Near the wineries we wanted to visit, but quiet and pretty. It started to rain heavily, so we didn’t get to try the hot tub, but it looked like a perfect spot to relax.

Would come back anytime.
Mandy is a great hostess. Welcoming and knowledgeable, she is a great source of information about wineries, restaurants and other local businesses. Antares is a little paradise surrounded by vineyards. Great B&B.

Great place to stay in Marlborough wine country
We had a fantastic stay here! Mandy and Patrick are the consummate hosts and took such good care of us. Mandy recommended restaurants and wineries to visit and even booked us a fantastic tasting at Hans Hertzog which is right across the street. We had a bedroom and bath and the use of a full kitchen and living area right next to it. Many prepared delicious breakfasts for us and all the best wineries are within biking distance. They have a pool that was very pretty but we were too busy touring around to use it. I heartily recommend Antares Home Stay.

Blenheim stay near the river
Property was homely on a large piece of land that gave a calm feeling of getting away from it all. Beautiful views of vineyards and hills. We stayed in the loft apartment with 2 rooms, bathroom, lounge with deck and kitchenette. There were 2 rooms underneath us, yet they did not have guests staying at the time. The main house was far enough away for privacy - a pool and spa is alsoavailable for guest use. We were able to catch up on washing using laundry downstairs. Mandy looks after her guests well with some staple foods, fruit available (fresh peaches from the trees) and even made us beautiful homemade muffins for afternoon tea. The only hitch was the air conditioning unit was rather old and did not immediately work so we had a cool evening and morning, Patrick came to look at it and eventually it did work for the next day.
