The view of the vineyard out our back deck was spectacular! Plus, we were only two miles from Cloudy Bay and Allan Scott wineries which were both fantastic. Huge downstairs and kitchen, and both rooms upstairs were very nice and comfortable. Loved it here!

Loved the uniqueness of the property. The fact that it had a little herb garden and we were allowed to pick some of the herbs for our cooking. The property was a god size, clean and well maintained.
