Each of the five beautifully appointed suites has been subtly themed, providing individual charm as well as comfort. In the heart of the lodge is a spacious, recently renovated farmhouse kitchen enjoying garden and orchard views. A large woodburner with wetback heats the water for a series of radiators around the house, ensuring year-round warmth.
Organically managed, the four-hectare property provides the ability to live from the land with honey, fruit trees, berry patches, vegetable gardens, olives and grazing for sheep, cattle and horses. The small Chardonnay vineyard with a careful selection of clones produces a succulent house wine thoroughly enjoyed by guests from all around the world.
A range of useful ancillary sheds and buildings offers space for projects, hobbies, storage and accommodation for staff. Other facilities on the property include a petanque court, croquet lawn and small gymnasium overlooking the swimming pool.
This extraordinarily diverse and unique lifestyle is ideally located on State Highway One, less than a five-minute drive from central Blenheim and 15 minutes from numerous winery cellar doors, restaurants and the airport.

Selling your home for the maximum price is about timing, and at certain times in the year there are sweet
spots in the marketplace, you could call this a perfect storm for a seller’s benefit.
Normally these moments are limited to 1-2 seasonal timings i.e. early January and late October.

spots in the marketplace, you could call this a perfect storm for a seller’s benefit.
Normally these moments are limited to 1-2 seasonal timings i.e. early January and late October.
Sometimes however, the market will present itself with unique opportunity gaps, which is what we have now. The factors that are causing this opportunity are:
- Available houses on the North Shore has decreased by 10% in the last 3 weeks, and is continuing a downward trend
leading into the Winter months.
- Imminent changes from the Reserve Bank in official Cash Rate (OCR) cut; combined with confirmation that Capital Gains Tax has been axed all bode well for buyer sentiment.
- Median house prices; Median house prices in Auckland remained exactly the same as April 2018 at $850,000 thus showing that values are stable.
This means that there is less seller competition in the marketplace and for the property buyers are purchasing with urgency. Provided a property is correctly marketed, this is resulting a successful sale result for sellers and the opportunity to move to their next dream home.
One of the unique ways that I help my clients is by using my experience in a large amount of renovation projects, to guide you on how to best present your home for your buyer target market, or opportunities for immense value to be added to the home.
If you are considering selling and would like to take advantage of this unique opportunity you can set up a time by reaching me on 021 339 905 or email me on bob.nahab@harcourts.co.nz. If you would just like to discuss the current market conditions a bit more, I’d also welcome your contact.

Try this Paprika Mayonnaise recipe to go with perfectly grilled burgers or even chips!
Paprika Mayonnaise (Makes approx. 150 ml)
Ingredients
1 egg yolk (room temperature)
1 pinch salt
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoons vinegar or lemon juice
125 ml canola oil (room temperature)
1 teaspoon paprika powder
Method
1. Place the yolk in a clean bowl.
2. Whisk in the salt and the lemon juice or vinegar, mustard.
3. While continuing to whisk, start pouring in oil, drop by drop.
4. Once the emulsion has begun to form, start adding the oil in a steady thin stream, whisking constantly.
5. When the sauce is thick, check seasoning.
6. Add one teaspoon paprika powder.
7. To thin, whisk in a little warm water or more vinegar.
Useful Tips
Mayonnaise may curdle there is too much oil, or if is added too quickly, or if the mixture is under-whisked. However, a curdled emulsion can be rescued by very gradually whisking it into either a fresh egg yolk or a spoonful of boiling water in a clean bowl.
To avoid oily-tasting mayonnaise use fresh oil which does not have a strong flavour. Canola and rice bran oil are two examples.
