Come prepared (shopping in Picton in Blenheim ideally) with your own snacks and makings for lunch, Carol will provide breakfast, simple (mostly sweet) fixings. A separate fridge is provided in the attached garage to keep your food and she makes her kitchen available. Do take her up on the offer for dinner ($60 NZ for 2) because of the remote location, winding roads and the crazy sick view you won’t want to dash away. Stay, linger.
Be sure to have downloaded podcasts or movies prior to arrival ( they have only limited WiFi data plan via satellite- remember ... remote) even better, Bring a good book. Didn’t get a chance to meet Brian but Carol was plenty entertaining- they spent 15 years sailing on their yacht!
Relaxed, and unfussy with a view to die for at an exceedingly affordable price. Kayaks, too. Be sure to walk through her granddaughters’ hidden fairy garden when walking back up from the water’s edge.
