Marlborough is known for its dry climate, the picturesque Marlborough Sounds, and Sauvignon blanc wine.
It is a treasure trove of food, wine, arts, culture and scenery just waiting to be explored, and The Marlborough Lodge sits right in the heart of it all. Lots of sun, cool nights, low autumn rains and free draining alluvial soils combine to make Marlborough one of the world’s great wine producing regions. Most wineries can be reached after an easy drive from Blenheim, although the radius of land under cultivation is rapidly spreading. To do the region justice, you should allow at least two days for your visit.
But I think you will not be satisfied in staying just for two day. You can also opt to stay here forever! The people are great, the food is the best and the experience is priceless!
From the car park, follow the walking track for a few minutes through dense podocarp/hardwood forest before emerging onto a viewing platform. From here you can look down to the stunning Hokitika Gorge and out to the lush farmland of Kowhitirangi. This part of the track is accessible for wheelchairs, just to add.
It will not take you an hour to get there!
I suggest you visit and enjoy a walk through native bush to the stunning Hokitika Gorge. The experience is really amazing. I love every minute of it.
