Vintners Retreat

This is a nice resort with a great location. It was clean and well maintained but some of the furniture and the rugs were a bit worn. There is plenty of space. We enjoyed our morning walks along the vineyard paths - very peaceful and picturesque.

The place is actually made of several villas which are huge and with great views of a vineyard and mountains. Accommodations are two stories; ours had two bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is a full kitchen. The bed was quite comfortable and the linens/towels were of good quality. There was also a jacuzzi in the master bath which I loved. I would say that the cleanliness could have been better; we found a broiler tray in a kitchen cabinet that was filthy and full of grease. Yuck. It was hot the first day we were there. There is adequate AC on the first floor but nothing but fans on the second floor so we were very uncomfortable sleeping that night. Also, be aware that there is NO restaurant or food available on site. They do sell bottles of wine. Not the best place for people traveling without a car. The receptionist was not very helpful or friendly. Overall, just average.

Location is perfect for visiting the wine farms. Nice to be away from the main town on Blenheim, but Blenheim is still easily accessible. You need a car.

There was no breakfast. It was self catering.

Generally was a good place. I would recommend it for families or groups of 4 or more travellers.

Great location, close to wineries and town. Accommodation was perfect, two large bedrooms and sitting area and outside bbq and seating Beds and pillows were super comfy Airconditioner available as well

It continues to get better thanks to Mike and Doug . The grounds are improving all the time such a lovely relaxing oasis they are best I have seen them in 20yrs we have been coming. We usually come 3 or4 times a year to rest and relax. The villas are so cosy a home away from home. We are always felt so welcome by Mike noting is a bother. See you again soon!

My husband and I brought our 23 year old daughter and stayed 2 nights. The staff were lovely and the property was clean and very comfortable. We walked to many vineyards in the area. It is a lovely place and affordable.
