I stayed at the Bungalow during November 2018 and the location was absolutely perfect! I was traveling solo and it fit all of my needs. If you're planning on doing some cooking, the small kitchen isn't set up for that, but I had no intentions of cooking. The Bungalow is located right next door to a beautiful little cafe, a few cute shops, the Whitehaven tasting room, an ice cream shop and a bike rental facility. This all came in very handy for me because I also didn't rent a car. All of this closes around 4:30 - 5, but there's also a restaurant across the street in the Vintner's Hotel where I was easily able to walk for dinner. This area with the shops and cafe is called Vines Village, so there will be people walking around the back area of the Bungalow during the day. However, there are blinds you can pull down on every window if you want more privacy. The location of the Bungalow is perfect if you want to visit some wineries. You can easily bike to several of them and you also have the option of wine tours that provide transportation and pick you up right at the Bungalow. I had no problem communicating with Karen and always received a quick response. Overall, I was very happy staying at the Bungalow and would recommend it if you're visiting the Marlborough region.
