The Marlborough Region
You’ll love Marlborough - whether you’re a
Kiwi looking for a relaxing weekend away from the city or from
overseas planning for an unforgettable New Zealand holiday.
Marlborough stretches from the tranquil
Marlborough Sounds in the North to Kaikoura in the South. The
region has the highest number of sunshine hours in New
Zealand, which makes it perfect for enjoying outdoor
activities and, of course, growing grapes.
