ACCOMMODATION IN MARLBOROUGH
A place to rest, restore, & explore
Wake to morning light spilling across the vines, gardens at your doorstep, & the Richmond Ranges on the horizon
Secluded yet central, Eliza’s Garden Cottage is located a couple of hundred metres from Welton House — just 5 minutes from Blenheim’s restaurants and cellar doors, and 20 from the Sounds.
Marlborough vineyard accommodation perfectly placed for both retreat and adventure.
Designed for easy living
Open-plan rooms bring the outside in, framing vineyard and mountain views from every angle. Step onto the terrace, sink into a secret garden nook, or drift poolside — a place for summer afternoons, starlit BBQs, and cosy winter evenings curled by the fire or soaking in the wood-fired hot tub.
