People and Places we love in Marlborough

We are so lucky to have Arbour as our near neighbours. The restaurant is a modern and relaxed environment with innovative cuisine, an extensive wine list and warm, friendly service. Book a romantic dinner or drop in for a wine and small plates from their extensive local selection.

Harvest Restaurant is the delightful and welcoming restaurant at The Marlborough Lodge. Chef Alain and his talented team are committed to using local fresh produce wherever possible and the results are delicious !! There is a great local and international wine selection too.

Whether it's coffee and a scrumptious house made muffin for morning tea or a delicious lunch using the freshest of local seafood and other delicacies, we love Saint Clair Winery. Chill out amongst the vines or in their great indoor spaces. Then take some time to ' Return to Eden' after - Marlborough's fabulous art/craft gallery next door.

Who would not want to have their very own " Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" experience on holiday! Makana is a must do when visiting the area. You can see the chocolates being made and get samples to try. How lucky are we to have this on our doorstep for treats all year round!

Cloudy Bay is a name most people instantly recognise and a visit to Marlborough must include a stop here. We love the chilled vibe on the outdoor sofas and hanging egg chairs. Jack's Raw Bar serves the best tempura oysters on the planet - match them with a glass of Pelorus rosé. Yum!

The Wine Station is perfect for kicking off your wine journey in Marlborough. Over 80 premium Marlborough wines are available by the glass for sampling or to enjoy at your leisure. Then you can decide which wineries you want to go visit. They also do great coffees , slices and platters!
