Misty River Retreat

Loved the eggs and fresh bread, a really lovely treat.

Everything was perfect!

We had such a lovely but short stay at Misty River. The place is set within a short driving distance of Blenheim, next to stunning nature and views. It felt totally private, with parking just outside. We felt so warmly welcomed, and we found delicious homemade bread and other delights, including eggs for our breakfast to be (Yum!). The place comprises two larger bedrooms that also facilitate as a living room and dining area. These rooms are connected with a compact, but so smartly designed kitchen that contained all that we needed for our stay. Actually, we were in awe of the practicality and clever use of the kitchen space. We loved the chance to feed the alpacas - and we did so both upon arrival and before leaving! It was so fun! We did not dare doing the suggested round walk - as we were unsure about walking amongst the feeding animals. However, it did not matter, as we had already had a busy day! The place was very clean and we had a very comfortable stay, both relaxing in the evening and whilst sleeping! The place as a whole had a great vibe to it! The nearby Blenheim and Marlborough Wine Region were great, and we loved our lunch at a chosen winery and wider wine tasting.

Just a small point - but perhaps the addition of a BBQ? With the outdoor sitting area, this would have made it perfect!

Fantastic stay! The cottage is so nice, the alpaca’s very friendly and we loved Billy the sheep. Fresh baked bread, eggs and jam were great. Stayed for two nights, next time definitely more.

The retreat was exceptional - private, comfortable, high quality design and amenities. The homemade bread, free range eggs, butter and jam were appreciated. The host was responsive and accommodating offering a late checkout given our late arrival.

Fantastic location! This unique and mystique farm stay offers an unforgettable experience. We walked into an eco friendly home and were greeted very warmly by the owners themselves. We were offered freshly baked bread, fresh laid eggs along with delicious homemade jam…yum! Meeting the curious Alpaca mob and Bobo was another highlight. Calm and beautiful, this charming retreat ticks all boxes. Loved it!!

A well equipped and appointed property in a stunning area. A lovely touch with fresh eggs and bread, and we enjoyed feeding the Alpacas.

Nothing.

Everything was exceptional, from the warm smile on arrival to the freshly backed bread and eggs and the location was so beautiful and peaceful. Can't recommend more highly!! Thank you x
