Home to some of New Zealand’s most serene farmland, lush countryside and sparkling waters, the township of Picton is located at the head of Queen Charlotte Sound and is the gateway to the spectacular South Island.
The bustling port of Picton is used for numerous ferry crossings between the North and South Islands and is situated at the head of the picturesque Queen Charlotte Sound. The Lynx, Blue Bridge and Interislander ferries operate daily for the transportation of passengers and vehicles wanting to cross between Wellington and the mainland.
The first europeans to settle in Marlborough were whalers in the early 1820's. Today Picton serves as a the center for Marlborough Sounds fishing and aquaculture. The charming village is nestled on an attractive foreshore and offers enjoyable activities ranging from fishing, dolphin and seal watching to award winning Eco tours, mountain biking, kayaking and short walks.
The township boasts a good selection of arts, crafts and souvenirs plus a wide choice of accommodation, waterfront cafes and fine restaurants with delicious seafood to satisfy the discerning traveller. For a more relaxed experience grab a picnic bench under the palm trees and dine on local fresh fish ‘n’ chips as you enjoy the splendid views up the harbor. |
