Bespoke Cottage, outdoor baths, wine tasting, pet friendly in Sleepers Vineyard

Private cottage set in Sleepers vineyard with stunning scenery. We have designed the cottage to relax you. In the lounge we have sheepskin covered sofas, candle lights and a wood burner fire to keep you cosy and warm on those cooler days or nights, with wood stacked at the front door, and a turntable with a selection of records to play or at the touch of a button bluetooth your own playlist. We offer a king-size bed in the main bedroom made with 100% cotton sheets. This is our red room. There is also a green relaxing second bedroom with a comfortable double bed. Ceiling fans in both the red room and the lounge keep you cool in summer. The kitchen is fully equipped for you to cook your favourite meals. Free wireless internet is provided.
Outside, the cottage is fully fenced to keep your furry family member safe with you. Unwind in the twin outdoor garden baths with continuous running hot water at the turn of the tap, designed for relaxing while you watch the sun go down and then see our breath-taking starlit night sky appear with our famous milky way, and count the shooting stars. There are two bikes in the shed at the cottage for you to enjoy a ride around the vines. We have also created pathways for you to walk along the river and in among our beautiful native trees. No need for your dog to be on a leash. On the property we also offer a cellar door in our smaller cob building, and a sensory wine tasting made for fun with candles and crystal in our larger one. Come and enjoy the cottage, the vineyard and wine grown here on the property. There is 45 hectares to explore. We are located halfway between Blenheim and Kaikoura, and just a 5-minute walk from the beach and Kekerengu’s own café “The Store”. The Kekerengu coast awaits you, with surf casting, Clarence River rafting, Winterhome gardens, seals, Nins Bin and more, all nearby.

Absolutely delightful.
Our 2nd visit to this delightful relaxing cottage nestled within ‘Sleepers Vineyard’. Unfortunately, our too short a stay was at the end of our 7 week tour of South Island, so less opportunity to drink their excellent wine. Three days of heaven chilling out, reading drinking, watching their animals antics. Thank you Lynne and Chris for being such wonderful hosts and for the delightful afternoon/evening on our final day. We very much hope to return in the near future. John & Jackie Cornell (Churt, Surrey, UK)

An incredible place to have a getaway!
We absolutely loved out stay in this beautiful cottage. To be honest we would have loved to stay longer but we are planning on going back very soon! The cottage is in the most incredible setting in the middle of a vineyard. Surrounded by hills and a painted sky. Pigs and chickens on the back fence, bird songs including Tuis, sheep everywhere and the sound of the river in the distance. I walked around the property and you could walk forever. The cottage has many warm and cosy spaces, a great kitchen, large fridge, washer and dryer. The best part was the bath tubs outside, but there is also one inside too. A perfect getaway for myself, hubby and our silly doggos who loved the yard and loved exploring!

If we could give 11/10 we would!
This amazing slice of paradise was the perfect place for two friends (and a dog named Sprocket) to get away from it all for a brief moment. The atmosphere of the property was refreshing, and soaking in the hot tubs stole any of our remaining cares. Sprocket enjoyed the grounds, but especially the warmth of the fire. Multiple paws of approval given. Lynne was a most gracious host, greeting us with a smile upon arrival as well as departure. This property has been immaculately maintained and its host should most definitely be recognised for this. You would be hard pressed to find anywhere better to get away from it all.

We, including our little furry boy Maximus, have become regular visitors to this gorgeous, tranquil little piece of heaven. Lynn once again went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. We highly recommend Sleepers Vineyard if what you are looking for is to relax, enjoy quality time with your furr babies and drink some of the best wines whilst enjoying Louis the pig, the girls and chucks.

Our dogs gave 5 stars
We've just had a lovely couple of nights in this beaut little dog-friendly cottage. This was outstanding with a securely fenced yard and beautiful vineyard and river walks. The cottage was immaculately clean, thoughtful touches abound including eggs from the hens at the bottom of the yard. Very comfortable and cosy with the wood heater keeping the whole cottage warm. The cottage is surrounded by its own orchard full of wonderful native birds, which we enjoyed while soaking in the twin outdoor baths! Highly recommend for anyone wanting a tranquil getaway, yet still be within reach of the Marlborough vineyards, aviation museum and stunning coast.

Amazing stay!
We had the best time at Sleepers. What a beautiful location and Lynn is the best host. She was so kind and very happy to show us around here vineyard. We would definitely recommend all our friends and family to stay here. The cottage is nice and cosy, it has everything you need, we loved the bikes and the fruit and herbs from the garden tasted amazing. But the best part probably the outside tubs!

A wonderful place to relax
Our third visit and we love it just a little more each time. It’s good to go down to The Store, the local cafe, for coffee and sea views, to do a wine tasting at the vineyard where the cottage is situated, take short walks to the river and in the beautifully maintained vineyard. A trip to Blenheim for a very good lunch at Wither Hills was easily accessed. Well equipped the cottage is a delight to stay in.
