Marlborough: Days of wine...and scarce rentals
The Marlborough region is renowned for its sunny climate and fine wine.
It’s also well known for aquaculture and tourism, with the Marlborough Sounds being the jewel in its tourism crown.
The region has a population of about 42,000 and two main urban centres, Blenheim and Picton. Blenheim, the heart of commercial activity, is by far the larger, with about 27,000 residents. Picton’s population is less than a quarter of that, but it swells markedly over summer with the influx of holidaymakers.
Picton is the main gateway to the Sounds and an important transport hub, providing ferry connections between the North and South Islands.
