Ok for a Five Minute Break

Have driven past many times but didn't have time to detour. We did have time once. Not a lot to see. Expected to see an information centre or at the very least some information boards. If either are there there they are not easy to...More

Lake Grassmere Salt Lakes

The Lake Grassmere Salt Lakes, while industrial, are a very fascinating place to stop when traveling along Route 1 from Picton to Kaikoura. You will have to be careful and watch for the sign--it comes and goes very quickly. We were there on a Sunday...More

Worth a look

We stopped here on our way south last weekend. Take the first signposted road direct to the salt works, if you want to do a tour of the works, just check before you make the trip south from Blenheim as it is about 30 minutes...More

Don't waste your time

Just an industrial zone, a lake clearly divided for production, no colour, don't waste your time and keep driving

Do Not Miss Marfell's Beach

If you like beach walking then keep going past Lake Grassmere to the end of the road. This a wild and secluded beach well worth the effort to visit.

Incredibly pink

It is less than 3 miles off the main highway. There isn't really a place to pull off and walk around. We don't think tourism is encouraged but it was fascinating to see a pink lake. The little information we found on line indicated that...More

Stopped by on our trip south to show grandaughter the salt piles and explain how salt is made. Could see enough from the road to make the stop worthwhile.
