In the heart of Marlborough's wine growing area lies Old Saint Mary's Convent a haven for the discerning traveller, where luxury accommodation and an intimate retreat may be found.
Old Saint Mary's Convent is situated on an estate of 60 acres and 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. Designed by Thomas Turnbull and built in 1901 for the Sisters of Mercy, the Convent was originally located next to Saint Mary's Church in Blenheim. It provided nineteen bedrooms for the nuns, a library, music room, sewing room, office and a beautiful chapel upstairs on the first floor.
Located 75 km from Nelson.
Located 6 km from Blenheim Airport.
