The cottage is located down the 'quiet' end of the beach on a private section. The back of the property runs down to a safe tidal estuary that's very popular with children to play around in canoes and small boats. There is a 50m walking track to the main beach just across the road and there is a boat ramp further down the beach. This cottage is ideal for a family or small group wanting a holiday at one of NZ's most beautiful beaches, or as a base to explore the greater bay area.

Camelot Island Retreat

5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviews5 days ago

Paul’s house and setting matched our expectations from the listing. It was very clean, tidy, spacious, warm and nicely furnished. The lounge, dining and kitchen area looked out across the garden to the beach. Unfortunately it rained for most of our short stay so we didn’t take as much advantage of the outdoor setting and facilities as we might have otherwise done. Despite that our party of 4 adults and 3 children all enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and were quick to answer any queries we had.

Slice of Paradise, Marlborough Sounds Sunset Bach

4.97 out of 5 average rating, 68 reviews1 month ago

I booked this accommodation for our TV host and he absolutely loved the place. He couldn't stop sending pictures of the beautiful vista from the deck and loved the peaceful surroundings right on the water. Tamsin was extremely helpful with extra amenities and local recommendations and check in was easy.

Awaroa - Abel Tasman National Park

4.99 out of 5 average rating, 93 reviews1 month ago

Our stay at Awaroa Bach was unforgettable. Elva and Geoff were incredibly welcoming and generous with their time, offering local insight that helped us make the most of our visit. The bach is peaceful, well-appointed, and perfectly located with easy access to the estuary and nearby water taxi stops. We loved the spacious bedroom, outdoor kitchen with BBQ, and thoughtful touches like fresh herbs from Elva’s garden. A highlight was kayaking at high tide and spotting manta rays—truly magical. On our last night, we shared dinner with Elva, Geoff, and some neighbors, which made us feel genuinely at home. Highly recommended.

Sleeps 5 , Waterfront, Endeavour Inlet

4.8 out of 5 average rating, 60 reviews1 month ago

Everything was great, wish we had booked for longer. Cougar lines will drop your bags to the jetty right outside the batch. This would be a great place to base yourself for multiple day walks using the ferry service for return. Kitchen is set up for cooking. Easy walk to Furneaux Lodge. We had the pleasure of meeting Brian and it was nice to hear about the history of the area and his family. Highly recommend. Thanks Brian!
