Stay in our retreat accommodation situated on the edge of our peaceful wetland. The architecturally designed eco space features ceiling to floor windows looking out on nature and recycled native timber.

Experience New Zealand's nature on an award winning tour by kayak, walking or vehicle, exploring the wildlife and human history of the Marlborough region. This is a place of great spiritual significance, being the site of the first known human occupation in New Zealand. It is also a place of great natural beauty. The lagoons are home to over ninety two species of New Zealand birds, including the magnificent royal spoonbill. Driftwood's experienced guides will tell you stories of the people who settled here and help you identify the wildlife as you explore the lagoon area. As part of our commitment to conservation for every tour we take we plant a tree in our protected eight hectare wetland, adjacent to our home. We are currently certified to New Zealand standards for safety management.

We are only a 10 minute drive from the township of Blenheim and Marlborough's wine trail. Blenheim Airport and the Picton ferry terminal are less than 30 minutes away.
