With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Blenheim, 45 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Cloudy Bay, Pollard Park and Seymour Square. Situated 50 miles away, Picton is another popular option. If you drop by, don’t miss Picton Ferry Terminal, Picton Harbour and Lochmara Lodge Marlborough Sounds Wildlife Recovery Centre.
