Words cannot express how beautiful Eliza’s Cottage and the on-site gardens are. If you are a plant lover, don’t pass up staying here! Wendy is also a wonderfully gracious host, providing fresh baked bread, jams, eggs, and fudge - my best VRBO experience.

Amazingly Magical Stay

The stay at Eliza’s cottage was a whimsical experience from the beautiful garden to the home made breakfast breads and jams our host our did herself. Our kids also loved a splash in the pool in the afternoons and picking lemons off the many fruit trees in the garden. What a beautiful place to stay while enjoying the lovely wine region of NZ.

Eliza’s Garden Cottage was spectacular - set amongst a vineyard with awesome gardens. The rhododendrons were awash in all colors. Breakfast supplies included yummy homemade granola and walnut bread. The cottage had all the comforts of home. We were sad to leave and rate it as one of favorite stays. If you are in Blenheim stay here you won’t be disappointed.

We had a truly magical stay at Eliza’s cottage. Honestly 5 stars is not enough. The garden and surrounds are absolutely gorgeous, and have inspired my next garden for sure! So many fruit trees! The breakfast provisions were outstanding, we had such a wonderful time and would absolutely recommend and we want to return in the future. Such perfect hosting. Thank you so much

Idyllic oasis

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Eliza’s cottage. The setting was just dreamy and magical - our kids loved being outside exploring. The house was warm and well equipped and the supplies provided were a step beyond! The breakfast goodies were such a treat! We found it relaxing and charming and it was the perfect spot for our family weekend getaway. The hosts were very attentive when we needed but allowed us our space and privacy. We would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in 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!

Perfect

Upon entering the cottage we found a beautiful assortment of produce on the counter and a well-stocked fridge — not just milk but eggs, bacon, and a few other delicious surprises. Fresh bread was delivered not long after our arrival. The house is beautifully decorated as the pictures depict and the diversity of plants in the garden amazing. Vineyards surrounding everything. The morning we left our kind host allowed us to join a tour she was giving of her own gardens located just down the lane.

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!

What a wonderful haven. We could have stayed for weeks.

A home away from home with thoughtful touches of fresh flowers, homemade bread and preserves and yummy breakfast fixings. Very comfortable beds and nice linens. Set in the countryside less than 10 minutes from downtown Blenheim. Highly recommended.

This is deservedly one of the the top rating Bach’s in NZ.

Wendy’s extra touches were just incredible. Hone made bread (I really need the recipe), tiny, jewel- like preserves she makes herself and eggs from her chooks. The tour of the magnificent garden surrounding her own house was an added bonus. Pudding the sheep was a highlight. I can’t recommend Wendy’s place highly enough

Beautiful cottage

Eliza's cottage is one of the best holiday homes we have ever stayed in. Located in stunning vineyard scenery, it is wonderfully quiet and private yet only a short drive to central Blenheim. From the moment you arrive, you'll be spoilt by the owner's thoughtful touches. Bread, wine, and breakfast condiments on arrival, a daily newspaper delivered to your door, a fully equipped kitchen, different coffee varieties - it's all there. Lemon and orange trees in the garden invite you to make your own fresh juice. There is a small pool in the backyard as well as a large garden for outdoor games. Our stay was a dream, and we will certainly be back.
