My sister and I turned up at the Blenheim i-site as it was about to close one day at the end of February and asked if they could find us a twin room for three nights - we'd had a skydive in Motueka postponed due to the weather and thought that winery visits were something that we could do no...

My sister and I we're touring New Zealand as an extension of my 40th birthday celebrations and came accross the Dry Olive through the Blenheim i-site. What a find!

We spent two nights at this lovely property nestled among some vines and olive trees. We were in the room labelled as a b&b which is a wing of the main property. We had so much space as we were only a couple and had two immaculate bedrooms, a superb bathroom and excellent kitchen and lounge area. The hosts make... More

Our party of six adults stayed for three nights. Very clean and comfortable accommodation with everything we needed. Tim arrived on Saturday night bearing some beautiful olive oil and bread for dipping (I suspect prepared by Kerry) which was a nice touch. Easy walk to Lawsons Dry Hills for wine tasting. Kerry was also kind enough to drive us into... More
