The lucky traveller sometimes finds a perfect place, we did. So when in Blenheim, stay at Bec Lodge. Sarah and Dave Anderson are charming, attentive and helpful hosts. Their welcome is genuine and thoughtful. The accomodation is first-class, the view and ambiance are stunning. The food is excellent. Dave is chef with a creative skill rarely found. We enjoyed a...

Perfect stay. Everything you could want in a luxury lodge - beauty, modern amenities from the kitchen to living spaces, bedrooms and bathrooms. Dave and Sarah(owners) are fabulous hosts and they happen to be two married chefs, which is a HUGE bonus. Our travel agent highly recommended the "degustation 5 course dinner with matching wines" and said she had heard... More

Thoroughly recommended - we were made very comfortable by the managers and enjoyed a very nice meal there . Nice views and not far out of town. More

Having read the latest reviews before writing ours, we totally agree with everything said by the last few reviewers and feel there really isn't much more we can add!

After 3 weeks of touring Australia and New Zealand, stepping... More

BEC Lodge management has changed in the past 6 months--so do NOT rely on old reviews. Dave and Sarah have taken over the management of BEC and WOW is the best word. First, the lodge sits on a hill just outside of Blenheim with great views. Inside the Lodge is warm and very inviting. I have never seen a B&B... More

We booked into Bec Lodge as our Christmas present to ourselves. It was fairly expensive but sounded like just our kind of place. We both expected something like an English country manor house. Very grand. We were picked up at the airport by a driver from Marlborough tours, not the hotel itself. I knew we were out with Marlborough tours... More

My husband and I have taken far too long to write this review and I can only apolgise to the lovely Dave and Sarah! We spent a few nights here back in July when Dave and Sarah first took over the place and we have to say it was the highlight of our trip. The lodge is just beautiful -... More
