Carol is exactly the type of host you are looking for in Blenheim. She made us feel extremely welcome in her lovely home, giving us a tour of the house and her amazing home-grown veggie garden. She picked us up from the city centre as we were quite lost and gave us great local insider advice regarding things to do and hikes in the surrounding landscape. Food provides was incredible, she is a great cook! Her and her husband Jeff were so accommodating and helped us with our future travels. Our experience would have been otherwise average without meeting her. Go carol!
