I have just spent a few days at this most amazing accommodation. The Edwardian style villa and the hosts, Heidi and Werner Pluss, could not have been more welcoming. The breakfasts are delicious, the best scrambled or poached eggs amongst a comprehensive buffet. My room, the Venetian Suite, was most comfortable and spacious with a little veranda and access to...

Sometimes a place that have style and elegance can have a "cold" atmosphere. The Peppertree has style and elegance that would beat most top European old style establishments. But it also has hosts that have warmth and grace. This creates an atmoshere that feels like home. And you are made to feeel at home. At least, the type of home... More

I cannot describe this wonderful place without mentioning Werner and Heidi, great hosts. Their gentle attention, their discrete presence, their attitude towards their guests are an example for many hotels and B&B's we ever stayed. Beside great hosts, they are nice people that we would have love to get better - and we will try to stay here again in... More

This is a wonderful property. Quiet and rural -- with attentive hosts, Heidi & Werner. Located just outside Blenheim. Many environmentally-friendly features. Delicious home-cooked breakfasts, as well as wonderful wine from their own vineyard. Very relaxing. Suites are comfortable. Was our base for visiting the Marlborough Wineries.

Heidi was so helpful and gracious. Her breakfasts were the best! The accommodation is in a fantastic location, warm and quaint and comfortable. We loved it here. More

Heidi and Werner are delightful, charming and attentive hosts for whom nothing is too much trouble. They have created elegant accommodation within an original homestead building in lovely gardens just outside Blenheim. Each bedroom is furnished in a different style and colour seheme - the Venetian Room is exquisite and opens up onto a lovely little terrace in the garden.... More

No need to say more - I echo every word of the last review. We too did not want to eat out one evening and Heidi's cold platter was a treat, visually and in taste. We didn't want to leave after our three nights. More
