Not handicap accessible.
This place was great. Pretty, good breakfast, good location. Except it is not handicap accessible. If I had known that there were stepp, irregular, slanted and long steps to front door without even a railing, I would not have booked. Also difficult if you habe heavy luggage. I think the fact that it isn't accessible should be in the description.

What a lovely B&B we had the house to ourselves,we were made to feel so welcome it is a home from home. Breakfast was amazing and plentiful. The on site bike hire is a bonus and free for guests, we loved our stay and would return happily, fantastic time.

Amazingly beautiful property, picture perfect with a gorgeous rose garden. Rooms are very comfortable, breakfast is delicious and the owners are really lovely people. The property is in a superb location to go explore the local wineries and provides bikes and helmets to go explore these on. Thoroughly recommend this property for a stay in this area.

Fabulous stay, location, hosts and food!
We had an amazing stay - our room was spotless and comfortable with a lovely little table out of the door. The hosts and breakfast were amazing and Theresa very kindly dropped us off at the start of our bike tour at our furthest point so we could maximize our time there to see all of the wineries. 10/10!!! Will return!

Well placed, quiet, lovely outlook
The Olde Mill B&B is set in a lovely terraced garden and the front room has an appealing outlook to nearby mountains. Breakfast was a very good selection of fruits, jams, toast, croissants and cereals, with great coffee. Extra amenities like the mini-kitchen for guests and outdoor BBQ were a bonus. Recommended for a comfortable stay in the Blenheim area.

We loved our stay here! New owners Ike and Teresa want to make your stay a special one. The rooms and grounds are beautiful, and we loved having access to the bikes. A soak in the spa was perfect after biking and sampling local wines. The breakfast is varied and plentiful, and we enjoyed visiting with the other guests. We were sad to leave!!

Great stay in Renwick
The Olde Mill was our best stay during our trip. We were met warmly by the hosts and our room was clean, quiet and comfortable. The included breakfast was plentiful and we especially enjoyed the home made granola. The included bikes were great for our day of riding and tasting in the vineyards, most of which were in the area and an easy ride from the B&B. Definitely a recommended stay.

This property was absolutely beautiful and it was just starting to be spring, hot tub was all to ourselves and the room was perfect. Janice and Mark are wonderfully accommodating and also very helpful for planning your day as they are South Island natives and have picked up a lot of advice from other travelers about what they liked and didn't like about other parts of the north and south island. The bike for hire was a super plus and also their cat Lauchie is good for pet withdrawal! Would highly suggest this place.

Feels like home
We arrived early, no problem. We had a coffee out front in the garden while we planned our route. We borrowed the bikes (for free) and did a 25 km bike ride to 7 wineries and a brewery. In the evening we relaxed in the hot tub. It was very close to town for supper. Breskfast was excellent. The owners are very friendly, accommodating and entertaining. It was a pleasure staying with them.

Perfect for visiting wineries
Mark and Janice are great hosts being very friendly and informative about where you can go in the area. They provides bikes for guests so you can cycle around the place visiting as many or as few wineries as you like. There are a large number that are within an easy cycle and the area is quite flat. They provide a lovely breakfast of fresh fruit, yogurt, cereals, croissants and Janice’s delicious preserves. Their garden provides most of the fruit for her jams. You will meet the other guests and share your stories over breakfast which is good fun. They have 3 rooms for guests and the room we were in was quite spacious with an en-suite. There isn’t a lot of pubs, restaurants or shops in Renwick but there is a pub called The Cork and Keg which provided a tasty meal and there is also a supermarket where you could buy some provisions. What is great about staying here is the great service that they provide by collecting you and dropping you off. In our case it was from the nearby airport.

Just had 2 nights with Mark and Janice at The Olde Mill House. They were the perfect hosts who made us feel very welcome.
