Whether you are a solo traveller, couple, family or small group, if you are seeking tranquility and a beautiful location to discover the vineyards of Marlborough from, I cannot recommend Cloudy Bay Views enough.

Although a B+B, it has luxury and service at five star level and this is delivered by the friendliest proprietors I have had the pleasure to encounter, they couldn't have done more to make my stay more enjoyable.

As the Marlborough wine and mussel tour companies will usually pick you up from here, then you don't always need to bother with driving, as the tranquility does mean it is 11km outside of the main town of Blenheim. I didn't have a car and this didn't hinder my enjoyment at all!

This is a wine lovers' haven, with views from floor to ceiling length windows overlooking the vines down to the infamous Cloudy Bay. Check out their website www.cloudybayviews.co.nz to get the first glimpse of the views for yourself. more
