Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Great little shop in an otherwise uninteresting town. I was looking for a merino/possum sweater in my last couple of days in NZ, and Blue Penguin had a good selection of ponchos and sweaters in addition to hats, gloves, and scarves. I bought a beautiful sweater at a better price than what I was seeing online. Can't comment on their other merch as I has laser focused in the sweaters!

I like those shopping places that are "one stop shop" and this was a nice souvenir shop, with a range of typical NZ souvenirs, that were reasonably priced. Plus for us, was the level of service. Very nice lady who assisted us and was very accommodating.

This is a great place to learn how to make your own NZ Jade jewelers. Roland was awesome and took our reservation for the next morning and met us there with his wife at 9:00 AM. After 2 hours everyone in the family had made an excellent piece under the care guidance of Roland and some really good diamond grit equipment. If you are heading to the ferry book the 2:15 PM and show up at Bluepenguin in Blenheim at 9:00 for an awesome experience.

Just across the street from the I-site at the Blenheim train station, this shop has the best selection and most reasonable prices for quality NZ gifts. Save yourself the time in the junk tourist shops and just do it all here.

Loved the variety of gifts for sale. We went back again just prior to leaving for Picton to buy a beautiful scarf as the ferry was delayed by an hour.

Have stopped by the shop was just for a quick look if anything caught my eye. Greeted by really nice shop owner and amazed by the variety of natural nz products and other kiwi style gifts. Have spent quite bit more than planned but saved the trouble to hunt around for gifts and totally worth for money. Definitely best shop in Marlborough!

Nice and easy to find, just opposite the railway station. Got a lot of good selections. Always the first place to go when I want to buy gifts for someone. They also make their own fantastic paua and green stone jewelleries. The staff there are really friendly and gave a lot of help on my gift selections. Love their little gallery as well.
