You would feel the warm hospitality from Don even before you arrive. Don will keep close contact with you before your arrival.
Don looks after his guests very well and makes sure your problems are looked into immediately. During our stay, Don offered me another firmer mattress when I told him I did not sleep well the night before. And he even let me sleep in another bed room.
Don offered many local tips in Picton, Havelock and Blenheim.
Last but not least, the view on the Marlborough sounds from Dons Place is fantastic.
