About St Leonard's Vineyard Cottages
St Leonards Vineyard Cottages is set on 4.5 acres on the outskirts of Blenheim, with four individually-appointed, self-contained boutique cottages positioned around the semi-rural property, surrounded by vineyards.
The Marlborough homestead is an excellent example of early NZ colonial architecture, built in the 1880s. It was once the focal point of a large sheep farm
The homestead is situated in the centre of the property with century-old walnut, gum and elm trees, together with native plantings,
The charming cottages are themed around the old farm buildings, offering their own unique view of mountains, vines and gardens, and are privately located around the property. They are all fully self-contained and self-catering, with breakfast provisions provided.
Make the most of your idyllic surroundings by exploring the grounds with its picturesque gardens and majestic trees.
Near the lemon grove you will find sheep, alpaca and chickens (all prepared to become your new best friend for a handful of food) plus a couple of very shy deer. Relax in the heated pool and hot tub, or test your skills with a game of lawn tennis or petanque.
We are proud to have received the Qualmark Silver award and are Covid Clean Approved.
Our story
Sharon and Jason
We have lived in Marlborough for more than 11 years after moving from 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. We both love being reconnected to the land and sharing our love for animals with our guests.
Jason and our children have all represented New Zealand in national sports teams, and Sharon is a talented potter... you'll see some of her homeware in your cottage and for sale in the homestead's reception.
We're looking forward to welcoming you to our little slice of vineyard bliss very soon.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact us.
