Picton & Marlborough Sounds
At Jasmine Court Travellers' Inn, we will assist with advice and bookings for all your holiday activities.
Picton is the ideal base to relax, unwind and explore the spectacular Marlborough Sounds. The sheltered waterways are ideal for cruising, fishing, diving, sea kayaking and nature watching.
The Queen Charlotte Track is on Picton's doorstep, just a water taxi drive away to one of the South Islands best walking tracks. With daily departures to various points along the track you are sure to find an adventure suited to your needs.
Only 20 minutes drive away are the Marlborough Vineyards. Home to over 60 premier vineyards and boutique wineries. Wine tasting tours of the vineyards are very popular. Many have restaurants and range from café style to a fine dining experience.
Also worth a visit is the Omaka aerodrome, with the world's largest collection of first world war planes.
Shorter town based activities include: a trip around the harbour on "Nellie" the Scow, a round of Mini-golf, a visit to "Edwin Fox" Maritime Centre, the Marlborough Aquarium and Picton Museum. Browse in small Souvenir shops. Relax and enjoy a meal in one of the many bars & cafés.
