The long sheltered waterways of the Marlborough Sounds - the gateway to New Zealand’s South Island, the expansive Wairau Plains with ripening vines that disappear into a summer haze. Kaikoura’s rugged Pacific Coastline dwarfed by sheer mountains, and the valleys - Wairau, Awatere, and Clarence, wide and long, driving inland splitting and dividing the landscape.
