The Vicarage Upgraded to Qualmark 5 Star Gold
The Vicarage has been just been upgraded to Qualmark 5 Star Gold Rated. This recognizes our commitment to sustainability and our exceptional customer experiences.
5 Star Boutique Hotel
The Vicarage has always been a 5 Star property according to Qualmark. This relates to our guest offerings, recognizing that our facilities and services are among the best on offer in New Zealand.
The Qualmark star rating system helps guests know what to expect in terms of the level of accommodation - whether a property is budget, standard, or luxury.
Gold Rated
On the other hand, the Qualmark Gold accreditation is a new honour for us. This rating has to do with a property's sustainability and performance in 5 areas:
- Health & Safety
- Business Systems
- Environment
- People
- Community & Culture
We were previously a Silver rated business, which is already a significant achievement. To qualify for the Gold rating, we had to go above and beyond to prove we were delivering superb customer experiences with a commitment to sustainability.
According to Qualmark:
A Gold business is a best-in-class sustainable tourism business in New Zealand, delivering exceptional customer experiences, an integral part of everything they do. A Gold Sustainable Tourism Accreditation identifies those businesses leading the way in making the New Zealand tourism industry a world-class sustainable visitor destination.
The Vicarage is one of only a handful of boutique hotels in this region that have achieved Qualmark Gold status. We are so pleased to be able to deliver an unparalleled guest experience right here in Geraldine.
To all of the guests who have stayed with us over the years and supported us as we transformed The Vicarage to match our vision, thank you!

What a wonderful night we had recently staying at The Vicarage Geraldine. The decor is stunning, of such a high quality and everything is perfectly appointed! The bed was heaven, with quality bedding that I was sad to get out of to be honest. The building has such a rich history and I love you...

This place delivers the sheer sha-bang you're looking for if you want to do Geraldine in style! The rooms have been absolutely divinely decored and the old girl has been magnificently restored to her resplendent former glory. There are rooms both upstairs and downstairs and regardless of...
