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.

When we arrived our room was ready to go. It was a colder day but the room was lovely and warm. My friend was sleeping on the couch but we couldn't find the sheets, while we were having dinner reception arranged for another set of sheets for us. I usually struggle to sleep in a foreign bed, both nights I slept right through despite having a cold.

My husband and I stayed for 2 nights and we really loved it. The house was so comfortable, the setting was beautiful among the vineyards, and we loved our spotless room and modern ensuite with views of the vines and mountains. John and Paulette were the perfect hosts and really went out of their way to recommend places with good food and wine and gave us tips to avoid unnecessary costs when travelling around Blenheim (much appreciated). We will definitely stay at Stonehaven again on our next visit to Blenheim.

This was our first time staying in a bed and breakfast type accommodation and they have set the bar high for our next experience. Our hosts were gracious and the room and home were unique and very comfortable.

We were upgraded by a very obliging and friendly manager. We will stay here again.

Beautifully clean inside and out. A pleasure to stay in.

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

We enjoyed our stay very much. We liked the look of our room and bathroom. Just what we were looking for.
