A very warm and welcome and a super comfortable stay awaits you at Tawny Hills Bed and Breakfast!

Your spacious, tiled ensuite bathroom has underfloor heating, spa bath, shower, bidet and toilet, vanity, heated towel rails, complimentary locally made toiletries and cotton waffle robes for your comfort and a touch of luxury. Relax on a private, sunny outdoor deck or shady garden pergola with a glass of wine or cup of coffee. The restful Queen room has a queen bed, TV, fridge and complimentary tea/coffee facilities and also has an outdoor deck. The lovely tiled ensuite bathroom has underfloor heating, heated towel rail, robes, shower, vanity and toilet and complimentary locally made toiletries. Importantly, privacy and security are assured with both rooms lockable from the rest of the house and having their own secure independent entrances. Delicious complimentary breakfast includes, juice, fresh and preserved fruit, cereal, yoghurt, toast, spreads, tea options and great coffee.
Our home has been custom built for bed and breakfast accommodation by Bruce, a retired builder and Gerrie has worked in both hospitality and social services. We love to welcome our guests and we'll be around to look after you and offer help and information about our wonderful province of Marlborough and beyond.
We are very near to Wither Hills farm park (a working farm) with public access to walking and cycling tracks, and the Taylor River reserve. The local hospital is 5 minutes away and not much further is the renowned Omaka Heritage Centre. The town centre is a short 10 minute 4.3 km drive away and we are 12 minutes from Marlborough airport.
