More Information

The Marlborough Sounds chiefly consists of Queen Charlotte Sound serviced from Picton where the Cook Strait ferry service from Wellington calls in, and Pelorus Sound serviced from Havelock. They are a labyrinth of spectacularly beautiful waterways bounded by idyllic bays and coves. Many of these bays are accessible only by boat, whether your own or by water taxi or by chartered yacht from any one of the charter boat companies in Picton. Kayaking around the Marlborough Sounds has also become a popular form of recreation. Most of the Marlborough holiday homes & houses even offer use of a dinghy; great for twilight fishing in the sheltered fiords.

Blenheim, the largest town in the region, is situated on the Wairau Plains, New Zealand’s largest planted area of grapes and home of the world renown New Zealand sauvignon blanc. Numerous winery tours are on offer or you can simply drive or pedal around them yourself, tasting their wares as you go or stopping off for lunch. Alternatively there is the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival held in February each year.

The east coast down to Kaikoura is also served by Marlborough holiday homes & houses making the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for whale watching a very real possibility. Whale watching tours dominate the local industry and in addition to whales you’ll see dolphins, albatross and seals. Kai is Maori for food and koura is crayfish, get one or get many and take them back to one of the Marlborough holiday homes & houses for “a decent feed”.
