Love this house! Our 2 families stayed here for 3 nights during Christmas. The house is easy walking distance to restaurants and a block from the grocery store. We also had a lovely walk along the river and all around Polard Park- with a fun playground for the kids and a really gorgeous rose garden. The house itself lovely- very comfortable and well appointed. We had everything (and more!) that we needed in kitchen, bathrooms, linens. Note that this is the hosts’ actual home so there are lots of personal items and the house feels a bit more lived-in (full) then some other Airbnb’s, but ultimately it was comfortable, cosy and we made ourselves right at home. The hosts were incredibly responsive leading up to our stay, and when we arrived there were chocolates in all the bedrooms and fresh flowers throughout the house- flowers from their own garden. It was a bit cold to enjoy the pool but we spent lots of time in the courtyard and also made use of the grill for our Christmas dinner. We recommend BV Gourmet which is a gourmet kitchen shop - they put together a really nice Christmas dinner hamper for us with duck, salads, breads, cheeses, etc. This is a great home to relax and unwind in Blenheim!
