The staff was friendly, and although our room patio faced the garage, the room was super comfortable and the patio area usable. We enjoyed our glasses of wine in the patio area. If you want a better view and privacy it’s best to book a balcony. I liked how close it was to some of the best tasting rooms and culinary experiences in Blenheim :)
