Marlborough Hotels
| If you are a wine buff or just a wine novice, our Marlborough accommodation is just the ticket for exploring New Zealand’s largest grape-growing and wine-making region. The broad, sweeping plains are home to about 70 wineries. Discover and enjoy on a self-drive, bicycle or guided tour. For centuries, Marlborough has offered safe harbour to travellers. First to Maori traders and war parties; then to European explorers, such as Captain James Cook and Dumont D’Urville; and now to visitors seeking new landscapes and rejuvenating experiences. Our Marlborough hotels are a perfect base for you to go and explore the Marlborough Sounds. Bordered by forest that rises almost vertically from the water’s edge, three drowned river valleys offer 1500km of sheltered beaches and waterways for sailing, cruising, kayaking, fishing and diving. Or, for the keen tramper, the Queen Charlotte Track is a spectacular walking track that winds through 71km of native forest, along ridges and beside idyllic coves. Travel with a local guide to learn about the habitat and hear the local Maori legends. If you arrive in the region by sea or air, the intricate detail of the Marlborough Sounds engages your interest immediately. Maori legend describes the entire South Island as Maui’s waka (canoe), wrecked on a reef during a fishing expedition. The shattered bow of the canoe became the Sounds. Marlborough basks in year-round sunshine, providing perfect conditions for walking, mountain biking, sea kayaking and vineyard explorations. It’s a region where you can pick a theme and follow it through. Focus your itinerary on outdoor adventures, vineyards and wineries, arts and crafts, history and gardens or marine pursuits. Better still, mix them up and experience a little of everything this beautiful region has to offer. Other popular regions to stay near Marlborough: |
