Description   Imagine stepping out of your room onto your own private verandah and looking out on a beautiful vineyard setting. Imagine a glass of wine in your hand on this same verandah, watching the sun go down. Straw bale construction, with double glazing and wood finishing combine to provide an extremely inviting place to escape to. Feeling energetic? Why not grab one of the Lodge's bikes and check out the surrounding area. Or take the Lodge's golf clubs to one of the nearby scenic courses. Not so energetic? Why not stroll the vineyard and observe the every day workings. Or perhaps enjoy some complimentary tasting of the vineyard's wine! If you can bring yourself to leave this oasis, there are many fine local restaurants to dine at in close proximity, making Straw Lodge the perfectly located Blenheim accommodation.
