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.

The friend said the sergeant implied the incident wasn't important, and she questions "What do you do if they don't take something like this seriously - if someone takes someone's identity and starts clocking up tens of thousands of dollars - where are we heading as a society?".
It is the second time in less than a week Police have apologised for not handling a burglary correctly.

Sadly, the whales didn't survive, but have you ever been in a situation where you could help rescue whales?

On it’s 6th year, this auction just keeps growing in size and support and we know we have the perfect recipe for a great night. It’s going to be interactive and fun. Salmon on the menu and a couple of bottles for wine on your table, all for $50 it wouldn’t make sense to miss this event. Then there is the earlybird pricing at just $450 for a table of 10 available up until 21st Sept or SOLD OUT.
With Local lawyer extraordinaire Rick Palmer in the box seat, and Sabine Davison, expert auctioneer from Bayleys in the North, our Principal Sponsor for this event it will be seat of your pants stuff. The very fabulous Allie Mooney will also be regaling us with her latest work in her entertaining and halrious way!
Keeping to tradition we have 120 items in a silent auction with our screens being able to be viewed from your seat…trying to beat the person bidding against you becomes a game of cat and mouse. Our nurses especially love attending this event, the comraderie and generosity they see is really incredibly humbling - it brings out the best in people. It’s also our 30th year operating in the Mid North too – which is just pretty special!
With a new addition of a ‘Buy Now’ table we have been squirrelling away some pretty fantastic items. There is absolutely something for everyone…..From an eclectic range of English Butter Dishes that are making a huge comeback, to some beautiful jewellery from Tiffany & Co.
We also celebrate the contribution that Northern Regional Correctional Facility Art’s Programme will gift for this event, another fantastic community relationship that supports us with some donated items.
For ticket/table enquiries please contact the office on (09) 407 7799 or email Adele at fundraising@hospicemn.org.nz
