Ugbrooke Country Estate, a truly unique yet unpretentious nineteenth century Marlborough property, on a 16 acre elevated site. Set in park-like grounds with sweeping lawns and marvellous views of farmland, vineyards, over Cook Strait and the North Island. To the south are the Kaikoura Ranges and mighty Mt Tapuaenuku.
The estate is the largest privately owned single storey house in New Zealand and listed with the Historic Places Trust of New Zealand. One and a half kilometres of curving, tree lined road lead the visitor to the homestead, a magnificent red brick house of 929m2 (10,000 sq ft), renowned for its size and unusual architectural features. Ugbrooke has spacious guest rooms, lofty pressed metal ceilings, and extensive timber finishes.
The surrounding paddocks while being host to a 9 hole chip and putt golf course, cricket pitch and tennis courts, are also home to the homestead's sheep and horses.
Facilities
Ugbrooke Country Estate is your timeless sanctuary from a busy world. The emphasis is on relaxation and warm hospitality, a unique home away from home. You have a choice of six superbly appointed suites, each named to reflect the rich history of the house. Decorated in soothing tones and comfortably appointed, you'll feel the rush melt away as you take in Ugbrooke's aged grace and unique setting.
Continental breakfast is included in the rate, and lunch and/or dinner is available on request. We offer warm and relaxed dining, on the verandah overlooking vineyards to the Cook Strait or in our elegant period dining room.
Savour only the best of the region's produce with a reasonably priced three course dinner or join us for a home grown lamb roast or BBQ. Gluten free and vegetarian diets can be catered for with some notice and free range produce (we have our own free range chickens) is regarded as a priority and offered wherever possible. We are fully licensed and can complete your meal with world-class, locally produced wine.
Make the most of Marlborough's warm sunny climate lazing by the pool with a world class glass of sauvignon blanc. If you're feeling more energetic then have a game of lawn bowls or practise your swing on our nine hole chip and putt golf course that wends a challenging path through the surrounding paddocks. In 2009 two all-weather tennis courts will be completed.
Accommodation
Choose from three Heritage and three Classic Suites that echo the elegance of times past and offer the comforts of the modern world. All rooms have ensuite, modern heating and small bar fridge. Indulge yourself in richly furnished romantic rooms, with beautifully carved fireplaces, gorgeous beds and original fittings.
Your Hosts
Peter and Alex Stowasser now welcome guests to this unique residence and take great pleasure in enabling visitors to forget the hustle and bustle of the modern world and step briefly back in time to a more gracious era - to unwind in comfort, explore the region and return again and ....yet again to...... Ugbrooke Country Estate.
