MARLBOROUGH SOUNDS REGION
The Marlborough Sounds Region is made up of several smaller precincts including Nelson, Picton, Tasman, Blenheim and the Sounds themselves.
Nelson is an art city and achieves more sunny days per year than anywhere else in New Zealand. It is also the gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park, known for its golden beaches, sculptured granite cliffs, and world-famous coast track.
The Marlborough Wine Region is located in Blenheim and is the largest export wine producing area of New Zealand and also where the world famous Green Lipped Mussels are farmed. The best way to arrive on the South Island is on the Wellington Ferry which arrives at the pretty seaport town of Picton, just to the north.
