The Opihi Vineyard stay was perfect! It's a beautiful setting tucked away in a quiet part of the country but, close enough to Geraldine, Fairlie and Timaru, if you need something from a larger town. Simon and Mathilde were incredible guests and were extremely helpful and responsive when we had a minor glitch during our stay. The cottage/grounds are very dog friendly and they even have recommendations on what you can/can't do with dogs in the area. The cottage was spacious, warm and well equipped. We had a fantastic stay and hope to get back there eventually!
