Eliza’s embraces the principles of slow travel and gentle sustainability. Life here follows the rhythm of the land - fresh produce from the garden, seasonal flowers, wildlife, birdsong and long, unhurried days among the vines and woodland. Many breakfast ingredients come directly from the property, and the gardens are tended with environmentally conscious methods. Guests often say that this peaceful, restorative way of living is the true luxury of their stay.

We live 500 metres down the road in a separate house, ensuring your privacy while remaining available if you need anything. With deep local knowledge, we can recommend the best wineries, walks, scenic spots, restaurants and Marlborough experiences tailored to your interests. The best local pub and craft brewery is a short stroll from the cottage.
