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.

Cosy, homely cottage, exceptionally clean and well-appointed. The setting is idyllic - tucked away on a beautiful vineyard, with lovely orchard and bird song. Outdoor baths were a real treat.

Wonderful hideaway

This wonderful cottage in the middle of a vineyard was a perfect location for a holiday. We walked around the vineyard and across to the river, and also down to the beach and Store at Kekerengu for lunch one day. The cottage has everything you need, and the garden is well fenced and dog friendly, and surrounded by chickens, pigs and sheep. Soaking in the outdoor baths star watching was sublime. We are looking forward to our next visit.

We loved our 6 nights at Bespoke Cottage. It is just as described and peaceful, peaceful, peaceful! I don't believe a cottage rental could be more relaxing, and Lynn and Chris are very kind and gracious hosts. You will be very pleased when you stay at Bespoke Cottage.

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)
