The Marlborough

“Taivas on paikka maan päällä!!”

Halusimme pilata itsemme rentouttavalla viikonloppulla Marlboroughin viinimaahan! Ja poika teimme sen, kun päätimme jäädä tänne!

Halusimme pilata itsemme rentouttavalla viikonloppulla Marlboroughin viinimaahan! Ja poika teimme sen, kun päätimme jäädä tänne! Marlborough Lodge on vain muutaman askeleen päässä kaikesta tällä alueella. Palvelu täällä on paras, mitä olen kokenut missä tahansa NZ! Karen ja hänen tiiminsä tekevät sinusta tuntuu kuin olisit osa perheestä! Vietimme Lodge Suite ensimmäisessä kerroksessa ja se oli upea ja mukava. Se oli upea näköala takkatupa ja kappeli. Kappeli on remontoitu hiljattain ja on yksinkertaisesti upea! Kaikki ateriat olivat hyvin valmistautuneita ja maistui hyvältä ja palveli ystävällinen henkilökunta, joka todella välittää kaikista tarpeista. Olimme kyllin onnellisia myös rentouttavan hieronnan ollessa siellä. Tämä oli loistava rentouttava kokemus varsinkin kun kova päivä paikallisilla viinitarhoilla! ; ) Yksinkertaisesti mitään ei valitettavasti kestää oleskelun aikana, ja suosittelemme tätä, jos se on budjetillasi. Lodge on kallis puolella, mutta sitten taas saat sen, mitä maksat. Palatkaamme varmasti takaisin. . .

From the moment we arrived at The Marlborough, we felt genuinely welcomed. Lauren greeted us warmly, setting the tone for the stay. As we arrived early, we had lunch at the Harvest Restaurant, which turned out to be a wonderful introduction to the property. Afterward, Macy showed us to our room, which was incredibly spacious and beautifully appointed—even the bathroom felt luxurious. I especially appreciated the small touches, like the fragrant candle and matches, which gave the room a lovely scent. Dining was a highlight throughout our stay. The food was consistently excellent—from the homemade bread and butter to the appetizers, main courses (we especially loved the lamb shoulder), and creative desserts. The service was equally impressive, with a friendly and attentive international team that made every meal feel special. We also enjoyed a tour of the grounds and had the pleasure of meeting Santiago, who oversees the garden that supplies many of the restaurant’s ingredients. His tour added another layer of appreciation for the freshness and quality of the food. The Marlborough is a beautiful and relaxing retreat in wine country—an elegant place where you feel both pampered and completely at ease.

“A wonderful location in the Marborough winemaking district”

The Marlborough is a wonderful resort. With only 10 or so rooms you’re guaranteed peace and quiet while being pampered by the ever attentive staff.

The Marlborough is a wonderful resort. With only 10 or so rooms you’re guaranteed peace and quiet while being pampered by the ever attentive staff. Located in the Marborough wine region you are close to some world class wineries, including dog point vineyards, and cloudy bay vineyards. The food at the Marlboro was wonderful as was their wine list. They have walking trails throughout the entire property and Vineyards on the property from which they make their wine.

We visited today for lunch as part of an excursion from our Azamara Cruise, which had docked in Picton. Following a day which included lovely wine tastings our visit to this property was for lunch and wine and it absolutely capped the day for us. The grounds are stunning even on a rainy day which we experienced. The restaurant is beautiful and very inviting and the staff could not have been more welcoming. The wine is lovely, also - they do offer wines from other places but do not miss the opportunity to try what you can only taste and sample on site. It’s really good! The sommelier is happy to help with suggestions for other local wines as well, and we enjoyed a lovely local Syrah. Then there is the food - WOW! We had a larger group of maybe 20ish so the dishes came family style,and included a beautiful salad, risotto with peas and mint, a beautiful charcoal roasted mussel dish, estate beetroot salad (simply divine), lamb, fish, and a roasted estate cabbage that was to die for. It was beautiful presented, healthful, and delicious. We couldn’t have asked for more and quite honestly, this was the best lunch we have had on our entire trip. The chef is quite honestly deserving of a Michelin star. Would we stay here? Absolutely, based on the location, the interiors which we could view, and the grounds….and most especially the meal. A wonderful part of our wine tastings day for certain!
