Down for the Saint Claire running event we picked Katie’s place for our Blenheim base. Perfect for us as it had a full kitchen which came with some useful/thoughtful condiments, which is just what you want when you have a pre-run ritual.
Warm and cosy even for us Northlanders, we didn’t even use the heat pump. It had an added bonus of being close to family and was literally within walking distant, so very handy. Sure it is a little out in the suburbs, but it was so quiet there, and we had a hire car so wasn’t a concern. We didn’t use the pool, but we did pick up some of the feijoas that were divine. No doubt we’ll come back as it was the perfect spot in Blenheim for us.
