The Perfect B&B to bring the old Battle Axe!

The Perfect B&B to bring the old Battle Axe!

Fancy a fling? Do you dream of sneaking away for the weekend and throwing the old battle axe for a loop? Or do you fantasise of the flight of Cupid’s arrows? Look no further than Dartington Barn. Indulge yourself in their romantic and secluded bed and breakfast, situated in the heart of Marlborough – the wine and food capital of New Zealand. Allow the grapes and culinary treasures to fuel your wildest passions.

Proprietors Hamish and Angie Beard converted Dartington Barn from a once popular wedding venue into a private home and exclusive bed & breakfast. This romantic B&B offers the exclusivity of a single, well-appointed room with ensuite and private guest entrance. But if you think this is the only thing that makes it unique, then think again.

As the only known B&B in the southern hemisphere to offer a full array of archery, axe throwing, and knife and star throwing equipment – including their own axe throwing wall made of vertically placed pine sleepers, Dartington Barn offers rest and relaxation, with a unique stress-busting activity. Hamish is a level one archery coach and offers an archery experience to guests (including use of equipment) for no extra charge. He’s also an avid fisherman who can give great advice on the best fishing spots along the Wairau River. Superb golfing is also a stone’s throw (or axe throw, with some practice) away with two excellent golf courses nearby. And, if you fancy some exercise that captures the best Marlborough has to offer, Dartington Barn can arrange scenic bike tours of the local wineries. No matter your passions, they’ll make sure you stay entertained with the wide range of activities available in the region.

As qualified professional chefs, Hamish and Angie are particularly knowledgeable about the region’s best culinary offerings. Dartington Barn can offer you a truly memorable gourmet experience with behind the scenes tours of the wineries and local gourmet food producers or simply recommending the best restaurants to meet your particular tastes.

And, if you have a sweet tooth, you need go no further than their own kitchen where Dartington Barn's very own Florentines are a huge favourite. Hamish and Angie have been making these luxurious treats for the past ten years, using an old recipe from Angie's English pastry tutor. Share them in your room, or deliver them across New Zealand. The Florentines can be delivered by the full or half dozen and can be delivered anywhere in New Zealand. Beautifully presented in a gift box with personalised card attached, they make a wonderful gift or simply a treat for yourself.
