Old St Mary’s ConventIn the heart of Marlborough’s vineyards, situated in a park-like estate of 20 acres, lies Old Saint Mary’s Convent, where luxury accommodation and an intimate retreat can be found.
The Convent was moved to its present location in 1994 and completely restored under the guidance of architect Sir Michael Fowler, retaining its original charm and character. It is now a haven of tranquil ambience for the discerning traveller.
A home of stately proportions, Old St Mary’s Convent provides an idyllic setting and secluded accommodation to enjoy quiet relaxation. Guests during their stay will notice that Old St Mary’s Convent Retreat combines the personal touch and services of a small establishment and the unbridled luxuries normally only found in five star hotels and resorts. Complimenting the phenomenal views, Old St Mary’s Convents’ architecture, décor and ambience speak only of elegance.
Seven luxury guest rooms, including a magnificent honeymoon suite in the Old Convent Chapel, have been created, each with wonderful views of the gardens, surrounding hills and vineyards. The rooms are spacious, airy and have balconies. All have ensuite bathrooms with bath and separate shower.
The Convent is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding district including the beautiful Marlborough Sounds
