Marlborough Delights Tour
Quality accommodation
The accommodation partners that Cycle Turismo has selected have luxury or deluxe ratings. The majority of these are unique boutique lodgings often within or surrounded by working vineyards, and available to Cycle Turismo only because of our Small Group Tour policy.
As a rule we avoid hotel accommodation outside of major metropolitan areas, preferring the ambience, atmosphere and friendliness of smaller offerings.
We base ourselves in one place for several days allowing you to enjoy the best cycling, food and wine in that region. No getting up every morning and moving on. There's less time spent packing and more time to indulge and relax.
Here is a flavour of the sort of Accommodation that we will arrange for you. Let us know if you have any preferences and we’ll endeavour to arrange these for you. (All accommodation options are subject to availability on the selected dates of course.)
