Excellent in every way. Superb restaurant, innovative and delicious. Beautiful rooms, so relaxing I could hardly drag myself away.
And the best staff ever encountered, as for the grounds and the hotel building itself- just wonderful!!
Thank you so much- if you need a revitalising break check it out- couldn't be happier 😊❤️

Dear Ken H
Thank you for taking the time to review and apologise that it has taken us so long to respond. We very much appreciate that you loved what we have here and after a short shut down we are now back and operational and hope to see you back our way at some stage
Thanks again
which is wrapped on both sides by lavender, your eyes are taken in with the sight of a lovely lodge which has been beautifully and tastefully redone. It is a welcome sight,
an inviting place and you are welcomed warmly. We were told , "be guests in our home" , and you truly do feel as if you are, nothing was too much to ask, one was always asked " if anything is needed"," if everything is ok"....we felt so well taken care of and in such great comfort. Our room was exquisite, colors muted, fabrics well chosen, the most comfy bed of the trip....and a gorgeous bath, with everything at finger tips. We enjoyed the turn down service , where a gift treat was left on plumped up pillows. Small items were in the room , like plums and cookies...extras that add and are often absent. There is a pool area, and pretty gardens wherever you look....this effort, work and consideration of space was so appreciated and noticed.
We enjoyed the apero in front of an outdoor fire, and dinner both evenings was enjoyed in a lovely dining space, very intimate, cozy, warm....simply a special stay in a special place. Staff was so outgoing and so in tune with you during your stay. Kudos to all of you at the Marlborough Lodge....we could not have imagined anything nicer.
My elderly mother and I were traveling together on a "bucket list" trip for her. This place exceeded our expectations. The property and rooms are beautifully designed, the gardens are lovely and the grounds are serene and spacious. The room was lovely, with every comfort thought-through, and the restaurant has a delicious menu, carefully designed to reflect seasonal/local foods and is very well executed. But it is the service that really makes the Marlborough Lodge stand out at any price. Samantha (the manager) and her crew are kind, thoughtful, attentive and when we had a need they used one of the most wonderful of phrases in the service industry: "leave it with me" which always meant: I am now taking responsibility for your request, you can stay focused on your trip and I'll take care of what needs to be done. And the best part is: they always did. I have travelled quite a bit, and lots of very highly-rated hotels could learn from the Marlborough what it takes to deliver consistent, top-level service. I don't know when I will make it back to New Zealand, but when I do, I will make a priority of staying here again.
Dear Jennifer,
Thank you so much for you kind and gracious feedback. I sincerely hope we have the opportunity to show you more of our beautiful Marlborough region should you return down under. Wishing yo and Betty safe and wonderful travels. Samantha
The Lodge is a beautiful place to stay but it is the service that makes this place outstanding. Every employee we met was friendly, enthusiastic and ready to cater to your every request. The food in its restaurant was delicious and varied.
Dear Riley412,
Thank you for your kind words. We absolutely love knowing our guests leave feeling like family. We hope to welcome you again. I will pass on your gratitude to the team. With Thanks, Samantha
