We decided to stay at John's place as we were relocating to Blenheim for a new job. We stayed for a month to allow time to search for a more long term living arrangement. We settled in quickly as the place is quite homely and John is a great host. John is always ready to give a helping hand if needed. Several times John would greet us with some home made scones and cookies. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend the place to anyone seeking a cozy sleepout to stay in.
