From crisp mornings wandering through the olive grove with a coffee to cooking alfresco steak on the barbecue (with a well selected local wine of course) and dining outside on a warm evening, our stay at the Dry Olive was simply perfection! Our host Kerry was a wealth of local knowledge and suggestions of what to do in the area,... More

I have stayed at the Dry Olive 4 times now, in the cottage, and in the Olive Wing. All were faultless stays. Kerry is an incredible host, managing to find the perfect balance between friendly and helpful, and unobtrusive. The rooms are fantastic, with books and DVDs, toys for the kids, nice linen and towels and wonderful products in the... More

Great accommodation, with every need thought of and friendly, helpful hosts. Highly recommended to others, great for a family with 2 bdrms. We only stayed one night, but the olive wing would also be great for longer stay travellers.

My family of 3 with a young child have now stayed here twice. We had such an excellent experience we didn't hesitate to book again this year. The location is on the fringes of the main town area ("downtown" being less than 5 min drive away) in a quiet, lovely residential area ringed by vineyards. We stayed in the B&B... More

The cottage kitchen is well equipped for making meals at home We managed to entertain our friends (we were 10 all together) at the... More

Spent 2 nights in this beautiful quiet setting near the Dry Hills, Kerry was a wonderful host providing nibbles when we arrived and full of useful local information. Our appartment was very comfortable with views over the garden and the olive trees.

Our pilgrimage to Marlborough took us to the Dry Olive for an overnight stop in this most prolific wine growing region. Having lunched heartily at Herzog's, we arrived late afternoon to see Tim attending to his 70+ olive trees and the children playing alongside in the garden - a beautiful home in an idyllic setting. We were greeted jovially by... More
