The Marlborough was exceptional! The hotel underwent a complete renovation within the last 2 years. The fabrics, linens, color schemes, art work, etc. are of the highest quality and evoke a bespoke experience. This is one of the finest travel experiences I have had!

ブレナム空港からホテルまでタクシーで40ドルほどです。空港には飛行機の到着に合わせてタクシーは何台かいます。 いなければ電話番号が書いてあるので電話すれば来てくれます。 事前にホテルに送迎を頼むと60ドルです。 部屋はとても広く、バスタブも付いています。 冷蔵庫のビールやソフトドリンク、スナック類もチャージ無しで頂けます。毎日補充されます。 ホテルオリジナルのとても美味しいワインも1日一本無料で頂けました。 スリッパ、歯ブラシなどは置いてありません。持っていきましょう。 ミシュラン星付きのレストランが併設されています。朝食も素晴らしいです。 ランチやディナーはアラカルトです。事前にメールで予約可能です。周辺に夕飯を食べられるレストランなどはあまり無いので夕飯はこちらで頂きました。 メニューは頻繁には変わらないので連泊すると全メニュー制覇できます。 18時から19時は庭の暖炉の前で美味しいワインが無料で頂けます。 近くのワイナリーには歩いて行けるところもありますが、スタッフに頼めばすぐにタクシーを呼んでもらえます。 クラウディーベイなども片道20ドルほどで行けます。 こちらのホテルはエントランスから感動します。スタッフもとても親切で頼りになります。 値段は安くは無いですが、記憶に残る最高のホテルです。 ワイナリーを巡ってのんびり過ごすには最高です。

大自然の中の素敵なロッジ。夜は暖炉の前で星空の下、ニュージーランドワインを堪能出来ます。何もしない贅沢。
