Important features of the Marlborough Region

But wait! There's more! Underpinning the Marlborough economy are strongly performing mussel Industry, agriculture and further horticulture ventures.

Tourism facilities have expanded and having a deep water port in Shakespeare Bay has enabled an increasing amount of cruise boats to visit the area. We are also fortunate to have the Woodbourne airforce base here. In addition to this the climate (and billed in the top three places of New Zealand for sunshine hours) attract people who are able to enjoy our relaxed lifestyle. A culmination of all these factors have led a strong, stable, economy and a growth in residential activity with several areas being released for subdivision.

"Marlborough is hot with an expanding property market and is one of New Zealand's hidden gems" says Marlborough Property Investors association's Mariette Knudsen. She further adds,

" Prices are very strong, the rental market is strong and Marlborough is a very good place to rent. It is still small enough for you to know what is going on, both as a renter and as a landlord."

The Marlborough Property Investors' Association caters for both residential and commercial investors. It has well attended monthly meetings covering a range of topics pertinent to the very new to the seasoned investor. The MPIA is fortunate to have good support locally and nationally from professionals in the community who are willing to share their expertise at these monthly events. Exchanging ideas and making long lasting friendships are a feature of this organisation.

The development of the wine industry has put Marlborough on the World Stage and it is a credit to the viticulture industry here. The Economy of the Marlborough area, however, has many aspects to it which provide a strong foundation enabling the investor to by with confidence secure in the knowledge that this gem will continue to shine brightly in the future.
