These are lovely hosts, it was an honor to be with them. They have arranged this "retreat" to be just that. This is a fine experience, in a lovely land, with two incredible hosts, as much as I hate to give the secret away, if you are going there with you vehicle from the North, this is a Gem, really a great experience, I thank them both, we stayed going and coming back...... we were lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The hosts built two wonderful cottages about 5 years ago. They are spacious and very tastefully decorated. Bed is super comfortable. The grounds have lovely gardens. The hosts brought breakfast to our cottage in the morning which was great. The nearby town has great restaurants. The Retreat is a bit off the main road, but that makes the seclusion all the better. You will see sheep out the back window! If you want a first class experience in the heart of wine country, this is the place to be!

Extremely hospitable hosts and immaculately presented, slightly quirkily themed accomodations. Great spot to stop or stay a while and handy to berry farms north of Blenheim.

Close to town, but very private. Breakfasts far better than advertised not continental but beautiful cooked fresh home grown produce and eggs. Owners great hosts and we were invited into their home three times to watch the Rugby world cup on the big screen (even at 4am) whist consuming hot muffins and coffee. Just superb. . Would always stay again. Cheers Mel.

Beautiful gardens surrounding the spacious cottage. Hosts are genuinely friendly, informative and helpful. Only stayed one night so didn’t get to enjoy the pool (or the pool table and bar), but will definitely come back if spending some nights in the region

We absolutely loved our stay. Dave and Helen were amazing hosts and made us feel very welcome. Our place was very clean, beautifully furnished with a hunting flare throughout. The beds were very comfortable. The surrounding gardens were nothing short of magnificent. Dave and Helen even let our 3 grandchildren swim in their pool. We highly recommend the Jolly Poacher Retreat. A&C Campion, Victoria , Australia

Must stay
Loved our 2 nights staying at Fishing cottage. Perfect for a couple or family of 4. Brand new purpose built cottage with all the 5 star amenities. Comfy beds, fresh cooked eggs for breakfast. Absolutely beautifully decorated. A big thank you to hosts Dave & Helen who made our stay really special. Ruth
