Vin View Pet Lodge is a boarding kennel and cattery at 235 Chaytors Road in Spring Creek, Blenheim, set in countryside among vineyards and trees. Dogs stay in a communal kennel, with most of the space for social dogs that are comfortable with other dogs. Dogs that need their own space can stay in small independent chalets. Cats stay in individual apartments or units in a small boutique cattery, which the website says is not communal. A few rabbits and guinea pigs stay in individual runs. Dogs must be registered with the Marlborough District Council, and dogs from Kaikoura, Nelson and the West Coast can be boarded subject to availability. Opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 10am and 3pm to 5pm, Saturday 8am to 10am, and Sunday 3pm to 5pm, with no out-of-hours drop-off or pick-up. Phone 03 570 2218 or 021 078 0600. The website says the lodge will be closed for boarding from 1 May 2027 to 30 May 2027.
Reviewers praise the owner's care and communication, and say their dogs were well looked after and known individually. One customer whose two dogs stayed about a month while they were in Europe says the kennels were warm through a cold winter, and that the dogs were in great condition when they were collected.
