Although we arrived early Tamsin made us very welcome and we were able to use her own personal outside space for our lunch while she prepared the apartment which is adjacent to her house but with separate entrance and outside seating area. The apartment had plenty of space and was very comfortable and since it is surrrounded by vineyards is lovely and quiet. The hens often came to visit us and we met the goat , the horse and one of the dogs in the two days we were there. The location was ideally situated for the ferry at Picton (only 20mins away), is near to Blenheim and the drive to Nelson is also very scenic. Unfortunately we did not have a chance to use Tamsin's pool or jump in the nearby sea.
