A modern house on two levels with magnificent views. There's drive-on access to the property with off-road parking for two vehicles, and a walking track down through native bush to the jetty. Additional vehicles and boat trailers can be parked by the roadside. The property has two moorings and dinghies and kayaks for use.
The house has a bluetooth stereo, magazines, games in a cupboard, a TV for watching movies you bring with you, and gets a clear signal for 2degrees, Vodafone and Telecom mobiles. But there’s deliberately no TV aerial or satellite dish. If you’re looking for more to do, it’s only 3km to the bar, restaurant and boat ramp at the nearby Portage Hotel, or 7km for coffee at Te Mahia or Mistletoe Bay.
Note that this is a family holiday home that's rented occasionally to contribute to the running costs. It is not a permanent rental, and needs to be looked after by guests. Under Marlborough District Council Sounds Resource Management Plans the house is limited to a maximum of 5 Paying guests.
Special conditions: Prices are for 4 people, with extra people $10 each. Two night minimum stay. We live too far away to service the house, so linen cannot be supplied and guests must clean the house when departing. Neighbours unlock and open the house for guests. Ask us about our moorings if you wish to use them. And please note that our house is no smoking, and no dogs or other pets.
NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house and do the dishes before you leave, and bring your own linen (sheets/pillowcases/towels/bathmats/tea towels).
You will be responsible for any damage to the rental property caused by you or your party during your stay.

A Beautiful location … worth the journey to get there.
Host is very accommodating and easy to get in touch with.
We really appreciated the use of the kayaks … which were great for exploring the neighbouring bays.
