In need of some serious relaxation? A spot of trout fishing, epicurean adventure, wine tasting or simply some time out? You’ve come to the right place. Cranbrook Cottage is a 130-year-old self-contained hideaway set among the vineyards and gardens of Keren and Ian Mitchell’s beautiful Marlborough property, just outside Blenheim, New Zealand. A stone’s throw from the Wairau River and a short hop to several wineries and vineyard cafes, Cranbrook Cottage is the perfect place to while away a long weekend, honeymoon or extended stay.

The cottage itself is fully equipped with two bedrooms (one double and one twin) and own cooking and bathroom facilities ensuring your complete privacy. Find out more about the cottage and gardens; make a booking or enquiry; learn about culinary and wine tours (as featured in Australian House & Garden) and the famous Cranbrook breakfast; get some ideas for all that lovely relaxation.

Many of our guests return time and time again. Here are a few comments from the visitors’ book:

“When we awoke in the morning we thought we had died and gone to heaven. When breakfast arrived we realised we had.”

“The best thing about being a New Zealander is that no matter where you travel or what you see, there are always pieces of magic like Cranbrook on your back doorstep.”

“This place just makes us smile. Thankyou.”

“Without a doubt the most wonderful place to come on your honeymoon. Thankyou.”
