Motor Camp & Backpackers Business For Sale
Blenheim, New Zealand
Affordable accommodation close to public transport and shopping Marlborough is internationally acclaimed for producing the world’s most distinctive Sauvignon Blanc wines. Marlborough is New Zealand’s largest wine producing area and accounts for over half of all wine exports. The wine industry and the tourism that it brings have revitalised the Marlborough economy, particularly for employment. Blenheim is the commercial centre of Marlborough and the starting point for vineyard visits, cellar-door wine tasting, fine restaurants, cafes, and tourist ventures of all kinds. Blenheim is also a sought-after area by retired couples and for people seeking a more relaxed lifestyle away from big city hustle and bustle. As a consequence, Blenheim has a chronic shortage of affordable housing, particularly for low income earners.

The Campground also has regular block bookings for sponsored RSE workers.
