Marlborough

Explore the World-Famous Marlborough

French Fields Boutique Suites are in the heart of Marlborough, New Zealand. The Marlborough region is world-famous for its Sauvignon Blanc. Marlborough is located at the top of the South Island of New Zealand and is easily accessible by Inter Island ferries, train from the South, air or road. Marlborough has beautiful landscapes, rich history, and many attractions to enjoy during your stay.

Blenheim is the capital of Marlborough and is one of the sunniest towns in New Zealand, enjoying hot and relatively dry summers with cool, crisp winters. Mountains and vines frame the Blenheim area and trap the summer heat. Throughout the year, we have plenty of famous events such as the Food and Wine festival or Garden Marlborough, which French Fields has participated in, in the past. As it starts to cool, the harvest of the grapes brings a bustle of activity and excitement to the region.
