Anna 
“Great property - handy location to central Blenheim and a beautiful country setting.”
A fantastic layout for a family or group. Well equipped. We loved our stay.

Anthony “Property was ideal for our family gathering of 11 guests.”
Unfortunately I need to comment on a number of items that occurred during our stay plus some safety issues. On arrival my Daughter could not get access to the house as the digital front door lock would not accept the 4 digit code I was given. Fortunately the Holiday Manager Eveline Apthorp turned up and gave a new code to enter the house. On the first night we had no hot water as the circuit breaker on the Distribution Board was off. Eveline was called out to resolve the situation arround 9.30pm. During our stay we could not get the TV to work we called out Eveline who found that the TV remote batteries needed replacing. All showers had safety issues as the shower floors were slippery and there wasnt a crip bar/handle to help support the user. Also the shower to the separate out building did not drain well causing some minor overflow onto adjacent floor coverings. The was no access hand rail to the steps to the side door entrance deck. There was evidence that the original hand rail had broken and has not been replaced. Appart from the above the house is spacious, has comfortable sleeping arrangements and is well equiped. Would recommend Botham House for a group wanting to sleep up to 12 people with plenty of room and is handy to all that Blenheim has to offer.

Robert “Regal Property What a total surprise to find in the Marlborough region, a large house with separate accommodation for two if required.”
I say this was a total surprise as there are no real Hotel options or alternatives locally in such a central position that would've been comparable for comfort. We were there for one reason, wine tastings (which also didn't disappoint) and this house seems to be absolutely ideally positioned. The house was fresh and clean with the photos online depicting exactly what was seen. If anyone is looking for a base to stay while visiting this area look no further. We will definitely return in the future.
- Robert, November 2023Bruce “On entering the property 2 members tripped at the top of the steps onto the decking.”
On observation the step up to the deck is taller than the previous step. A sign on the step (mind this step) with a hand rail on both sides should help prevent serious injury. One of the heater towel rail has wires protruding and is loose from its fitting. The lounge suite though looks good but is uncomfortable for those with short feet, Another couch would help plus more cushions. There is only 2 mirrors in the whole place, each room must have a mirror. All the double beds had only 1towel / face cloth? where 2 are required, plus a chair or raised unit for baggage as older people don't overstretch themselves? Externally, delightful surroundings a gem of a place.

Philip “The property was fantastic for an extended family.”
Well resourced and spacious with 2 large living areas and outdoor spaces.
- Philip, June 2023Lauren “The house was beautiful.”
The water was not drinkable I think drinking water should be provided. The heater was not working in the mornings. There was a communication breakdown with Bachcare which resulted in no porta cot for my baby. When asked to provide the details of the email sent to me to advise this they couldn’t which was pretty disappointing. Overall we had a lovely stay house is really lovely would stay again. Just a few things for feedback.
- Lauren, April 2023Thank you for your review Lauren, we're glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Botham's Beauty. We apologise for the lack of communication you experience with our Support team and will address this. The water is drinkable at the property, however owners are aware of this issue and are looking to improve this. With regards to heating, there are the wood fires and DVS/HRV heat transfer system built in to the house and electric heaters provided which are plug ins. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future! Bachcare
Cydnie “Highly recommend this gorgeous home!”
We felt like we were in paradise! It has been beautifully styled and has been so well kept. It is so spacious and has a lovely outdoor area with a huge back yard with fruit trees. We will definitely be back!
- Cydnie, March 2023Kathryn “All lovely but the sinks in the en-suite are blocked and need attention.”
- Kathryn, February 2023Thank you for your review Kathryn. At Bachcare we take cleaning very seriously and have strict guidelines in place to maintain our high standards. We are sorry in this case this was not what you experienced. We will follow up on this with our local team along with any other maintenance that may be required. Bachcare
