In the heart of Marlborough's wine growing area lies Old Saint Mary's Convent, one of New Zealand's finest Country Retreats - a haven for the discerning traveller, where luxury boutique accommodation and an intimate retreat may be found.
Old Saint Mary's Convent is situated on an estate of 60 acres of vineyard and parkland and is surrounded on all sides by the vineyards and olive groves Marlborough is famous for.
Spring Creek, with its abundant bird life and trout, meanders lazily through the property. It is here, beneath Marlborough's azure sky, that one may spend a pleasant afternoon sipping local vintages and sampling the provincial gourmet fare.
Our selection of suites are among the finest Marlborough Luxury Accomodation available - 5 star suites beautifully furnished, situated in Blenheim, New Zealand.
Each of the five rooms has spectacular views of the surrounding hills, vineyards and/or gardens. All have their own ensuite with bath and separate shower. The rooms are very spacious and airy with easy access to the balcony.
Essential modern conveniences, like fire protection sprinklers and a sophisticated heating and air conditioning system, are cleverly hidden behind the old ceilings, rimu panelling and timbered floors.
The room charge is for two persons' occupancy and includes a complimentary glass of wine before dinner and a delicious breakfast. Tea and coffee are served at all times. All bathrooms have toiletries, hair dryers and robes. All rooms are fully air-conditioned with Sky TV and high speed wireless internet connection and DVD players.
Continental or cooked breakfast is served in the cosy dining room. The library, with its ornate Kauri fireplace and separate billiards room, is for the exclusive use of guests. Relax or make use of the bicycles, outdoor swimming pool,petanque court or croquet area. Splendid grass tennis courts neighbouring the Convent can also usually be used by guests.
Marlborough holds international acclaim for being one of the finest wine regions in the world. The Convent is ideally situated among the vineyards for a tour of the nearby wineries.
Those attracted to the water may visit the Marlborough Sounds for water sports or fishing. Your hosts can arrange a trip on the mail boat or a fishing guide to take guests to the perfect spot for trout fishing in one of the local fresh water streams.
Other activities include horse trekking, scenic walks and white water rafting. Several excellent golf courses may be found in close proximity to the Convent.
Blenheim has many superb restaurants providing a wide variety of cuisine, while lunches and evening meals are also served at a number of the local wineries.
Old Saint Mary's Convent is located just a 10 minute drive from Blenheim or 20-25 minutes from Picton on Rapaura Road. Look for our signage on Rapaura Road.
Old St Mary's Convent is also an idyllic wedding venue. Ceremonies can be held in the gardens or in St Michael's Church which is located on the grounds.
The Church can hold a maximum of 140 people. You may choose to hold the reception in marquees on the grounds or perhaps hold a drinks party in the garden while photos are being taken - going on to another reception venue.
We would welcome the opportunity to host your wedding or civil union ceremony and are very happy to assist you in planning your special day.
