Located at the Northern tip of the South Island, the Marlborough Sounds offers pristine waterways, memorable nature encounters, and unbelievably fresh food and wine. This region is still largely undeveloped, so it’s easy to find a tranquil and uncrowded bay to explore. Accommodation options are limited, but there’s a hideaway tucked into a secluded cove in the Queen Charlotte Sound that I absolutely love - Bay of Many Coves Resort. It is perfect for those seeking a mix of luxury, adventure, and relaxation.
