Marlborough's thousands of acres of vineyards and dozens of wineries create delectable wines of diverse varietals, from full-bodied Pinot Noir to herbaceous Sauvignon Blanc. The countryside boasts unsurpassed beauty, with its majestic mountains, verdant vineyards and the labyrinth of waterways that make up the Marlborough Sounds.

From the initial phone call requesting permission to bring our dogs and then to check in Mel was exceptional, her friendly, kind and thoughtful attitude would be hard to beat, it was a pleasure interacting with her. Confirmation & info emails arrived promptly. The facilities were spotless could not fault. Thank you and well done Picton Top 10 we will be back if the opportunity arises.

Perfect location

Reviewed By nursealana

Modern amenities. Clean and roomy showers with no time limit or cost. 3 minute drive to the ferry and about 1 km walking distance to dog park and town. The only downside is the perfect location next to the ferry also means you get the continual truck noise through the night. Recommend ear plugs or a couple of stiff drinks for a good night's sleep

Great place to stay. Very clean and tidy. Great bathrooms. Beautiful deep Creek next to us. Would definitely stay again. Hardly any noise from highway. Privacy hedges high around each Motorhome makes it quite snug and private. Very handy place to stop on your way to Picton for the ferry the next day.

Smiths Farm Holiday Park

Warm welcome, great value and great views

Reviewed By MurielDiede

I booked a nonpowered site for me and my bike, for a very affordable price. Although arriving late, I received the warmest welcome! I had a delicious warm banana muffin, a clean towel which was very very nice as mine was wet, and I got some food to feed the animals which absolutely made my day. The showers are great, everything was clean and spacious. Highly recommend!

Blenheim Bridges Holiday Park

Nice place to stay

Reviewed By J M

Nice place to stay, good location, clean only problem we found was no electric blanked in ensuite rooms. In winter and paying that price you expect electric blankets. Owner told us rooms had heat pumps. Heat pumps don’t heat beds in winter. Further electric blankets not expensive. Everything else was great. Best car wash I’ve found in motor home park. Buckets cloths and brushes, wash liquid and good water pressure.

Ngahere Hou

Hidden gem in the Marlborough Sounds

Reviewed By nopar65

We stayed one night @ Ngahere Hou because we were walking the Queen Charlotte Track. We ha a wonderful stay. The owners have thought of all the details for wary walkers: hot tub, wonderful shower, access to a full kitchen (also pizzas available), bottle of wine, super comfortable bed, hammocks, yummy croissants and freshly baked bread for breakfast. It's a real gem. Getting there can be a bit of an adventure going downhill through the bush (about half an hour). It took us less time to go up so it should not be a deal breaker.

Ok.

Reviewed By Zoltan330

This campground was within in walking distance of the cbd and was easy to find. The patron wasn't overly helpful and left me to find my own way around. No cutlery, plates etc available, you need to bring your own. The facilities were good. Plenty of space in the kitchen/dining area. Wifi is not complimentary. Extra cost. $20 for a night.
