A cottage between the vines

A cottage nestled between the vines on the east coast of the South Island, halfway between Kaikoura and Blenheim. The perfect spot for wine and nature lovers. Your hosts, Lynne and Chris, invite you to refresh your soul amongst nature and take some time out from your busy life.

Take a private vineyard tour and indulge in wine tasting. Hop on the mountain bikes and cruise through the vines and into the valley. Meet the resident Kunekune pigs and other farm animals. Or wander down to the local cafe on the coastline. A relaxing retreat amongst nature.

Kaikoura is less than an hour's drive from your accommodation. A playground for marine wildlife, home to sperm whales, dusky dolphins, seals and albatross. And in some parts of the year, you can spot orca, Humpback whales, Blue whales, Hector dolphins and an array of coastal seabirds. Admire these fascinating creatures on a cruise, a scenic flight, diving, kayaking or swimming.
