“Excellent, really nice view. Probably the best place to stay in Malborough!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 August 2010

We really enjoyed our stay at this bed and breakfast and we even decided to stay one day longer. The hosts are very friendly and helpful. The breakfast is great, the rooms are nice, but do not expect anything fancy.
The view over the vineyards is amazing and very centrally located in malborough and close to the vineyards. We would recommend this B&B to everybody!!!!

“Beautiful location, lovely room & great food”

We loved Omaka Heights with its resident alpacas, beautiful outlook and very comfortable rooms. The views from the panoramic french windows of our room and the communal guest area were superb over the alpaca pastures, the vineyards to the distant mountains. Our host were discrete but very helpful, the food was lovely and plentiful. Highly recommended. We used this as our last stay on South Island before we flew from Benheim to Wellington. This has to be the best way to cross the Cook Strait, rather than the 3 hour ferry ride but, if you do, don't miss visiting Picton which is a lovely spot.

“Wonderful view!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 February 2010

Our stay at Omaka Heights was wonderful. We had an incredible view from our room where we would enjoy the sunset with a bottle of wine each night. Nancy and Robin are great hosts. It was such a comfortable and cozy place to stay- we felt like we were staying with family. It was also fun to learn about the alpacas..We would recommend this place to anyone.

“Wonderful views and alpacas too!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 January 2010

A lovely B+B up on a marlborough hillside and overlooking the vineyards. The owners have a herd of alpacas and are a treasure trove of information on all things alpaca, as well as providing local advice about the best vineyards, places to eat, etc. A welcoming glass of wine and a cheese plate on arrival continued with a wonderful breakfast the following day. Our only regret is that we could only stay one night but we will return.

“The best place we stayed in NZ”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 February 2009

person found this review helpful

This is definitely a 5 star experience. The rating system won't allow me to select 'excellent' - maybe a bug in the system.

We were warmly welcomed by Robin and Nancy Taylor who readily provided all the necessary advice regarding restaurants and sightseeing.

Facilities here are superb with two very large bedrooms with a small living area with television, fridge, and sink and comfortable chairs.

Breakfasts were magnificent, cooked to order with choice of eggs poached, fird or scrambled.

An added attraction was the Alpacas which could be watched being handfed.

Definitely a place to come back to. The ensuite for the handicapped was much appreciated.
