Extremely hospitable hosts and immaculately presented, slightly quirkily themed accomodations. Great spot to stop or stay a while and handy to berry farms north of Blenheim.

"A relaxing recharge"

10.0

Everything. The accomodation is well thought out and well situated in a beautiful garden setting. Care and attention to detail is shown in the individually themed cabins. The hosts were warm and welcoming and more than willing to share their special property with their guests.

"Brilliant"

10.0

It was quiet and peaceful in BEATUIFUL surroundings and only 10 minutes to the centre of Blenheim. The cabin was cleverly themed with lots of interesting artefacts as well as modern amenities. A delicious cooked breakfast was delivered each morning. The large bed was very comfortable giving us some of the best nights sleeps we’ve had in a long while. We awoke each morning to the sounds of birdsong and sheep bleating. Our hosts were very welcoming and suggested places to visit, each day, which we wouldn’t have known about or thought of going to. The Jolly Poacher couldn’t have been more perfect.

Nothing it was just perfect.
