Staff were super accommodating of my ridiculously late arrival time - thank you! Clean, comfortable and spacious room, nice touches such as the coffee maker and the good range of toiletries, and even a little roof to protect my bike from the rain. Would definitely stay again.

Excellent place for families who are wine tasting

Excellent find for our stay in Blenheim. We had travelled down from the North Island to meet up with our daughter who had recently moved to NZ. The two bedroom apartment was a good size to accommodate us all. Location is very close to the town and to all the main vineyards ( word of warning: book taxis early as they get very busy during the cellar door opening hours) Flat was lovely and clean and kitchen was well equipped. Laundry was available for use for your own washing . Couple of things ago heed. No aircon but fans are provided and the height of the shower head is not adjustable and is very low. No safe either but as place is occupied 24/7 that wasn’t a problem. Very friendly owner who loved to have a chat made it a real home from home
