Loved the uniqueness of the property. The fact that it had a little herb garden and we were allowed to pick some of the herbs for our cooking. The property was a god size, clean and well maintained.

Cozy Retreat in Perfect Location
Had a lovely 2-night stay at Vintners Retreat for our Marlborough getaway. Coming from the North Island we took the ferry to arrive in Picton so we weren't sure if we wanted to stay in Picton to do some of the tramps there or stay closer to the vineyards to visit wineries, but we were so happy we chose to stay here. It is only a about a 25-30 minute drive from Picton, but it was so lovely here that we decided to just enjoy the beautiful scenery and visit some Cellar Doors and enjoy the beauty and peace of this area. You can walk to several of the wineries from here, or many others are closeby. Our favorite was Brancott Estate which was a few minutes drive away. Upon checking in we received a bottle of milk which was perfect for the nice espresso maker in our villa where my husband made us coffees. We also came in fairly late since after our ferry ride we decided to drive around Picton and surrounding areas before the sun set. It was so nice to come into our heated 2-bedroom villa that was warm and cozy. The villa is beautiful and spacious and even had a nice patio in the back. One of the bathrooms has a spa bathtub that we took advantage of nightly. And we even had heated blankets. I would highly recommend Vintners Retreat. Friendly owners too. If you are hesitating on booking here, I would do it, you won't regret it. And you will not want to leave!

8/10 Very good

I have stayed here before, its a nice property. It was a little noisier than the last time, with road noise and the people in the next villa banging around. But thats not the fault of the property. I'll definitely be back.
