Bed and Breakfast in Thomsons Ford

"We are a couple in our 50s and came to Blenheim to visit its renowned wineries. We stayed at the French Fields for 2 nights and it really exceeded all our expectations. If I could give it 6 stars I would. The location is super convenient for getting to the wineries. Our room was beautifully decorated, clean and comfortable. The view from the balcony was breath taking. The fresh lavender scent from the fields and the bird songs were calming. Natashya and Jonathan were gracious hosts who...

"An oasis of tranquility - outstanding landscaping and hospitality. Great warmth and advice from hosts Dave and Helen. Very highly recommended."

"A very nice property close to the wineries"

"Wonderful stay with our hosts who did more than was expected. Nothing was a problem. They even met us at the train station with our luggage so we would not have to walk back from town. What a treat breakfast was. I would book again in a heartbeat. "

"This place was great. Pretty, good breakfast, good location. Except it is not handicap accessible. If I had known that there were stepp, irregular, slanted and long steps to front door without even a railing, I would not have booked. Also difficult if you habe heavy luggage. I think the fact that it isn't accessible should be in the description."

"The hosts were very helpful and helped us plan the best activities for our stay and organise them. The view from our balcony and the shared lounge were fabulous. Food and refreshments were excellent. We would happily return if in New Zealand again and would recommend it as a great location and place to stay if asked. The scenery and closeness to Queen Charlotte Track were wonderful. "

"It's hard not to revert to the amazing view as the jewel in the crown here but the truth is that the hospitality shown by Peter and Pat was the real highlight. Thank you to the wonderful hosts that were truly warm, welcoming and happy to go the extra mile! Highly recommended to all! (also, the view and property are amazing!) "
