About this property

Ngakuta Bay, Marlborough Sounds.

This is an original family-owned 1970s beachfront property in Ngakuta Bay. It is 15 minutes drive from Picton around Queen Charlotte Drive.

NOTE: we provide a traditional Kiwi bach experience. This means the property is not serviced between guest stays.
You are expected to:
Vacuum, mop and wipe any marks you have made,
Do the dishes and tidy surfaces before you leave,
Bring all your own linen; towels, sheets, tea towels etc,
Take away any rubbish with you as there is no collection service

Korora Cottage offers amazing views of tranquil Ngakuta Bay. The water is calm for safe swimming and water sports. It is wonderful place to unwind. The bach is close to the foreshore where you will find walking and biking tracks and many other places you can explore.

There is a public boat ramp in the bay to allow you to explore and/or fish the waterways of Queen Charlotte Sound. There is a bach mooring available with prior approval for $50 per night.

About the host

We love to read about everyone’s holiday when we come up. It is really cool to be able to share this place with so many other people. Mum and Dad bought this place in the early 70s. We had been coming up here to stay since the early 60s. They paid just $3000 for it then. Hard to believe now.
There is a picture up on the dresser in the lounge which shows what the original cottage looked like. It was a couple of army huts. The main one had a coal range in it and that is what we did our cooking on. I have memories of cooking our toast on a toasting fork up against the fire on the coal range. In the mid 70s Mum and Dad had the main Cottage built.
Mum and Dad have since passed on and it is our privilege to carry on their legacy and preserve the Cottage for future generations. Each new generation gets taught how to fish, how to row and drive the boat, and of course how to jump off the jetty in the summer.
