We enjoyed two nights to catch our breath at Henry Maxwell's B&B in Blenheim, NZ. Each morning we woke for 8:00 am breakfast served in the dining room. B&B owner Graham and his assistant Andre cooked a delicious full breakfast to order for ourselves and the three other guests. The host also kindly offered a small decanter of port in... More

I was lucky to get a single room one night over the weekend of the grape ride cycle race and was really pleased with the standard. Henry Maxwell's is definitely the best B&B I stayed in New Zeland. Graham picked me up from the bus and showed me all the best places to eat later on. The room was immaculate... More

I have stayed at Henry Maxwell probably 6 or more times over the summer of 2011/2012, mostly by myself on business but sometimes with my partner. You would find it hard to find more friendly welcoming hosts - the property itself is very interesting as a two storied older home, very comfortable and quiet. Highly recommended.

This has to be one of the best stays in our trip in South Island. The owners Diana and Graham were very kind to upgrade us to the Flower Room, their biggest room. The room was very spacious and beautiful, exactly as shown in the website. The room and bathroom were very clean and everything was working well (hot water,... More

Wonderful owners! Wonderful place! Great rooms, good food, walking distance to just about everything. No charge for WiFi.

We stayed two nights, one in the Blue Room, and then one in the Garden Room. Both come with en suite modern baths. Fresh linens, soaps provided, plenty of hot water. Graham is a fount of information about restaurants and sights, and we observed him helping make tour arrangements for a non-English speaking guest even. We enjoyed the diversity of... More

We stayed in this B&B for 1 night on our way to Picton to catch the Ferry for the North Island. The inside of the house is quaint and slightly old fashioned but our room was clean and large. We were given free internet access and use of the house computer which was very handy. Breakfast in the morning was... More

Henry Maxwell’s have the B&B business really figured out. It’s a beautiful house with a lovely yard and was so easy to find. The blue room we stayed in was equipped with a modern bath. The bed was a little squishy, but we slept well. Rooms are clean and appear to be freshly painted. We ordered our breakfast (for the... More

My wife and I stayed at this place for two nights at the end of February and would generally agree with all the positive comments. In particular we appreciated the free WiFi. However, our experience was marred by an almost unbelivable event as follows: Between the two nights we were out of our room from about 9.30 AM to 5.30... More
