A place with people at its heart.
Meet Annie and Al, the hosts behind El Grouso’s colourful welcome on Rapaura Road.

Hello from
Annie & Al.
A colourful place. A personal welcome. That’s El Grouso.
Annie and Al host this adults-only courtyard stay on Rapaura Road, in Renwick’s corner of Marlborough wine country. With just two queen bedrooms, the experience is small, individual and full of personality.
Come to explore the cellar doors, to enjoy the countryside, or simply for a change of scene. There’s a lovely place to come back to at the end of the day.

anywhere else.
Patterned walls, warm colours and characters with a little mischief in their smiles. The name and the decoration belong to this place. The real rooms and courtyard do the talking.
