The best time to go to Te Mahia is during the summer months, from December to February, when the weather is warm and sunny, superb for enjoying the Marlborough Sounds.During this period, you can expect long, bright days with average temperatures ranging from 20°C to 25°C. This is ideal for water activities such as kayaking, swimming, and boating, as well as hiking the Queen Charlotte Track. The calm waters of the Sounds are particularly inviting for exploring the numerous coves and beaches.Late spring (November) and early autumn (March-April) also offer pleasant conditions with fewer crowds. Temperatures are still mild, typically between 15°C and 20°C, making it a good time for those who prefer a more relaxed pace. You'll still be able to enjoy most outdoor activities, and the natural scenery remains stunning.For those looking to avoid the busiest tourist season and still enjoy good weather, March and April are particularly lovely.
