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.
