On arrival here we were warmly welcomed by our hosts Paulette and John who showed us to our room with a view then made us welcome with tea and homemade cookies (to die for!) Our room had a balcony looking out over the mountains and vineyards and was one of the very best places we stayed whilst in NZ. Everything... more

Thank you - we were very impressed. John and Paulette both made us feel very welcome and gave us excellent advice. The room was clean and comfortable (with an attention for detail); breakfast was great. It's a pity we didn't stay longer. more

We stayed here for a few nights on our honeymoon and it was my husband's favourite place of the trip. Paulette and John 's hospitality was outstanding and John was very knowledgeable about wine, which vineyards to visit, etc. They both had so many great recommendations for the rest of our trip also. The house is quite large, so you... more

We stayed at Paulette and John's after reading the reviews on trip advisor and we couldn't agree more that this was a fantastic place to stay.

Lovely home in great location, in the middle of a vineyard. Alfresco breakfast was excellent and evening meal with hosts and other guests was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. Service was great, with hosts happy to provide transport to/from wine tasting at other vineyards. more

We stayed at Stonehaven for one night. The location is beautiful, set in the middle of vineyards and with a garden maintained by John around the house. The location seemed to be quite convenient for vineyard visiting as well, halfway between Blenheim and Renwick. The house is pretty new and quite well-maintained. The rooms are spacious and well-appointed, and the... more

All the superlatives posted here about Stonehaven Homestay proved to be true when we stayed for two days.....in addition, I must emphasise what good fun John and Paulette are and what a laugh we all had despite the rain! Cloudy Bay certainly lived up to its name! I would strongly recommend eating dinner with them for a great evening. more
