The Marlborough Boutique Hotel & Vineyard is a luxury country estate
located in the heart of New Zealand’s Marlborough wine region near Blenheim. Set within vineyards, gardens, and historic buildings dating back to the early 20th century, the property blends heritage charm with contemporary boutique luxury. Originally a convent built in 1901 and later relocated and restored, the hotel is known for its intimate scale, wine focused experiences, and peaceful rural setting surrounded by one of the world’s most famous Sauvignon Blanc producing regions.
The hotel offers a small collection of individually designed rooms and suites within the historic main lodge. Each room features a unique layout, blending restored architectural details with modern luxury furnishings. Many include garden or vineyard views, marble bathrooms, and elegant period inspired décor.
Located within the original historic building, these rooms emphasize character and atmosphere, with restored timber, high ceilings, and boutique styling. They are designed for guests seeking a more authentic heritage experience within the estate.
The Premium Suites offer larger layouts with additional living space, upgraded furnishings, and enhanced vineyard views. These suites often include private balconies or terraces and are designed for longer or more luxurious stays.
Select estate style accommodations provide more privacy, often set slightly apart from the main lodge. These offer a more residential feel with direct access to gardens and vineyard surroundings, ideal for guests seeking seclusion.
