This boutique hotel offers a new owner the opportunity to combine a healthy and diverse lifestyle with an interesting and profitable business which naturally scales down during winter, allowing for a holiday.

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.

Offers from $2,500,000 plus GST (if any)

On this dark, cloudy, rainy day, i thought it appropriate to expand on one of the key issues that I stand for: better communication between Council and our community. Clear away the clouds.
Quality information needs to be more accessible and effective two-way communication between Council and our community actually needs to happen.
* generic responses are simply not good enough if our community has taken the time to research, participate in consultation or present to council.
* get Q&A documents out for all major issues affecting our district and make these easily accessible - we shouldn't have to spend hours online trying to find information.
* communicate constantly and at the right time.
The existing breakdown in communication between Council and our community needs to change urgently. We live in a special place, and we all have a right to be better informed on issues and decisions that affect our home.
