Really great find, located in a secluded spot within the grounds of a working farm, and only 7km out of Blenheim centre. The Misty River Retreat itself was extremely private both in terms of your indoor and outside space, with convenient private parking directly in front of the lodge.
The beds and linen were all very comfortable, and the host provided various things such as milk, bread, fruit juice, some home baked goods and preserves, as well as other breakfast vittles at no extra cost (sadly we didn't have chance to try much of the baked goods due to being on a low carb diet at the minute; but they looked delicious!).
The host Joanna was quick to reply to messages, and was extremely helpful at all times, even volunteering to set up a portacot for the baby prior to our arrival; meaning we could leave ours in the car, and just arrive and relax knowing everything was already there and ready for us.
The private garden and decked area were lovely, and there's even gated access out onto the paddock and river, where we enjoyed a nice morning walk (and even had a little chat with their friendly Kune Kune who came to say hello!).
All in all we had a great stay, and would definitely stop here again if traveling to the area.
