Michele and Patrick Van den Heuvel
Welcome to our recently renovated two-room accommodation, attached to our main home but private with its own entrance and parking up the driveway. Separated by locked doors and a hallway, this space offers the perfect balance of comfort and seclusion. Perfect for one or two people but with the sofa bed (double) we can accommodate 2 couples or a couple of small children. The rooms are bright and airy and stylishly furnished, along with a modern ensuite and great heating/cooling system We offer free WiFi along with a great TV which has Netflix and Disney+ to name a few
My husband and I have been renovating houses for the last 20 years, originally from Christchurch we spent 7 years in Blenheim then relocated to Wanganui for 7 yrs and return to Blenheim end of May 2023. We love socializing with friends, cycling, walking and playing Squash along with a love of gardening. We have always wanted to host people in our home and this design has allowed us to do so.
Located right in the heart of Blenheim, you will have easy access to everything this charming town has to offer. Just a 5 minute walk to Redwoodtown shopping centre which includes a supermarket, chemist, beautiful bakery, restaurants including Mexican, Indian, Chinese/ Fish n Chips. Also a laundromat etc Whether you are here for wine country adventures or a relaxing getaway, we look forward to hosting you.
