst a number of nearby vineyards. The property itself is spacious and all the amenities are of a high quality. Comfortable living with amazing views each morning and evening. Just 10 minutes from Blenheim town and 20 minutes from Renwick. Overall highly recommended

Lovely peaceful hideaway
Very nice and clean accommodation, situated away from the town centre. Relaxing setting amongst the vines. Most necessities were there and a heater would have been perfect in the lounge area as the weather got a bit cooler in the evenings. No issues with check-in/out process and owners were responsive and accommodating. Overall, a great weekend enjoying what the region had to offer.

A great 2 night stay
Spacious house, completely separate from the owners. Beautiful views of vineyard. We made use of the kitchen and laundry and everything worked great. When we booked, we asked about the possibility of arranging bikes but the owner never responded. When we checked in, they were confused about our arrival date (they thought we were arriving the following day) but it didn't actually matter since the place was entirely clean and ready (luckily).
