John's house reminded me of a good old New Zealand bach, there's something really kiwi about it. It's filled with an eclectic collection of beautiful old furniture, antiques and art.
This was a perfect place to explore Marlborough from. It's about 10-15 min walk into the town where you can get water taxis, hire bikes and go for walks. It's easy to get out to the Sounds for a beautiful day trip.
We have a toddler and the waterfront playground and miniature train were perfect. Great places to eat, good coffee and wonderful places to visit.
John is very friendly and was always eager to share some local tips over a wine or a coffee (the front entrance deck area is shared between his house and the accommodation) and was very accomodating.
