Situated on a working farm, Smiths Farm Holiday Park offers accommodation surrounded by rolling hills and rural gardens. Guests can enjoy feeding and petting the friendly farm animals, which include sheep, cows, pigs and goats. Excellent, accommodating owners who thought of renters' comfort and making a memorable experience for them. They gave us a big bag of food to feed the farm animals, a map for the trail to the waterfall, offered torches for night hike to see the glow worms, a fan in the room (which is something most holiday parks do NOT provide and was much appreciated), and a large container of milk.

Situated in Waikawa, just 3.5 km from Picton in the Marlborough Sounds, Parklands Marina Holiday Park offers guests access to an outdoor pool, jumping pillow, children's playground with a trampoline. The spacious holiday park is surrounded by plenty of leafy trees and grassy areas and is home to many species of native birds. VERY friendly staff who can provide you with all the information you want. We loved our sundeck for early morning sun. It is a perfect place from where you can hike parts of Queen Charlotte, explore the wineries, go to Havelock for mussels or hop on the Pelorus mailboat from there. Otherwise take the Picton mail boat! The cottage has everything you want, we loved our stay.
