This is a wonderful place to stay for a trip to Marlborough! It is a short drive to both Blenheim and Picton, and very close to all the great wineries the region is known for. Mel was super friendly and made sure I had everything I needed. The decorations were so homey. I wish I could have taken the bed and couch with me they were both that comfortable. The living room and kitchen provide great views of the beach and ocean. Mel showed me pictures of the previous week's sunrise because sadly both mornings I was there Mother Nature decided to give me clouds. The kitchen is well stocked with appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and breakfast fixings in the fridge awaiting my arrival. I would definitely stay here again!!
