Domenic and Deborah's place was absolutely perfect. My wife and I thoroughly loved staying at their Ben Morven Vineyard Cottage. It's a breath of fresh air being away from town and right in the vines. Both sunrise and sunset are spectacular being in the vines with the mountains in the background. You're surrounded by vines with view from the kitchen, living/dining room and bedroom. They did a wonderful job with all the windows.
The place is beautiful and has everything you need. Having visited in the winter, they had plenty of blankets for our use and even had eggs, bacon, bread, butter and jams in the refrigerator for us. We walked in to a lovely bottle of wine and glasses set out as a welcome gift (which we enjoyed right away!). Not only did we enjoy a glass of wine before exploring Blenheim, but we were also greeted by Vito, their cute pup. Vito is super friendly and was the highlight of our stay for my wife. She still can't stop talking about him. He enjoys cuddles on the beanbag chairs. Vito got more cuddles from my wife than I did during our visit. Our stay at Dominic and Deborah's cottage was definitely one of the highlights of our New Zealand trip!
