Marlborough New Zealand - Regional Information
25/08/2011
Update: 25 August 2011.
Spring is just around the corner, and with the longer daylight hours and warmer weather, there are plenty of things to do in Marlborough. Unfortunately a passing visitor with a car load of wealthy tourists could not find any information on local activities when needed, and wrote to local media expressing his dissatisfaction.
Marlborough actually does have a lot to offer, but people outside the region don't know, and locals need to go the extra mile to make visitors welcome.
