The Marlborough Airport, also known as Woodbourne Airport and Blenheim Airport is with around 250.000 passengers a year, a medium-sized airport located about 8 km west of the town of Blemheim in the northwest corner of the South Island of New Zealand.
The Marlborough Airport was one of the first airports in New Zealand and is still one of the few remaining air force bases (Base Woodbourne). The terminal building was recently renovated and includes a cafe and free wifi.
Air New Zealand Link (Air Nelson and Mount Cook) have flights to Auckland and Wellington while Sounds Air flies to Christchurch, Kapiti Coast, Napier and also to Wellington.
Although no buses stop at the airport, there is a bus stop about 100 meters east of the airport entrance. From here you can take one of the InterCity buses.
Shuttles and taxis are available just outside the exit doors. The shuttle service costs about $20 to central Blenheim and takes about 20 minutes.
Rental cars are available as well: the offices are just to the left when you exit the terminal. The rental car park can be found by passing the offices and by using the pedestrian crossing to get to the other side of the road. From there are signs pointing you to the car park.
