Best Blenheim B&Bs
St Leonards, with five self contained cottages, is an original old farm homestead (circa 1886), a good example of early New Zealand colonial architecture, located in a rural and private setting with century-old walnut, gum and elm trees, and now surrounded by vineyards. Stroll around the garden and lemon grove, enjoy a game of tennis in the grass court, play croquet or petanque, relax in the swimming pool, or hire a bike for a ride around the vineyard region.

Pros: We stayed in the WoolShed. It was very warm and comfortable. The hosts were friendly and helpful. The small farm with sheep, alpacas and chickens and the surrounding vineyards were very peaceful and beautiful. We had a great time!

Pros: Beautiful property close to all the great wineries of the Marlborough region. The cottage accommodation was very comfortable. Roomy lounge and well equipt kitchen, luxury furnishings and country style decor features. Windows overlooked both a magnificent vineyard and farmland landscape. Breakfast was classic NZ hospitality, generous and delicious, with fresh eggs from the farm. We spent a wet day indoors and made great use of the cosy warm comforts of this sweet cottage. The farm animals were adorable and ran to be petted. Animals accommodation looked ideal too, which speaks volumes of the hosts.

Pros: This was our second visit to St. Leonards and will not be our last. Staying on a small farm in the heart of Marlborough wine country is an incredible experience. The hosts are friendly and helpful, the cottages quaint and rustic, and the farm animals charming and friendly. We used the grills for cooking dinner, the hot tub for relaxing after a long day, and at fruit straight off their trees.

Pros: Beautiful, peaceful, location! What a wonderful setting with the birds and animals that we could view from our apartment. Our son was out earlier marking off all the different birds he had seen. Apartment was as expected, it was great to have a good sleep after staying on noisy roads and streets light shining in you rooms. Looking forward to staying in the future and add some kayaking, that must be amazing.

Pros: The walking area around the property is excellent for nature. Also daughter loved feeding the alpacas, going for a walk with Bonny the dog and they even have one of the sheep who comes to you from the field when you call.

Pros: We expected bnb and the website said continental OR cooked breakfast was provided with every booking. But after I had paid they told us breakfast was not included after we had paid $297! Said we would have to pay extra for breakfast. The site said last booking! Only one left! But the house was empty and when we arrived there no lights on the driveway or the house, so we were about to leave and thought we should knock then someone answered the door. We did book late in the day but why say be quick lady booking! If there was no one else there? Whilst the bed was comfy there were no locks on our doors and no keys given even though I asked, and we had to potentially share a bathroom which I did not expect from a luxury price. Whilst the couple tried to be nice, I was not comfortable at all with the high price and lack of breakfast. We were trapped financially because of late booking and couldn’t change because of the penalty . Then I saw on conditions no meals included! After the money was taken! I think they need some assistance with running their systems. Not a good reflection on them nor on booking.com and not good for the customer. No key? Never had that before. It was not a luxury lodge and we didn’t get luxury treatment. False advertising. What about consumer guarantees act? Not good for tourism. We have used bnbs a lot so are experienced in them around the world. As I say, some attention support and advice to the owners and a reassessment of their service would be a good idea.

Pros: Great view. Lovely house and garden.
Cons: It was advertised as a lodge. This was not true. It was definitely a B&B. We did not feel we had enough privacy or enough independent relaxation space.I had to phone the night before when I read it was a shared bathroom which was not the case in our situation.
2.5 Mediocre
Pros: DO NOT STAY HERE. These people are scammers, this is NOT a 5 star hotel. It is a couple of people renting rooms out of their house.
Cons: AVOID THIS PLACE!!! This place is not at all what it is advertise to be. This is not a 5 star hotel, it is a couple of people renting rooms from their house. There are no signs to find the place and is up a driveway with a sign saying private access. There was one bathroom to 3 rooms, no locks on the doors and very little privacy. There were dying blow flies,mon the window sills, the rooms smelled musty, no kitchenette and nothing 5 star about this accomodation. We couldn't even go to our car without having to walk through their house. There was nothing relaxing about this environment, we felt like we were being constantly watched. We felt so out of place and uncomfortable and unsafe and had to take our belongings with us when we went out for fear that someone would come into the room when we were out. The thought of spending the night made us so uncomfortable that we ended up leaving to stay with a friend. The woman who lives there demanded to know why we were leaving and then wasn't going to let us leave without signing something, which we refused to do. And yet got charged $259 for a room we didn't use. Steer clear of this place!!!!
4.3 Okay
Pros: Nice people.
Cons: Paid $297 because nothing else available in Blenheim or Picton, my fault. So, this is an upstairs two bedroom BnB with a charged breakfast should you choose to order. No key to the front door so if you go out you have to knock to get back in. There is no ensuite, you walk across an open area to get to your well appointed modern bathroom. Bathroom - well, the toilet was disgusting and I had to clean the mess myself. Later at night wanted a glass of water. Found two 50 cent plastic cups in the cupboard, with toothpaste (I hope) residue in them. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room but no milk in the common fridge outside your room. Some bottled water or snacks would have been nice for $297!! Neither the bedroom or bathroom doors closed, both needed the deadbolt to be used as the normal latch was stuck on both. There's no table in the room, only a wall mounted desk, so if you want a drink or some food you make do. Small TV for the money.

5.0 Okay
Pros: The view looking over Blenheim was beautiful. The hosts were very welcoming.
Cons: This is NOT a ‘luxury lodge’ and is poorly represented. by the 5 star rating. This is a bedroom in a private house where you do not have access to other parts. There is a small bolt on the inside of the door but no key so couldn’t lock room from outside therefore didn’t feel secure in leaving room unattended. The price paid for what was exorbitant especially without breakfast. The room was clean & large however after paying $360 for a ‘luxury’ room we encountered the following: - dead insects and cobwebs in bathroom - opened and half used complimentary toiletries - seriously offensive - bed was hard and no luxury bedding - pine bed head was supported by a piece of styrofoam to reduce damage to wall - notepad was a couple of sheets of A4 paper and even one torn in half to save money I expect - tea and coffee was presented in used coffee jar with evidence of multiple users - even though advertising use of laundry we were not shown this facility therefore uncomfortable asking to use - no emergency evacuation information or signage We have stayed at other accommodation and paid considerably less with more comfort and better facilities. Should add the only reason we stayed was because it was the only room available in Blenheim on that night! Would not recommend.

Pros: Fantastic scenery! Very friendly host, room is big!
Cons: Dining in the mansion is very enjoyable and convenient, however, I expect the food to be better to match the environment and the price.
