Perfect place in the middle of wine country

We loved our stay at Wendy’s home while visiting the wine country of Blenheim. 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!

Incredible place!

What a lovely cottage. The surroundings were unbeatable, looking onto the vines. Great BBQ. Wendy was really quick to reply throughout and very helpful, as was Jessica. They very professionally handled a huge cleanup task from the previous guests, with everything ready on time, including fresh fruit and beautiful homemade bread. I couldn’t recommend this place more!

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Palmer

We live next door in the original century plus old farmhouse now restored for modern life which is surrounded by a 3 acre garden accredited as one of national significance by the New Zealand Gardens Trust. Our main business is growing grapes but we love the happy positive energy our holidaying visitors bring to the farm.

Why they chose this property

We bought the next door farm and inherited a house that had been built for the granddaughter of the couple that had built our house. This new house had an extensive garden that needed some renovating and a charming pool. It was just perfect for a holiday home.

Over the years I have stayed in many holiday homes in many parts of the world and I have become rather opinionated about what makes this accommodation work well for the holidaymaker. It was great fun putting these ideas into action and creating my dream holiday home. However, uniquely, I have never stayed in my dream holiday home!

What makes this property unique

We chose Marlborough to be our forever home nearly 2 decades ago. It has a great sunny climate and is filled with every outdoor activity imaginable which is important to us. There are stunning views in Marlborough and Eliza's has more than its fair share. The dramatic sunsets over the Richmond Ranges are a nightly pleasure.
