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.

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)

I have a reasonable amount of well established Roses of various types in my garden, and I'm planning to dig them all out (not my type of thing).
It seems a shame to just dump them - so if anyone would like them, feel free to come and dig them out!
I will try to take photos, but as they aren't in bloom, not sure what you can tell about them other than they have thorns that hurt :)
Update - seems I have enough takers - I will mark as taken once all are dug up

Small Freezer Wanted - to buy or rent

Gerald from The Wood

I am looking for a small freezer to use while I am looking after a DOC campsite for a month next summer. No shops nearby so having a freezer would make my menu much more interesting!

The smaller the better so I can transport it in my van and plug in when I get there.

Thanks
