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

About Lynne

Come and share our dreams ~ Sleepers are dreamers. We believe wine tasting should be fun, the vineyard is our passion. The cottage also shares our dreams - relaxing, colourful and bespoke. We love colour and comfort. The cottage is pet friendly, we love dogs, We own a German Shepard called Xuxa and she is a member of our family. It always surprises me how nature and the beauty around refreshes the soul. We love our vineyard and its animals. We have our Kune Kune pigs Porsha, Penelope and Louis, also our Gotland sheep, free range hens, the pond full of Pekin ducks. We love growing herbs, we have many down at the cottage for you to enjoy. We have planted many trees to bring different types of birds, morning and evening song is so beautiful, we love it and hope you do too. We have also created places in our property for you to enjoy with tables to sit and absorb nature, down by the river, Xuxa loves to lie in the water there, on our top block for stunning mountain views or under casuarina trees listening to the breeze. We have placed two out door baths one if you choose to share or two if you like more bubbles and set your own temperature. We are very happy to meet you and share our dreams.

Why Lynne chose Kekerengu

What is quite cool is Sleepers vineyard has the intersection of Latitude 42 S and Longitude 174 E; and a past life as Kekerengu Station. We have Cobs built in 1860 now fully restored. The former Kekerengu Station Head shepherd's cottage is where our tasting room and cellar door is found, and the former Kekerengu Station Dining Room/Bunkhouse, which could sleep up to 36 shearers, is now home to our Sensory Overload experience, with candles, crystal glasses and fun with wine pairing, let us wow you. Bring your bikes or use ours, ride through the vines or in Kekerengu valley. Enjoy your own spot down near the gentle Kekerengu river where a table is placed by the waters edge or walk up to our own Oriental Bay where you can sit at look a the country scenery. Come and enjoy my happy places. We are vaccinated and I deep clean before you arrive and after you leave.
