We've lived in Marlborough for more than 11 years after moving from corporate roles in New Zealand's capital city, Wellington. ​Our three children had fantastic childhoods growing up in Marlborough, with an enormous variety of sports and recreational activities all within a stone's throw of home.​ Jason grew up in semi-rural Marlborough, not too far from St Leonards, while Sharon spent her childhood on the family farm in Taranaki. So we're both loving being reconnected to the land and sharing our love for animals with our guests.​ We're looking forward to welcoming you to our little slice of farm and vineyard bliss very soon.

St Leonards Vineyard Cottages offers character-filled self-catered accommodation, located in the heart of Marlborough's vineyards where you can enjoy 4.5 acres of beautiful gardens, mature trees, bird life and surrounding vineyards. Our cottages have views of the mountains, vines and garden, and are privately located around the property. Guests are encouraged to explore the grounds and feed the sheep, deer, alpacas and chickens. Breakfast is self-catered - our breakfast hampers include jams (seasonal fruits from the garden for your picking), free-range eggs from our chickens, cereal and bread, milk and juice and yoghurt. All cottages are equipped with a BBQ and hot plate for evening dining. Guests are welcome to use the outdoor swimming pool (open between October and March) and spa pool (year-round), and enjoy a game of lawn tennis or petanque. We are a self-contained and self-catering property. We don't enter your cottage unless requested for top-ups. For sustainability, bed linen & towels will only be replaced after 3 nights, if requested or when required. Recycle Station provided for all guests. Winery tours are an ever popular activity, via bike or van, to visit local cellar doors. Located 3 minutes from Marlborough Airport and 5 minutes to the Blenheim CBD. We are proud to have received The Silver Qualmark 4+ Star Award.
