This place was in an absolutely idyllic setting. There were vineyards and baby goats and sheep, just off the back of the property and waking up to open the back curtains and see the view of the mountains and the vineyards was just perfection. Mike at the front desk was super helpful. The amenities were all in good working order. I would go back there for a week or two every single year if I could

This is a beautiful venue sitting next to a picturesque vineyard. The unit had a full living room, dining room, kitchen and bath on the lower level with 2 large bedrooms on the upper level, with a deck and a large bathroom with a jet tub. There was a washer and dryer in the garage. Off the living room was a beautiful private yard with a dining table with umbrella and chairs. The property has a solar heated pool and a tennis court. We enjoyed staying here and would come back again

The view of the vineyard out our back deck was spectacular! Plus, we were only two miles from Cloudy Bay and Allan Scott wineries which were both fantastic. Huge downstairs and kitchen, and both rooms upstairs were very nice and comfortable. Loved it here!

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!

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.
