In the Heart of the Vines
Nestled amongst a small operational vineyard just 7 minutes from town in the lower Wairau region lies this unique 2 bedroom home. What makes this property unique is the English barn style look and quality of the build, built by your host. Located near by is the local rowing club with a small boat ramp convenient for water skiing, jet skiing and kayaking. 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.

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.

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

We opted for a bit of quite out of town and weren't dissapointed. It was a lovely peaceful stay even if only for a couple of nights. Thanks to our hosts for helping out when we couldn't figure out the cook top.

Although a little bit of a drive from any shops etc, the setting of this property is lovely. We found the 'barn" roomy and the facilities were great. The bathroom was spacious and very modern. A great outlook made our stay very enjoyable.
