If you’re coming to Marlborough for the Saint Clair Vineyard Half Marathon, now’s the time to start thinking about booking in some accommodation.

Vineyard Half weekend, which also coincides with the delicious Feast Marlborough, is a popular weekend in Marlborough – providing people with the ultimate pre-winter escape.

But that means accommodation fills up quickly! Are you looking for options? Well here are a few of our favourites.

If you’re looking for the full Marlborough experience and hoping to get lost amongst a vineyard or whisked away to our pristine Marlborough Sounds following the race, check out the many lodges we have dotted around the region, thanks to this directory from Destination Marlborough.

Of course, if private accommodation is more your thing, Airbnb, Holiday Houses and Bookabach have lots of stunning listings in this beautiful place we call home. You’ll find everything from vineyard cottages to waterside escapes. Book a house, book in some mates and pack the wine for the perfect weekend.

There are also a heap of options in all corners of Marlborough, be sure to check out Picton, Waikawa and Havelock for your perfect getaway spot. There are also great camp sites, including cabins, in both Blenheim and Picton, if you’d prefer to save your money for eating and drinking while you’re here!

If you haven’t already locked in your race ticket, make sure you don’t leave it too late. You’ll find the link here. We’re so looking forward to seeing you all on 8 May!
