Eliza’s sits within a New Zealand Garden of National Significance, shaped over decades through Kaitiakitanga/Guardianship and an ongoing commitment to the land. Staying here offers a rare chance to immerse yourself in one of the country’s most beautiful private gardens - an environment alive with birds and thriving biodiversity.
Your stay includes generous, complimentary homemade full country breakfast provisions:
• Free-range eggs, fruit, vegetables and nuts from the farm.
• Freshly baked walnut bread.
• Homemade jams and jellies.
• A chilled bottle of award winning wine from our vineyard
The cottage has been thoughtfully created for comfort and luxury with:

• Locally made bathroom amenities and fluffy white robes.
• Fresh flowers in every room.
• A very well-equipped kitchen plus all pantry essentials.
• Full laundry and washing necessities.

Guests enjoy exclusive access to the private pool, gardens, outdoor games and all cottage spaces. The farm includes 100 acres of vineyard and land where you can walk, run or explore in complete peace and privacy. Our small team works discreetly when maintaining the grounds, respectful of your space.
Pets are welcome - dogs especially love exploring the vineyard and garden paths.
Eliza’s embraces sustainability and a natural pace of life - seasonal produce, wildlife, the joy of being outdoors whilst being pampered by warm and generous hosting.
Breakfast ingredients are mostly gathered from the property or locally, and the gardens are managed using environmentally conscious methods. Guests often remark that just being at Eliza's is what made their Marlborough stay special.
We live 500 metres down the road in a separate farmhouse, available if you need anything while ensuring your complete privacy. With our local knowledge, we’re always happy to recommend a winery or three, walks, swimming spots, scenic drives and dining. The best local pub and craft brewery is a short stroll from the cottage.
Our home garden at Welton House is also a New Zealand Garden of National Significance. Over the years it has appeared in books, magazines and international garden tours, and has become well known in the horticultural world. While it’s not part of the cottage stay, our Eliza's guests are welcome to visit free of charge at their leisure. It offers a sense of the wider landscape and the history that surrounds Eliza’s.
Professionally hosted since 2011, Eliza’s has become a much loved place to stay, recognised through awards, garden features and guests who return year after year. A two-night minimum stay applies (season dependent), with long-stay quotes available on request.
Eliza’s is a happy place – a small reminder of life as it should be.
