Perfect private spot
We had a great stay here and will definitely be back again. Great if you don’t want to be in Blenheim and have some beautiful scenery to look at!

About the host
Hosted by Rebecca
We are a family of 5 loving life on our farm. In our spare time we like heading out on the boat on the Marlborough sounds for a fish or taking a bush walk or camping trip.
