We were a group of 8 women, and we enjoyed the spaciousness of the house, the comfortable beds and there was good airflow throughout which was nice especially for those sleeping upstairs. The outdoor area was great relaxing in the sun or the shade. The kitchen is well equipped and the bbq worked well. We needed to add further to the breakfast supplies as it wasn't sufficient for us. The location is quiet, being down a side road - but it is also central to activities around Blenheim. Highly recommend.
