Warm and welcoming guest houses are ideal for travelers who prefer laid-back accommodations with a personal touch. Usually family run, these hosts will provide local recommendations and even optional meals. Guest houses sometimes feature a cozy living room or a garden – and are still cheaper than most regular hotels.
This place is wonderful - a destination in itself. Excellent hosts, excellent accommodations, excellent views. A historic house that you would not want to miss! We had dinner there and it was delicious. Well worth the short drive from Blenheim, you won't find better than this, it is a great value. Hope to be back again in the future!
The superb 360 degree views, the utter peace and quiet at night, the comfortable bed, the friendly welcome of the hosts, their kindness in sharing their kitchen with us (important if you don’t want to eat out every day - there are limited facilities in the room), the impressive shower room, the overall good value for money. There are places to stay closer to the vineyards of Marlborough, but none I suspect as special as Hill Top Retreat.
What a fantastic location with stunning views. Comfortable room with all that we needed. Friendly hosts making us feel very welcome. Thank you for a memorable stay!
Location beautiful. Wonderful rural views in every direction. Host family very welcoming. Room very clean, comfortable and quiet.
