Sue & Don couldnt have been more hospitable. They were a pleasure to be with and made us feel right at home. We wish we had more time to continue our stay. This is the best place we've stayed in NZ.

The welcome, hospitality, comfort and breakfasts could not be bettered - a great place to unwind and enjoy, and perfectly situated for Marlborough wine tasting. Sue was a mine of information on local attractions, and really made us feel at home. Stayed 28 Nov to 1 Dec 2007.

Sue and Don are warm and gracious hosts in their lovely home in the heart of the Marlborough wine country. Clovelly is a wonderful, relaxing place. Sue cooked what was perhaps the best breakfast I had in 6 weeks of staying in NZ B&Bs and included a box of chocolates for my 65th birthday. Since there are only two rooms, book ahead.

Fantastic hospitality. Don and Sue made us feel very much at home and gone to much trouble to be informative about the area and helpful with restaurant bookings and offering themselves as taxi drivers to various venues. 11/1/2004
