Only 10 minutes drive away from Blenheim central, unwind in a 2 bedroom cottage surrounded by native trees. You can feed the alpacas and take a leisurely walk around the privately owned riverside conservation area. The large windows facing out to native trees provide a nice green outlook. Enjoy a light breakfast with locally made bread and homemade preserves. Both rooms are at opposite ends of the retreat they are dual purpose, the queen room has a TV and sofa and the super king room has a dining table. Kitchenette and bathroom in middle of retreat. A private garden with deck off the super king room provides you with outdoor seating and garden plus your our own access to the protected riverside conservation area.
We are Jamie and Joanna, we welcome you to stay at our paradise, Opaoa River Sanctuary! We love having people enjoy our place as much as we do. We are experienced travellers and enjoy living a more sustainable life. we cannot wait to meet you :)
We are situated at the end of the road, 10 minutes drive from Blenheim. When walking around our wetland and lifestyle farm, there are lovely views of the hills, on a clear day you can see the North Island. The area has lots of trees and birds of all kinds.
