If anyone is looking for a quiet self contained place to stay near Picton/Blenheim or the east coast then Tamasin's place is perfect. It had everything we needed to cook ourselves dinner etc, had a TV with Netflix etc on, and a super comfy bed. It was quiet and a scenic place to be. Tamasin's animals are all very friendly, and it's lovely to walk round the VineYard too. Tamsin's swimming pool out back was also lovely to be able to use too. Staying 2 nights was great to visit the nearby places, but we could have stayed much longer and been very comfortable. Highly recommend!
