Marlborough Blenheim & Kaikoura
Location
Marlborough Region is situated on the north-eastern corner of the South Island, due west of Wellington.
General
Visitors may fly direct to Blenheim, Marlborough's main town, or take the ferries from Wellington to Picton, the local port in Queen Charlotte Sound. Sunny and dry, Marlborough is sheltered by nearby hills and mountains, and is renowned for its vineyards, delicious food, scenic boat cruising and forest walks.
Blenheim (population 26,000) is an attractive and peaceful town of parks and gardens. Although it has the low-key ambience of rural New Zealand, it has sophisticated cafés, restaurants and bed and breakfast accommodation usually found in larger centres.
Main Attractions / Activities
With the country's largest area of vineyards, Marlborough's major attraction is vineyard visits, wine tasting and cafes. To the north, the sheltered, drowned valleys of the Marlborough Sounds are a boating and fishing paradise.
The quaint waterfront village of Picton is the starting point for an idyllic marine playground, indented with many secluded coves, pristine beaches and sheltered waterways. With 1500km of shoreline, Marlborough offers unlimited opportunities for cruising, sailing, diving and fishing.
One of Marlborough's most scenic hikes is the 67km Queen Charlotte walk, a combination of both forest and coastal scenery. Closer to Blenheim, the Wither Hills Farm Park has a network of trails affording expansive views. On the northern side of the Wairau Valley, Mt Richmond Forest Park is also popular for hiking.
