Woodside was built in 1877 out of heart rimu. The property features a large macrocarpa tree and is close to pockets of native bush, extensive natural wetlands, and the Wairau River. We are located right off of the Whale Trail Bike Trail and State Highway 1, between Picton and Blenheim, with easy access to both the Marlborough Sounds and neighboring vineyards.

Tuamarina is a small village located roughly halfway between Picton and Blenheim. We are ideally located to access the best of what both towns have to offer. We are only ten minutes drive from the Woodbourne Airport and about a twenty minutes drive from the Interislander Ferry in Picton. The beach, grocery store, chocolate factory, airport, and several eateries are all within a ten-minute drive. Tuamarina is a town close to the Tuamarina and Wairau Rivers, and has an abundance of flora and fauna, including native birds. It is a peaceful, tranquil setting, one reflected in the name, which means "the calm beyond" in te reo Māori.
