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.

Cozy and Quite
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.

Beautiful location and house
Absolutely incredible location right on a vineyard. Really enjoyed the house, it was super peaceful and had everything you’d need for a few days in the wine country. Loved it, thank you David. David was also super helpful for us.

Peaceful location
Comfortable, well-appointed space. Enjoyed a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc on the sunny patio. Although about 10 minutes from town, our tour operator, Discovery Wine Tours came out to pick us up and drop us off.
