Welcome to the sunny top of the south! The damn cool hostels alone are enough to make you want to stick around for a while, but the wineries and stunning Marlborough Sounds are kind of Ok too. And you don’t have to spend a fortune to make the most of Picton, Blenheim and Havelock. If you’re feeling adventurous, we also recommend a trip to French Pass; you’ll know why when you get there. It’s all here to plan on New Zealand’s largest travel guide.
