There is something instantly charming about
St Leonards Vineyard Cottages, a collection of self-contained character cottages set on a former sheep farm in the heart of Marlborough wine country. Surrounded by vineyards, gardens and old trees, the property feels deeply connected to the landscape - especially with a neighbouring Wither Hills block growing Pinot Gris grapes.
The experience is as much farm stay as vineyard stay: free-range eggs for breakfast, friendly sheep and deer in the paddocks, citrus trees, mountain views, and cottages with pot-belly fires, porches and private corners. Between the heated saltwater pool, hot tub, tennis court and easy access to the Marlborough Wine Trail, this is an especially good choice for travellers who want wine country without losing the warmth and informality of a countryside home.
