About Marlborough
The Ashleigh Court Motel is situated within a five-minute walk from the town centre and several
award winning restaurants and cafes all serving a wonderful array of local Marlborough produce and wines. You can stroll through Marlborough's many beautiful public gardens, like Seymour Square or Pollard Park or visit one of our local
Art Galleries. The Millennium Gallery is located opposite Seymour Square and is just one gallery showcasing art from around the region.
Craft shops are also common throughout the area. If you enjoy a round of golf, Blenheim also provides lush green
golf courses for your enjoyment. Just want to relax and enjoy the tastes of Marlborough? There are a number of
wine trails that take you to some of Marlborough's world-renowned wineries.
If you enjoy seeing the sites on foot then Marlborough is the place for you. Within Marlborough, walks range from short scenic strolls near Blenheim and
Picton to the world famous 67km
Queen Charlotte track in the
Marlborough Sounds. Alternatively you can enjoy the picturesque scenery from the car with a drive along the Queen Charlotte Road from Picton to Havelock. This would have to be one of New Zealand's most scenic routes. The bush-fringed road winds through to the head of Pelorus Sound and the seaside village of Havelock.
Sightseeing can also be done by boat. There are a number of exciting sightseeing and
fishing charters that leave Havelock and Picton. Enjoy the sites as you travel from one secluded bay to the next. Marlborough has not forgotten about those who enjoy more adventurous activities while on holiday. There is
sea kayaking,
horse trekking,
mountain bike riding, surfing and rafting, just to name a few.
The coast drive to
Kaikoura in the south of the region is one of the most scenic in New Zealand. Many people will know that Kaikoura is world renowned for its
whale watching and dolphin encounters.
For your enjoyment and pleasure the friendly team at Ashleigh Court Motel can help in arranging a number of different tours to cater to your needs.
