A Heritage Vineyard Lodge in Marlborough

On a 16-acre estate with a working vineyard in Marlborough, The Marlborough is a boutique lodge of ten rooms in a restored 1901 convent, with the Harvest restaurant, gardens and wine-country experiences.

A restored convent among the vines

The Marlborough sits on a 16-acre estate of gardens and a working vineyard at Rapaura in Marlborough, about 15 minutes from Blenheim. It has ten contemporary luxury rooms, each with a spacious ensuite and balcony access and garden or vineyard views, with a premium suite also available.

Dining is at the Harvest restaurant, serving seasonal regional produce from a Mibrasa charcoal oven with a wine focus. Set in a historic Victorian convent built in 1901 for the Sisters of Mercy, relocated and restored, it blends heritage with contemporary design. Experiences run to vineyard visits and wine tasting, the Queen Charlotte Track, Marlborough Sounds cruising and the Omaka Aviation Heritage Centre. An independent boutique lodge, Qualmark 5-Star Gold and one-hatted in the Cuisine Good Food Guide, it suits couples and wine-country travellers who want an intimate heritage vineyard hotel.
