Extremely well appointed Bach - kitchen well stocked for the keen cook, plenty of plates, serving dishes, bowls etc.
Comfortable beds, great showers!

A luxurious secret tucked away in Marlborough Sounds
If you're looking for a gorgeous retreat tucked away in the wilds of Marlborough Sounds, you would be hard-pressed to find something as perfectly sited and accommodating as Trudy's in Clova Bay. We had the honor of being the first guests to stay at her newly-renovated home and it was a delight across the board. Yes, it takes quite a few seemingly-endless winding roads to get there from Havelock, but it's the kind of challenge that rewards you at the end with a setting straight off a postcard. Our kids enjoyed fishing from the dock, interacting with the sheep right outside our front door, and sampling the mussels and other treats that caretaker (and next-door neighbor) Marion and her family so generously provided. Most importantly, it's just perfectly quiet and utterly relaxing. Our three nights simply were not enough. If you're looking to hit the reset button and immerse yourself in the beauty of the Sounds, this is most-definitely a location worthy of your consideration.

Best holiday of all times
Loved the location and the house was ideal. Amazing weather the whole time and 3 kingfish which really sealed the deal. Marion is a legend. Dare we say best New Years we’ve ever had. Thanks for having us we will be back!!!!!

Great views from a very clean bach
We had a lovely 7 night stay with great fishing until the weather turned.
Initially we planned on coming by boat from Havelock, but drove in the end and it took more than 2 hours because of towing the boat. We were glad we had driven as carrying our gear 200m along the road and 100m up the driveway would have been a real mission. There is no dingy with the mooring so you need to bring your own or swim.
It is a restful place to sit and do nothing or lots. We visited a Gannet colony, saw seals, and a pod of whales came into the bay.
Trudy is a generous owner and was kind enough let us change our booking at the last minute due to sickness. Marion lives next door and offered to give us a wee tour of the interesting cemetery.

Awesome experience
A beautiful setting for a break from the rushed life we live. Really enjoyed our time here. Kids had fun kayaking on the sunny days we had, great walks and super evenings around the fire. Everything we expected and more.

Hillside living
After a few days camping at the near by DOC camp ground the massive two person bath was just what we needed. Great sun, very clean, fantastic kitchen, mud room and outside filleting station added bonuses. The Veiw, the sun and the location are hard to beat. Way better than a resort, even with a couple near by houses the place feels like you are alone. Great little beaches near by. We will be back.

Fantastic and Relaxing
We had a wonderful relaxing holiday . Four bedroom house was ideal for our family of 6 to 7 ( house can easily take 8 )with plenty of living space. House great for young children as a large grass verge out the front. Also a sheltered area at rear of house or a great place to sit if too hot out the front.
Our hosts were sooo accommodating and sorted anything we needed including a port a cot and the house was very well equipped with extras like salt , pepper, sugar, herbs, flour , gladwrap etc. An outdoor sink to fillet fish.
The boat ramp was 100m away so easy for my husband to launch boat and children can fish off the jetty ( and catch small fish on any tide.).Shell fish plentiful. If you go for a wander there are nice little places to swim and you can also water ski other side of bay. It is a big drive out there ( took an hour and a half from Linkwater ) but once you are there it's worth it . Oh we loved the Hopai Sports Day Picnic in the bay around the corner. Hope to be back as a great place to discover the Sounds.
