About Us
Since 1998, the Marlborough Web Directory web site has been one of the principal entry points for people using the Internet to search for activities, accommodation, business
services and investment opportunities in the Marlborough region. The site has provided businesses and organisations in the Marlborough region with a vehicle to effectively
promote their products and services to the wider Internet community.After an extensive period of development, the web site has undergone its third complete revamp, with a whole range of new features added or redefined. We have retained the categories that are of inertest to visitors to the area: accommodation, activities, wineries, business, etc., and we've introduced a number of new sections, including a 'fact file' section that outlines Marlborough's population, history and our community.
Why did we do it? We believe that effective and cooperative promotion of the Marlborough region on the Web will create a 'flow-on' effect for all businesses in Marlborough. We have endeavoured to create a web site that can establish 'linkages' from Marlborough to the world. We will continue to offer free listings, although we do ask for reciprocal links.
We hope you will enjoy using our new site and we look forward to hearing any feedback you might have. If you'd like to contact us, please send an email to editor@discovermarlborough.co.nz

It's a Fact...
SEDDON
The township of Seddon is named after New Zealand's longest serving Prime Minister, Richard John Seddon (1845-1906), sometimes known as "King Dick". He is regarded by some as New Zealand's greatest political leader. He was a strong premier, enforcing his authority with great vigour. Accused by his opponents of being an autocrat, he once stated that "a president is all we require", and that Cabinet could be abolished.
