Only 10 minutes drive away from Blenheim central, unwind in a 2 bedroom cottage surrounded by native trees. You can feed the alpacas and take a leisurely walk around the privately owned riverside conservation area. The large windows facing out to native trees provide a nice green outlook. Enjoy a light breakfast with locally made bread and homemade preserves. Both rooms are at opposite ends of the retreat they are dual purpose, the queen room has a TV and sofa and the super king room has a dining table. Kitchenette and bathroom in middle of retreat. A private garden with deck off the super king room provides you with outdoor seating and garden plus your our own access to the protected riverside conservation area.
