I stayed at Laura's place for three nights while visiting Blenheim. The apartment is a separate unit behind their house, small but quiet and very comfortable. Her family and dog are very friendly but also respectful of your privacy. I had everything I needed in the kitchen and bath, plus the wifi worked great. A washing machine was available but I didn't need it. There was a place to sit outside to enjoy the evenings and also there was a place to park my car off the street inside their gate. I found it quite easy to get around Blenheim for hiking some of the local tracks and visiting wineries and the location of this apartment was central to everything. This was my second visit to Blenheim and I will come again. I would definitely stay at Laura's place again too!
