One of Bookabach 2025 Baches of the Year, Eliza’s is a romantic and luxurious three-bedroom vineyard cottage set within an acre of secret garden on a private Marlborough estate. The cottage has its own exclusive use private swimming pool and beautiful vineyard and mountain views, only minutes from Blenheim, Picton and the Ferry Terminal.

It is the perfect space to cook, read, relax, and enjoy shared meals in a peaceful country setting, yet so close to Blenheim’s restaurants, cafés and tasting rooms and only around 20 minutes from Picton and the Ferry.

Eliza’s is set within a New Zealand Garden of National Significance, offering a rare opportunity to stay fully immersed in one of the country’s most beautiful private gardens. Wander the woodland paths, listen to the birdsong, enjoy seasonal blooms and wildlife, and discover a choice of quiet seating areas designed for calm and connection to nature.

Many guests find us through garden tours and magazine features over the years, which have highlighted the tranquillity and unique setting of the estate. We’re grateful for this recognition and love welcoming new visitors who discover Eliza’s through those stories.

The cottage has been thoughtfully curated for comfort and luxury:

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the private pool, gardens, outdoor games and all cottage spaces. The wider estate includes 100 acres of vineyard and farmland where you can walk, run or explore in complete peace and privacy. Our small team is very mindful of your space and works discreetly when maintaining the garden or watering in summer.

Pets are welcome. Dogs love exploring the vineyard and discovering the many new scents.

Eliza’s embraces the principles of slow travel and gentle sustainability. Life here follows the rhythm of the land - fresh produce from the garden, seasonal flowers, wildlife, birdsong and long, unhurried days among the vines and woodland. Many breakfast ingredients come directly from the property, and the gardens are tended with environmentally conscious methods. Guests often say that this peaceful, restorative way of living is the true luxury of their stay.

We live 500 metres down the road in a separate house, ensuring your privacy while remaining available if you need anything. With deep local knowledge, we can recommend the best wineries, walks, scenic spots, restaurants and Marlborough experiences tailored to your interests. The best local pub and craft brewery is a short stroll from the cottage.

Professionally hosted since 2011, Eliza’s has received continuous awards and glowing reviews, with many guests returning year after year for their “Eliza’s fix”. We have a two-night minimum stay (season dependent). Special long-stay quotes are available upon request.

Your Marlborough wine region escape awaits.
