One of the nicest places on earth.
One of our favorite places in the world to stay. This is our third return to this wonderful retreat. We love it warm, friendly atmosphere, the wonderful hosts, Dave and Helly, its location in the heart of Marlboro wine country, and the advice of the proprietors in things to see. We look forward to our next visit in great anticipation.

Helen and Dave are wonderful hosts. Excellent stories, delicious homemade marmalade and even a man cave to die for! A clean, comfortable and homely place to stay after some wine tasting, with beautiful gardens. They really have created a little slice of paradise.

The cabin/ cottage is gorgeous with grazing sheep in the paddock near by. Beautiful established gardens with lots of bird songs. Hellen and Dave were so welcoming and gracious to us. They allowed our family to use their pool. Beautiful walking areas along the river banks. This is our second visit and we will definitely come back again.

The Jolly Poacher is a true gem. The beautifully presented interior immediately impresses, creating a warm and cozy vibe that makes you feel right at home. If you love flyfishing, there is a treasure trove of memorabilia to keep you entertained. We stayed as a family for two nights and the highlight for my daughter was feeding the calf over the fence. The location is a dream—just a short drive to the local wineries and downtown Blenheim. The hosts were incredibly accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Highly recommend a visit to this delightful haven.

We had a great relaxing time here. Helen and Dave are great hosts who make you feel very welcome. The cottage is very roomy and nicely appointed. The gardens are amazing. It’s a great stay for visiting the wineries and/or Picton area. Highly recommended.

Serene and lovely place
Spectacular place! The hunting lodge unit was so comfortable, wonderfully decorated and well appointed! The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and delivery a lovely homemade breakfast in the morning. The wifi was awesome, my husband was thrilled! The setting is so beautiful, lovely gardens and a few sheep out the back windows. The area is set in the wine country and is super quiet and peaceful. I wish we had booked more days! Make your reservations, you will be SO glad you did!
