What a lovely place to arrive at! The driveway from the road to the elegant house is lovely, and the house itself is an absolute gem of colonial style. Our hosts Heidi and Werner could not have been more charming. We were treated to tea on the verandah on our arrival - here we met some other guests. Our room... More

This really is a step back in time to all the picture book looks that you could imagine an old Edwardian colonial house would be. From tea on the verandah overlooking the lovely trees and front garden complete with white fan tail doves, to our room with its own private little garden and swingseat, heaven. Our host Heidi was so... More

This was our third stay at the wonderful Peppertree. We cannot come to New Zealand without a visit to Heidi and Werner in their fantastic home. We were as always welcomed with open arms, shown to a beautiful room and made to feel as if we had never been away. We were able to sample Werner's superb wine at the... More

My husband and I stayed at The Peppertree for 2 nights in February 2012. We were made to feel very welcome and special from the moment we arrived. Heidi and Wernher are excellent hosts. Our room was spacious, tranquil and beautifully decorated, as is the whole property, which has a colonial feel about it. Heidi's breakfasts were delicious and very... More

My husband and I stayed at the Peppertree on a recent trip to New Zealand and found it to be as wonderful as we remembered from our prior trip 8 years ago. The property is lovely and beautifully maintained and the accommodations stylish and comfortable. Heidi and Werner are friendly and we felt most welcome from the moment we arrived.... More

The consistently good reviews on TA are all true, this really is one of the best B&BS we have ever stayed in. The whole property is beautiful, inside decorations and furnishings are immaculate, and the gardens, vineyard and olive grove beautifully maintained. Breakfast is very good, mostly from home-grown produce. The hospitality is friendly and includes a tasting of home... More

The Peppertree is among the best places that we have ever stayed! We have traveled around the world and stayed at many places, but none with the charm, elegance and warmth of the Peppertree in Blenheim. Located close to the wineries , yet situated away from town, the Pepertrr property has a small vineyard, lovely gardens, abundant fruit trees and... More

I have just spent a few days at this most amazing accommodation. The Edwardian style villa and the hosts, Heidi and Werner Pluss, could not have been more welcoming. The breakfasts are delicious, the best scrambled or poached eggs amongst a comprehensive buffet. My room, the Venetian Suite, was most comfortable and spacious with a little veranda and access to...
