A scenic 15 minute boat ride from Havelock to the inner Pelorus Sounds gives you full access to a private jetty with access to a swing mooring for a vessel up to 18 metres.
An easy 100 metre track bike leads you to a modern 3 double bedroom bach. Incredibly private, this modern bach comprises of three double bedrooms, a full bathroom and open plan living with a log burner. Sets of bi-fold doors open out to sunny decks on both sides on the bach making full benefit to the sun, with expansive views overlooking the bay through to Mahau Sounds. Full kitchen facilities with dishwasher saves time in doing dishes (kids will be happy).

Easy to find and access the property. Everything needed is available. Very clean and tidy. Great communication. Views are simply amazing. Wished we could stay longer and hope to be coming back sometime soon. Thanks Paul your property is special and we will cherish the memories from our family stay. D B and K.
Great few days in this comfortable bach. Well equipped with everything we needed for a self sufficient few days. The fire was great as the weather was wild on one of the days and the host checked in during our stay as we briefly lost power. Coffee and fuel available at Te Rawa and good fishing. Definitely recommend!
This property is a remarkable place to stay. Beautiful views out of every window, hours can be spent watching the world going by! Every possible amenity. Boat access only makes it quieter - truly a place to relax. We will definitely be back.
Such a beautiful place for a few days with friends. Caught some fish, swam in the sheltered bay and relaxed on the deck with such amazing views. Paul was great to deal with and went out of his way to make sure our stay was beyond expectations.

Your welcome Chris and pleased you enjoyed your time. Look forward to having you back in the future.
Super location, well equipped batch, magnificant views, great fishing and diving. A first for us crossing the Strait in our boat. Super fun. Definately going back for that one that got away!
Had the most amazing stay at Pinohia, it feels like staying at a home rather than a bach - very well equipped, clean and tidy with everything you need for relaxing, or active relaxing. Sitting by the fire gazing over the sounds was a hit. Will definitely be back!
