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 is a Qualmark Gold 5-Star Boutique Accommodation located in the heart of the Marlborough Wine region. St Leonards offers character-filled self-catered accommodation in a setting surrounded by vineyards, where you can enjoy park-like grounds with 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, chickens and ducks. Breakfast is self-catered and includes jams, free-range eggs from our chickens, cereal, bread, milk, 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 hot tub (year-round), and enjoy a game of lawn tennis or petanque. We are a self-contained and self-catering property. In-cottage dining and gourmet platters are available. For sustainability, towels will be replaced after two nights, and bed linen on request. Winery tours are an ever-popular activity, via bike or van. Located two minutes from Blenheim Airport and six minutes to central Blenheim.
