Blenheim and Marlborough
Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine-producing region and the long hot
summers make for wines that are world famous. The long hot summers also make for
great beach holidays and, fortunately, this region has among the prettiest
beaches in the country – sandy bays nestled against bush-clad hills. There are
many more beaches to explore in the Nelson region, northwest of Marlborough.
A short drive south of the Marlborough Sounds, on the sunny Wairau Plains, is
Blenheim, the major urban centre of the Marlborough region. The small and
friendly town, with a superb climate, good parks and gardens is the gateway to
one of the country's finest wine-growing regions. During the second week in
February Blenheim hosts the now-famous Marlborough Food and Wine Festival at
Montana's Barncott Estate.

Queen Charlotte Trail –
diverse coastal track
There are plenty of walks around Blenheim, offering
expansive views of the town and surrounding areas.
But there is one you definitely shouldn’t miss: The
Queen Charlotte Track.
The 71 km-long, diverse coastal track is accessed by
boat from Picton to its beginning at the scenic
reserve of Ship Cove.
The unique aspects of this track are the variety of
accommodation available along the track and the
water transport services which allow your luggage to
be transferred each day, whether you are walking
guided or freedom. |
