World Class is a term often used (and abused) by reviewers to describe the merely better than average. In the case of the Marlborough Lodge, the term is entirely justified. From the moment we arrived to the final moment of departure, we were made to feel special and this extended to not only the outstanding accommodation (beautiful bedrooms, dining rooms... ) and to the food (excellent breakfasts, lunches and dinners) but it essentially comes from the service attitude of Angela and all her team who are friendly, informative, listening, responding to our needs, and thereby providing excellent service. A profound thanks to all at the Marlborough Lodge for that.
The Marlborough Lodge has a fascinating history and is situated in one of the finest private estates we have visited (worth exploring - vineyard, vegetable garden,, pool...)..and close to the Marlborough Sounds for the Queen Charlotte track and other such activities. This is a top destination.

Great place to stay in blenheim, staff all amazing, food great ,nothing to fault really just perfect will definitely reccomend to friends and family and anyone else I can. Make the time to stop if you can

I have recently had the wonderful experience of dining at the Harvest restaurant of The Marlborough Lodge near Blenheim. The staff were amazing, service was impeccable and the food was outstanding! My dietary restrictions of being vegan and gluten free were accommodated without a blink of an eye. I was served a scrumptious eggplant dish that I wished would never end. The manager of the kitchen was delightful and very attentive to my dietary needs. Surrounded with gorgeous gardens and vineyards, this restaurant and lodge beckons one to stay and linger. Whether it be for a couple hours dining on Harvest’s patio or perhaps even for a few nights to discover all the Lodge has to offer. This place is a true escape!
