Wonderful position amongst all the vines and best wineries. If you are looking for accommodation for a group or family this is the place to stay! It has everything you would need - including washing machine and dryer!! More

I stayed here with my bridesmaids the night before my wedding and it was absolutely perfect. We got 2 2 bedroom units so we all had a bedroom and bathroom. The rooms are spacious and clean. It was really a home way from home but much nicer! Everything neded was there and more- even a barbq. Lovely villas. We totally... More

We stayed 2 nights here and could only get a 2 bedroomed villa even though there was only 2 of us which meant we probably didn't feel we got the best value for money but it was our choice. As we were in Villa 1, the nearest to the main road, we were glad as we could choose to sleep... More

Spent 2 nights at Vintners Retreat and it exceeded our expectations. The villas are large, comfortable and spotlessly clean, we felt as though we were the first people to stay in them. The bedrooms were dark, quite and luxuriously comfortable ensuring a good nights sleep to recover from the wonderful wineries nearby. The kitchen was better equipped than my kitchen... More

This is a fantastic place to distress in the middle of travels. Large open and spacious villa in the middle of Marlborough vineyards with envy comfort! Flat screen satellite tv, huge bathrooms, nice patio, morning paper, free wifi, private laundry facilities. What more could you want! I highly recommend! More

Great little units adjacent to the vines. Well manicured lawns and gardens and very comfortable inside and out. We made use of the tennis courts and it was a great place to base a couple of days of wine tasting. - Highly recommended. More

Unit 14 was a good size but didn't overlook the vineyard although we had a peep through the units that were on the edge. It was a bit like being in a retirement village and all the comforts of home were available but the atmosphere was missing. It wouldn't have been as obvious except that the last place we stayed...

Our family of 5 enjoyed two wonderful nights in villa 8 overlooking the vinyards. We were met with hospitality and a well equiped villa. Our villa contained 3 bed rooms, 2 bathrooms, big livingroom and a garden w BBQ. The beds were great. We rented bikes which were brought and picked up from our villa. A place we would like... More

My only regret was we couldn't stay longer! The hosts are a fabulous couple in which we had many a great conversation with them, the house had everything and more! FREE internet is always good! Rooms were warm and the heat pump work efficiently. Many TV channels to choose from and private BBQ area we would have taken advantage of... More

We stayed here during a tour of New Zealand. The villa felt just like home with all the comforts and things you are used to especially when you have been away for a while. You will need a car to get round but you would so anyway in New Zealand. The manager was very helpful organizing a tour for us... More
