Hotels near Mount Richmond

We had a week at Vintners Retreat (not to be confused with Vintners Hotel just down the road) and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The villa was new and modern and very open plan so heaps of room for our 16mth old to run around when it was raining. The outside was also great with a large lawn and patio area complete with bbq. The location was superb, being semi rural in amongst the vineyards (with Wairau River Vineyard and restaurant just next door and Nautilus across the road). It was a great spot to base ourselves when exploring the Marlborough region with Picton 30 mins and Kaikoura just 1.5 hrs away. You do need a car though.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay with hosts Diane and Robert. The rooms are comfortable and quiet. The fresh fruit and homemade preserves for breakfast were excellent. The garden is beautiful. Thanks to Diane and Robert for their help in planning our time. My only regret is that we did not stay longer. Only two nights was not enough. We will definitely be back.

Very neat, clean contemporary style unit. Nice kitchen, table area, and very comfortable king bed. Situated by their vineyard, this is very convenience to the local vineyards in the area. Restaurant had delicious food but some might believe it to be too pricey. We did not. Would recommend the unit and restaurant to friends, and would definitely stay there again.

On first arriving there was confusion with my booking regarding who I was staying with. I had neglected to put down my partners details on the booking and they assumed I was staying by myself. We had dinner plans but they had already were prepared to entertain me for dinner with their other guests that night which was sweet. John and Paulette were extremely hospitable. We felt like we were staying at our parents or close friends place.

Engaging hosts, fabulous hospitality in a beautiful exclusive retreat We thoroughly enjoyed socialising with other guests and our hosts. Would return on a heartbeat if in the Marlborough of New Zealand

We went to Blenheim for the wineries, but found it other things of interest. Our motel was very confortable and quiet.

We were only staying in Blenheim as a stopover on our route to Kaikoura for a trip the following day. The motel was easy to find and located opposite a range of facilities including a Speight's ale house where the food was really good. The pool was welcome after a day of walking and travelling. i would stay here again if I were back in New Zealand
