“Experience Marlborough in style”

Reviewed 3 May 2013

This is the perfect place to make the most of a Wine Region like Marlborough, particularly if you have several days in the district. The villas are well appointed and spacious; spotlessly clean and the kitchens are well equipped for self catering (they even have BBQs). While closer to Renwick than Blenhiem, Vintners is still ideally located for exploring the... More

“A great family resort”

Reviewed 20 April 2013

We stayed here in January 2013. We are a family of 5 and relaxed here for 3 days before walking the Queen Charlotte. Our villa was spacious and comfortable with new appliances and a lovely view over the vineyard. The kids enjoyed the pool which is not heated but was ok as it was very hot. We were walking distance... More

Thank you for reviewing us on Trip Advisor, and we appreciate your comments. As you point out, we do not place extra beds upstairs. Our spare beds are not stretcher beds, but rigid based single beds and therefore too heavy for our housekeepers to lift, especially if they are working alone. However, we do place mattresses on the floor upstairs... More

“Great location, great place”

Reviewed 18 April 2013

We stayed here as part of an auction prize organised by Matua Wines. We were very pleasantly surprised with the wonderful 2 bedroom apartment/home with all the trimmings. The location of Vintners is a great location to wineries & restaurants. We hired bikes on our arrival & rode to lunch, then the chocolate shop. We needed more time to visit... More

Thank you for taking the time to review us, and I am glad you enjoyed your stay. Harvest is a busy time of year in Marlborough, and it adds to the excitement but I can appreciate your concerns regarding the noise from the road. I don’t think the placement of the Villa on the grounds makes a huge difference, but... More

“Perfect accommodation in a stunning region”

Reviewed 16 April 2013

We stayed with another couple in a two bedroom lodge over Easter. The accommodation was extremely well presented and spotlessly clean. I was impressed with the little touches such as fresh flowers in our bathroom and the lounge area. We slept so well as our bed was very comfortable with high quality linen and big fluffy towels in our spacious... More

Thank you for your review, I am so pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay, and made good use of our guest garden. We planted it in spring and hoped that it would provide that little bit extra for our guests, as so many guests do like to self cater. Great to learn that other places on the South Island... More

“If this property is 22 in the reviews then someone is telling fibs!!!”

Reviewed 4 April 2013

After traveling throughout the Easter break and staying at a variety of accommodation we arrived at Hamner Springs hoping to indulge in a spot of luxury. How wrong can one be! I should have known better and at least read up on the what's on for the region as there was a Bull Riding & Rodeo "get together" and every... More

Thank you very much for you review, we have really enjoyed reading it, and especially like that you provided references for your dog! The air guns are a definite feature of Marlborough pre-harvest, but after a while you do get used to them and they have to cease before 7pm to give us all some peace… Kind regards Shulah and... More

“Peaceful place to stay”

Reviewed 24 February 2013

The Retreat is a secluded and quiet place. The rooms were very comfortable - we were in a 3-bedroom unit- but only one air-conditioner in the whole place. This was ok at the time of year we went but may be a problem in more extreme conditions. The manager was very friendly and helpful, very welcoming and the grounds are... More

Hello and thank you for your review. Yes, it is worth mentioning that we are in a rural area, away from the town so transport is essential, unless you fancy walking or biking your way around! We have three wineries right next door, and the Vines Village is 1.4k along Rapaura Road, but for Renwick or Blenheim you do need... More

“Perfect”

Reviewed 23 February 2013

We have recently stayed at Vintners Retreat for 4 nights & we loved it! The villa was huge, modern, very clean & very comfortable. The daily servicing was excellent. The villas were well spaced & all had a view of the mountains. The outdoor patio area was large, with good quality furniture, but our BBQ wasn't working properly. Martin was... More

Thank you very much for your review, I am sorry to hear about your BBQ, especially given that your visit was during perfect BBQ weather! The pool has been fantastic this season; we’re hoping next summer will be just as good. Kind regards Shulah George More

“Welcome refuge”

Reviewed 17 February 2013

We revelled in the luxury of this property and slept like babes in the spacious apartment. Great shower, pool pleasant and the potage garden was a wonderful plus. Watch your head on the sloped roof in the master bedroom!

Hello and thank you for your review. Great to hear you enjoyed your stay and made use of our little veggie garden, however I am curious to know if you intended to grade us so poorly in the ‘tick boxes’ given you very positive review? Kind regards Shulah George More

“Perfect location to explore the region”

Reviewed 25 January 2013

We stayed at this property, as a treat for 3 nights over the Christmas period. It was very comfortable, clean and well equipped. It serves as a perfect location for exploring the Marlborough wine region, in fact there are three great wineries to visit within a hundred meters of the front door. If I were to have one request, it's... More

Thank you very much for your review, we agree that our proximity to wineries is a great asset! I have say, this Christmas was the hottest I have experienced in NZ – all the air conditioning units were working overtime, and the pool certainly saw a fair amount of use… Kind regards Shulah George More
