Discover Marlborough’s Quality of Life
Marlborough is blessed. Blessed by its superb climate - its spectacular environment - its rich diversity - and most of all by its quality of life. And it’s making the very best of these assets. The region’s innovative economic development strategy seeks to build a prosperous community through best practice management of the economy, environment and social issues. It says “The quality of life is not negotiable”.
Everyone who is caressed by Marlborough’s warm heart wants to return – to be part of it. And more and more people from every walk of life are choosing to call Marlborough home. It’s a microcosm of all the things good about New Zealand. Once a sleepy rural community it is fast becoming a powerhouse of economic diversity – while protecting its essential qualities of space, sunshine, clean air and water, and warm hearted people.
The region sits proudly at the top of the South Island, almost perfectly equidistant from Invercargill in the South and Auckland in the North. Separated from the capital Wellington by the 22Km wide Cook Strait, the two cities are only 20 minutes apart by air.
Marlborough is defined by its diversity - geographic, climatic and economic –
unrivalled in New Zealand and maybe the world. It’s not just the serenity and
grandeur of the Marlborough
Sounds, nor the secure womb like qualities of the Wairau
Plains that define Marlborough. Not the vast hinterlands of the Awatere
and Molesworth – not even the breathtaking ruggedness of the Kaikoura coastline
where mountains rise out of the depths of the ocean and pierce the sky. Even the
very special climate isn’t the defining factor. For Marlborough is all these things
and more. Much more. More vitality. More spirit. More desire to be the best.
A combination of a broad spread of industry sectors, favourable business climate, proximity to major centres, it’s central location, temperate climate, a cornucopia of outdoor activities and a warm welcoming community make this a very special place. Wrapped together with first class health, social services, expanding education facilities and an ever evolving culture of arts, fine wine and dining round Marlborough out as a very desirable place to live – and to do business from.
Close your eyes. Picture a quality of life the world only dreams about. Then come join us in Marlborough.
