Holiday In Marlborough
How’s this for an idea? Take some time off, gather your besties and spend a week or two drinking Sav Blanc in lovely green vineyards.
Think it sounds too expensive? Or too much of a hassle? Think again! We have packages to Marlborough that’ll have you sipping crisp wine, ooh-ing at the sight of sunken valleys, and chowing down on fresh food in no time…without leaving you broke. Book your Marlborough accommodation with us and live every lastminute in New Zealand’s wine capital.Things to See and DoThis fertile part of New Zealand grows two thirds of the country’s wine, so there’s plenty for you to enjoy. Drinking wine in Marlborough is a choose-your-own adventure-style experience. Wineries with evocative names offer you award-winning Sav Blanc and Pinot Noir, complete with succulent lunches and vineyard views. With more than 140 wineries, 36 cellar doors and a couple of craft beer breweries to boot, you have plenty of choices. And if you’re here in Feb, the Marlborough Wine and Food Festival provides heaps of yummy food and refreshing wine mixed with live entertainment and cooking demonstrations. Pay a visit and you can learn to be a wine aficionado AND a boss in the kitchen.If you’re hanging out to take a walk in your fave hiking boots, you can disappear for days on end along the famous Queen Charlotte Track. It takes a few days to get through this 70km trail, but there are spots for you to stay along the way, as well amazing views of one of Marlborough’s most magnificent attractions: Marlborough Sounds, where the green hills rise spectacularly from the sparkling sea. If you wanna be closer to the water, hire a kayak and paddle around the Sound. And if you’d prefer something a little easier than a multi-day walk, take a one-day guided walk somewhere like Motuara Island, home to rare NZ birds.Want to bask in the sunshine? Marlborough’s capital Blenheim is one of NZ’s sunniest towns, so pack your sunscreen and get ready to check it out. Wander around Blenheim’s wineries, let the colourful flowers of Pollard Park amaze you, and take a trip through history at Marlborough Museum.Taking a ferry around Marlborough Sound is a total must-do activity, and you can catch one from Picton. This port town also has cafes, restaurants, art galleries, an aquarium, and a floating maritime museum called The Edwin Fox (which includes the hull of a ship that carried convicts to Australia).Shopping and DiningYou’ll find some decent clothes shops, book shops and souvenir shops in Blenheim, but the BEST kind of shopping in Marlborough is the market kind. Marlborough Farmers Market livens up Blenheim’s A&P Showgrounds every Sunday morning, with home-grown food (including chocolates and cheeses), roasted coffee, and live buskers. Drop in for brekkie or pick up some snacks for later.If you’re craving something delish, there’s plenty of choice on the food front. You can have lunch outside in one of Marlborough’s vineyards, and towns like Blenheim have cuisine from all over the globe.Getting hereIf you’ve been dreaming of a holiday filled with wine, this is your chance! Bundle your accommodation and flights together with us in the one package for some unforgettable and intoxicating Marlborough madness.
