My husband and I treated ourselves to the Marlborough Boutique Hotel during our honeymoon, and it was absolutely worth it. The exceptional experience started even before we arrived, with the staff going above and beyond to help us arrange tours and transfers—even last-minute ones! The bike tour they booked for us was so much fun, and the fact that they have a helipad on-site made it easy to combine a helicopter tour and transfer to our next hotel. When we arrived, the service was next-level. Our luggage was delivered straight to our room, we were greeted with prosecco, and they gave us a quick but thoughtful tour of the property. It was the perfect welcome. We loved the daily happy hour, where we got to mingle with other guests over drinks and hors d'oeuvres. With just 10 rooms, the hotel felt so intimate, and the personalized service really shone. Breakfast was delicious, and dinner at their restaurant was equally impressive. The room itself was stunning—by far the largest and most luxurious of our three-week New Zealand trip. We especially loved the wines provided in-room, which were made from the Marlborough vineyard and only available on-site (either in your room or at the restaurant). The housekeeping team did a fantastic job, and the evening turndown service added to the luxury. Marlborough Boutique Hotel really knows how to make you feel spoiled. Whether it’s the little details or the big ones like helicopter transfers, everything was perfect. This place is 10/10—we’d recommend it in a heartbeat and can’t wait to go back someday!

We just stayed at The Marlborough for 3 nights and it is one of the best boutique hotels we have ever stayed at. The rooms are large and extremely comfortable, food in the (hatted) Harvest restaurant is exceptional and the grounds are beautifully maintained. Service is very friendly and professional, nothing is too much trouble. Thx to Angela and the entire Marlborough team for making this such an enjoyable and memorable stay. We 100% recommend a stay.

Beautiful and elegant, friendly and intimate with a feel for high end elegance in a cosy setting. Having stayed there with family on a private tour in its earlier years, we had a chance to revisit for a special dinner with a group this visit to wine country, what a gem, a must visit spot in the heart of NZ wine country

We stayed in wonderful properties in New Zealand but The Marlborough House was my favorite. (and I loved the others) There was something so special about this property. Just the right size to be secluded and intimate with the possibility of meeting others. Phenomenal restaurant with service to match. Wonderful touches like happy hour in the garden, and gift shop with excellent small mostly handmade gifts. Rooms are gorgeous with amazing bathrooms and all the amenities.
