Marlborough also boasts the longest coastline of New Zealand made up of our magnificent Marlborough Sounds, around the Bays of Queen Charlotte Sound, Keneperu Sound and Pelorus Sound.

If you are an aviation enthusiast, Omaka Aviation Heritage Museum for Peter Jackson's amazing classic air displays of WW1 and WW2. will impress.

Art galleries or award winning gardens with a display of native and exotics. 

Landscape colours and hues at this time of the year are breath-taking.  The blue grey of the hill ranges, the aftermath of the harvest from yellow to golds to the resting vines. At this time you can view the hard work of the staff pruning and getting ready for the new season of grapes and wine for your table.

Snow appears on the Southern most mountains of the Kaikoura Ranges and eventually blending into the great Southern Alps. The ski field is close by only 2 hours drive, plus the crystal clear lake of St Arnaud offering a breath-taking walk among the NZ native bush and around the lake.

The Pacific Ocean is sparkling on our East Coast  between Wellington and Picton. The ferries bring visitors and locals back and forth.  Water sports are popular and the sealife of dolphins and seals are a wondrous option.


Widely known in Marlborough, and a delicacy to most, the farmed green-lip mussels and salmon, the North Canterbury lamb ventures its way up to Marlborough and even venison and the pork belly - a must to try!

Often you have a chance to taste the local cheeses, oils, liqueurs, garlic noir, manuka honey, chilli peanut butters and many more delicious tastes. Not to mention Makana Boutique Chocolate Confections with a taste waiting for you at the front door.
