Beautiful establishment in peaceful surroundings only a 20 minute boat ride from Picton. Once there you can swim, walk, kayak, feed visiting stingrays and eels and explore the underwater marine observatory. Whether just visiting for the day or staying in the lovely accommodation you will get a warm welcome from everyone on the team. The food is excellent and the pamper session in the Bath house luxurious.

Blenheim isn't all vineyards, there are other aspects to this place too. We really enjoyed our visit here to this small but interesting gallery in the centre of town. There is a feature about the commemorations of the arrival of the European settlers and some of the many issues this raises especially from a Māori perspective. The exhibition features some stunning short films (it would be even better with some seating to watch these from). The small shop is excellent too.
