Best holiday house we have ever stayed in. Very well equipped, felt like home away from home. Very spacious, we traveled with two families (two couples and four children) and had separate spaces for each family on top of the lovely kitchen and living area which didn't lack of anything. We didn't have to bring toys, DVDs etc. and Kerry,... More

For the last 5 nights we have been fortunate to enjoy the hospitality of Kerry and her spacious luxurious cottage on the out skirts of Blenheim. This is a great place to wind down a bit and enjoy the bounties of this lovely area of New Zealand. We rated this property as a top mark on our DLASH holiday accommodation... More

From crisp mornings wandering through the olive grove with a coffee to cooking alfresco steak on the barbecue (with a well selected local wine of course) and dining outside on a warm evening, our stay at the Dry Olive was simply perfection! Our host Kerry was a wealth of local knowledge and suggestions of what to do in the area,... More

I have stayed at the Dry Olive 4 times now, in the cottage, and in the Olive Wing. All were faultless stays.

The rooms are fantastic, with books and DVDs, toys for the kids, nice linen and towels and wonderful products in the... More

Great accommodation, with every need thought of and friendly, helpful hosts. Highly recommended to others, great for a family with 2 bdrms. We only stayed one night, but the olive wing would also be great for longer stay travellers.

My family of 3 with a young child have now stayed here twice. We had such an excellent experience we didn't hesitate to book again this year. The location is on the fringes of the main town area ("downtown" being less than 5 min drive away) in a quiet, lovely residential area ringed by vineyards. We stayed in the B&B... More

We spent four lovely nights at Dry Olive Cottage. We were a family of five and everyone had plenty of space. We all enjoyed the comforts of home as Kerry has an eye for interior design. The cottage kitchen is well equipped for making meals at home We managed to entertain our friends (we were 10 all together) at the... More

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful quiet setting near the Dry Hills, Kerry was a wonderful host providing nibbles when we arrived and full of useful local information. Our appartment was very comfortable with views over the garden and the olive trees.
