Property info

Guests enjoy coming to Smiths Farm as we are very relaxed and friendly. We try to keep our facilities and units very clean and we are always available to help guests with their travel throughout NZ. We strive to offer excellent service. Guests can take a hike through the farm interacting with farm animals and at night they can walk to see the glow worms. On clear nights the stars are amazing with excellent views of the Milky Way. We are very close to beaches, hiking on the Queen Charlotte Track, mountain biking tracks or sea kayaking. A short drive away is the Marlborough Wine Region, the Omaka Aviation Centre, Makana Chocolate Factory and many fine restaurants and cafes. Come and see how brilliant Marlborough is!

Neighborhood info

The Linkwater valley links the Mahau Sound on one end and the Queen Charlotte Sound on the other. The park is centrally located to the Marlborough Region and all it has to offer such as mountain biking, wine tours, sea kayaking, tramping on the Queen Charlotte Track or the Link Pathway, boating, sailing, fishing or just plain old relaxing! The farm is very scenic and the walks through the bush and nearby are fantastic if you are into nature.
