Great location just outside the city of Blenheim

Fabulous luxury lodge set in the middle of Marlborough’s wine Region. Samantha, the manager, is a master administrator and Lindsey oversees the restaurant operation. Food and wine match the 5-star nature of the lodge itself.

So Relaxing

We were lucky enough to stay in this beautiful hotel in July of this year. The location was perfect for our day trips(self driving). I can not praise the staff enough for their genuine hospitality & professionalism. The rooms are a generous size & tastefully decorated. Chef made sure we were never hungry, all in all a perfect stay.

Amazing experience at the Marlborough Lodge!

Such a Stunning, beautiful property - a fantastic addition to Marlborough! I had an incredible experience in the restaurant - everything from the elegant, polished surroundings to the delicious, thoughtful food and first rate service. Highly recommend the aperitif outside in the garden by the open fire. Well done Angela, Samantha and team!

Amazing !

The Marlborough Lodge is just amazing ! Wonderful room with a perfect bedding. Huge bathroom. Refined decoration. The convent, separate from the the main premise, is a unique place to have an appetitive before the diner. Very nice and professional staff. Interesting wien list. A place to be in the Marlborough Region.

Date of stay: April 2019

Thank you so much for your very kind review. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at the Marlborough lodge and Hope you return again. Kind regards Samantha Lodge Manager

Wonderful Surprise

My husband booked us here as a treat whilst traveling around the area. It was a truly lovely stay. We wish we booked longer! The staff is brilliant and friendly - always smiling and quick to offer anything we might have needed. The property - WOW! It is incredibly well cared for and decorated to be current whilst maintaining the integrity and the history of the building (a challenge few people get spot on - they do!) . We will surely be back - hopefully when it is warmer so we can take advantage of the pool and more outdoor activities. Still well worth the stay in the offseason - the wineries are still open in June!
