It was a fantastic time staying at the house. We had everything we needed, and even enjoyed some lovely bread with jam.The house is very well located for walking tracks, and both the jetty for the boat and the restaurant were easy to reach.Thank you very much for such a lovely stay.Kind regards, Tine, Alex and Ines

Special place

Loved our stay here, classic kiwi bach! Kayaks were great and an easy walk to the Lodge nearby for a meal. Easy to get to and feel so far away from everything. An incredibly beautiful spot

Long weekend in the Sounds

We loved this property. Very close to the jetty - just a short walk (albeit uphill) to the bach. The views are lovely from the deck. Having access to a dingy and a buoy to attach to was great for fishing. Will stay here again.

Stunning Spot

We loved our Sounds week, this was a great spot which suited across the 3 generations in our group. The communication and care from property owners was A+/above expectations. It is up a steep climb which was very slippery during our stay, but not an issue at all, part of the experience. We would love to come again, thanks Liz and Bruce.

Beautiful house and perfect location

This was our second visit, and I hope it won't be our last. Despite some very patchy weather we had a great time – walking, kayaking, swimming, and just enjoying the glorious views from the deck. The house is spacious and well equipped, and the six of us had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts went out of their way to help us, and their communication was excellent throughout.

Amazing spot even in the rain!

Amazing spot with everything you need right on your doorstep! Beautiful setting, with a great deck for BBQing, taking in the view and containing our girl. Complete with weka making their daily rounds! Easy stroll up the way to the lodge, not too bad even with the rain. Great lunch and coffee. Easy communication with our host - the detailed instructions and setup were perfect.

Endeavour stay

Very nice accommodation, access to house from jetty not good and not explained well in description. Boat mooring needs some serious attention. Overall very pleasant.

Amazing Spot

Absolutely amazing place! PARADISE Great for familys, board games there to use and kyaks. Liz and Bruce were super easy to deal with and responded to messages very quickly! The area the house is in is very cool for kids! With lots of walks to do and nice being where you can bump into other people or not if you choose. A little walk up a hill to the house but great bit of fitness and a lovely view! Highly recommended this place and hosts.

Nice stay in the bay.

This house is located a short walk up from the Jetty. The track to the house was fine to walk as it was dry weather. It is steep in sections and I wouldn’t want to tackle it in poorer weather. The house is older but well looked after and is a fair price for the condition as described. We used the mooring and it was easy to navigate with the dingy supplied.

New Years at Furneaux Lodge 2023

Unfortunately our plans changed and not all of us made it out there due to very strong Southerly weather conditions but those that made it had a great stay, excellent communications with Liz the property owner thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with some of us. The only comment with regards to taking your own boat is mooring is quite exposed in a Southerly wind just something to consider.

Stunning location

Lots of space, everything we needed. A great location for walking, water activities and easy to reach Furneaux lodge. Bird life and pungas galore. Could even watch dolphins feeding - from the house. We came during a cold spell so was a little difficult to heat the place. Otherwise lovely.

Endeavour Inlet cosy family bach

The bach is really cosy, perfect for our small family of 3. The owners' welcoming and communication had been great from the moment I've booked the bach. We have really enjoyed staying at this wonderful family bach, in the midst of isolated beauty of Endeavour Inlet. The walk to Resolution Bay from Endeavour Inlet's really scenic, a must do! Kudos the Endeavour Inlet's community trust people who worked hard to bring back more birds 🐦👍👏 we were literally followed by curious chirping piwakawakas as we walked along the track. Lovely! 😀
