Welcome to Marlborough

Nau mai! Haere mai!

Marlborough is a place based at the geographic centre of Aotearoa New Zealand.
A place blessed with many different story lines, bound by the Nukuo Ariki - the four valleys. Standing strong together to protect its people and place. These four valleys are: Te Hoiere- Pelorus Valley, Kenepuru - Havelock and surrounding Sounds, Wairau - Blenheim, Renwick and beyond, and finally Awatere - Seddon, Ward and beyond.

Be a guardian of Marlborough, connect with its locals, be curious to try something new, be connected with the environment. Be active.
