This welcoming three bedroom airy home features a light filled living room, a well equipped kitchen, an al fresco dining terrace with Weber BBQ, and a fully fenced private pool. With generous outdoor living and easy access to Marlborough’s wineries, walking trails and Blenheim Eliza’s is the perfect Marlborough vineyard accommodation for couples, families or friends. Named one of Bookabach's '2025 Baches of the Year', Eliza’s is a romantic and luxurious vineyard cottage set within an acre of established garden on a private Marlborough farm. You have exclusive use of your own swimming pool and beautiful views of the vines and Richmond Ranges, only minutes from Blenheim, Picton and the Ferry Terminal. Inside, the cottage blends timeless charm with modern comfort. Every room looks onto vineyards, gardens or hills, with dramatic evening light and clear, starry night skies. The open plan kitchen, dining and living areas flow directly to the terrace, BBQ, pool and garden - an easy space to cook, read, relax or enjoy shared meals in a peaceful rural setting, yet close to Blenheim’s restaurants, cafés and tasting rooms. Eliza’s sits within a New Zealand Garden of National Significance, shaped over decades through Kaitiakitanga/Guardianship and an ongoing commitment to the land. Staying here offers a rare chance to immerse yourself in one of the country’s most beautiful private gardens - wander the woodland serenaded by birds, notice the changing colours through the year, and relax on inviting seating in areas designed for connection to nature. Your stay includes generous, complimentary homemade full country breakfast provisions: • Free-range eggs, fruit, vegetables and nuts from the farm. • Freshly baked walnut bread. • Homemade jams and jellies. • A chilled bottle of award winning wine from our vineyard The cottage has been thoughtfully created for comfort and luxury with: • Exceptionally comfortable beds with crisp white cotton sheets and goose down bedding. • Locally made bathroom amenities and fluffy white robes. • Fresh flowers in every room. • A very well-equipped kitchen plus all pantry essentials. • Full laundry and washing necessities. • Books, art, antiques and natural materials throughout Guests enjoy exclusive access to the private pool, gardens, outdoor games and all cottage spaces. The farm includes 100 acres of vineyard and land where you can walk, run or explore in complete peace and privacy. Our small team works discreetly when maintaining the grounds, respectful of your space. Pets are welcome - dogs especially love exploring the vineyard and garden paths. Eliza’s embraces sustainability and a natural pace of life - seasonal produce, bird and wildlife, the joy of being outdoors whilst being pampered by thoughtful hosting. Breakfast ingredients are mostly gathered from the property or locally, and the gardens are managed using environmentally conscious methods. Guests often remark that just being there is what makes their stay special. We live 500 metres down the road in a separate farmhouse, available if you need anything while ensuring complete privacy. With our local knowledge, we’re always happy to recommend wineries, walks, swimming spots, scenic drives and dining. The best local pub and craft brewery is a short stroll from the cottage. Our home garden at Welton House is also a New Zealand Garden of National Significance. Over the years it has appeared in books, magazines and international garden tours, and has become well known in the horticultural world. While it’s not part of the cottage stay, our Eliza's guests are welcome to visit free of charge at their leisure. It offers a sense of the wider landscape and the history that surrounds Eliza’s. Professionally hosted since 2011, Eliza’s has become a much loved place to stay, recognised through awards, garden features and guests who return year after year.

It’s perfectly located in the middle of the majority of the wineries and sits on a gorgeous piece of property. The garden is spectacular and the view is picturesque - we loved having so much space to relax and enjoy after exploring all day. Wendy prepared yummy bread and stocked the fridge/pantry with breakfast items for our stay. It was wonderful to have breakfast items all set for us the next morning after we traveled for many hours the day before. And, the kitchen has everything you need to prepare any type of meal! The house itself is a great size, especially for two adults. The living area is cozy with windows in all directions so you can enjoy the views. It was great to have an air conditioner and heater - we experienced all sorts of weather, so we were very comfortable during the day and night. The house also has a large washer & dryer which came in handy! Wendy was a great communicator and always quick to respond. She gave us helpful hints for local restaurants and which wineries to visit. Whatever we needed, she was available immediately and eager to make us happy. We’d definitely stay at Wendy’s home again and highly recommend others to reserve it when visiting Blenheim! ##### John S.

Wendy’s extra touches were just incredible. Hone made bread (I really need the recipe), tiny, jewel- like preserves she makes herself and eggs from her chooks. The tour of the magnificent garden surrounding her own house was an added bonus. Pudding the sheep was a highlight. I can’t recommend Wendy’s place highly enough ##### Lesley H. Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Oliver H. 22 Jan 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful cottage Eliza's cottage is one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. Located in stunning vineyard scenery, it is wonderfully quiet and private yet only a short drive to central Blenheim. From the moment you arrive, you'll be spoilt by the owner's thoughtful touches. Bread, wine, and breakfast condiments on arrival, a daily newspaper delivered to your door, a fully equipped kitchen, different coffee varieties - it's all there. Lemon and orange trees in the garden invite you to make your own fresh juice. There is a small pool in the backyard as well as a large garden for outdoor games. Our stay was a dream, and we will certainly be back. ##### Oliver H.

We almost don't want to share this little gem in case it gets too popular as we will definitely stay here again. The extras like the freshly baked artisan bread, neighbourhood eggs, homemade jams etc etc... just add to the incredible experience and value. The gardens and view.. glorious and your host makes you feel like its your home. Its got everything and its worth every cent. Don't hesitate to stay here, you won't regret it. :) ##### dasd a.

C'est LA location à retenir si vous souhaiter visiter la région ! La maison et l'accueil méritent plus que 5 étoiles ! Wendy est une personne généreuse qui nous a réservé un accueil très chaleureux et qui nous a donné de bons conseils de visites. La maison est magnifique, tout confort et très bien équipée. De plus, elle est entourée par un immense jardin très agréable. Notre seul regret c'est de n'avoir pas eu assez de temps pour pouvoir échanger avec Wendy. ##### Erwan L.

An amazing garden to watch the sunset over the vineyards. We took our dog for a sunrise walk through the vineyards as well. The cottage is easy to find with easy access to the Picton Ferry and the wineries of Blenheim. As we loaded the car and pulled away my wife said "you know we are coming back." ##### Chris C.

The very tasteful apartment has everything you need with fantastic views of both the port and the hills. With great cafes and restaurants literally on our doorstep we loved experiencing the youthful vibe of this lovely part of Christchurch. Liam is a thoughtful host. It’s a very high recommendation from us. ##### dasd a.

The attention to detail and levels of comfort make this the ultimate 'home away from home'. Would definitely recommend. ##### David H.
