Antares Homestay

We were made very welcome by the hosts, Mandy & Patrick. The setting amongst the gardens, fruit trees and vineyard made our stay very relaxing. A hot tub is available for use outside. There was everything we needed for a very enjoyable stay including a lovely bedroom with views of the garden, a lounge/dining area and a small laundry/kitchen with a full sized fridge. Breakfast was delicious and the home made marmalade was amazing. Mandy is very knowledgeable about the local wineries and surrounding areas which was very helpful. Highly recommended and we intend to return!

Antares Homestay is a gem in the heart of the Marlborough wine country. The inn keeper Mandy is wonderful and focused on making guests feel like family. She greeted us and provided a tour of the property and amenities. We stayed in the blue room which was large and quiet. Options for either A/C or enjoying the breezes from the gardens and vineyards. The queen size bed was super comfy. Breakfast was freshly baked croissants, fruit, yoghurt, granola and eggs cooked to order if desired. The B&B had a small kitchen with appliances and fridge for some snacks that we had purchased. The gardens and ponds encourage exploring and walking with a glass of local wine. We also used bikes that were available to explore some of the nearby wineries. We plan to be back in New Zealand in the next year or so and will definitely stay here again! So many wineries to check out, but one that was fantastic and right across the street is Hans Herzog. Highly recommend booking a wine tasting there.

Trevligt boende mitt i vindistriktet. Mycket trevligt värdpar som tipsade oss både under vår vistelse och under vår fortsatta resa.
