The Beach Cabin Number Two
A beautiful little cabin in a peaceful setting over looking a lovely little harbour. Super close to Picton so if getting the ferry makes life a lot easier / quicker! Had slight confusion getting in but David was super quick to respond & came to make sure all was okay - friendly & responsive! Really comfy bed & lovely little touches left for guests. Highly recommend!

Nature Getaway
We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

Beach house 4 bdrm - Absolute waterfront! Waikawa
We had a wonderful family Christmas holiday by the sea. The location is amazing being on Queen Charlotte Sound with beautiful views across Waikawa and the sea. We went fishing from the jetty and very much appreciated the use of the paddle boards and kayak and hot tub. Its one of those places where you don't feel you need to 'go anywhere' but to just stay and relax which I guess is what holidays are for. It was hard to leave this holiday home

Tui Cottage-Waterfront cottage, Waikawa Bay/Picton
Tash’s Bach is an excellent place to be and relax. Communication with Tash was great. I loved being close to the water.

*Ngakuta Bay Waterfront* Queen Charlotte Sound
We had an amazing stay at Ben’s house.Its in a great location and has a great fireplace: the beds were very comfortable and loved being able to use the kayaks. The Fejoa tree was enjoyed by the kids

A beautiful apartment by the lake side. Very comfortable stay with full furnishings. Clean and new room.

Slice of Paradise, Marlborough Sounds Sunset Bach
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.

Vintage Caravans by the Sea
Kerry's historic campervans are a unique gem! You'll especially love the view over the Moetapu Bay. The campervans are equipped with everything you need and we had no problems cooking dinner and breakfast. The outdoor shower is also an experience for itsself. Kerry is a truly friendly and accommodating host, he always responded swiftly to our messages.

Waterfall Bay Boathouse
Stunning place, surrounded by beautiful nature. Karen has done an excellent work on the place to make you feel comfortable and welcome with subtle details.

Wahi O Te Aroha - Island Point Bay, Kenepuru Sound
An oasis only a bit more than an hour from the ferry. Clean and well-stocked, and a great value to boot! Bedrooms are separated from the living area by a nice hallway so noise isn’t an issue, and the beach is only occupied by a few other houses so feels perfectly deserted! Rebecca was super responsive and we’ll definitely be back…

Idyllic getaway in the Marlborough Sounds
This is a wonderful, comfortable house with absolutely stunning view. Seriously, the views are breathtaking! Food for your soul. The direct trail down to the beach was easy enough, and the toys (SUP, frisbee, bikes, pool table, etc.) made for plenty of fun. The kitchen / pantry were well appointed with everything we needed to cook family meals. And the outdoor table made al fresco dinning a joy. Beds were super comfortable and rooms (bed and baths) nicely spacious. The host was responsive and very friendly. 100% recommended!

Picton Marina - 4 Fisherman’s Quay
this is a great place to stay while visiting Picton. Location is lovely and easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Loved watching the activity in the marina. Accommodation was very well appointed and clean and comfortable. Note - make sure to read the location and access instructions before you arrive (will save some confusion) and the internal access to downstairs bedroom is via a narrow spiral stairs. Would definitely stay again next time we visit Picton!

Has a beach front paradise
Simply the best location! Beautiful views across the bay and perfectly situated across the road from the jetty, which has a bench seat to enjoy the sunrise and sunset with a coffee or beer. Halfway situated between Havelock and Picton, and 5 minutes from the start of the Queen Charlotte Track, this is the ideal location for walks and exploring the Sounds. The ideal home away from home

Nydia Bay cottage beside the sea in Pelorus Sound
Marty and Sabine are wonderful hosts. They are long term residents and have lovingly created their home in this exquisite location. You cannot find a more peaceful and soulful spot. Swim, hike, read a book and be grateful that you landed here!

OYSTER BAY Waterfront Retreat @ Marlborough Sounds
Amazing spot with beautiful setting. Lots to do and see on the property itself and nearby places to go fishing and skiing/donuting if you have your own boat. Even if wind is up there is always a place to find shelter and Tory channel remains pretty flat water. Wes was a great host and very chill! We would love to return

Point of View
Had a wonderful stay. It’s a truly stunning spot. Being able to drive to the bach, having a mooring and a sandy beach a few minutes walk away made for a really special family holiday.

Moetapu Bay Bliss - Marlborough Sounds Retreat
Fantastic, secluded location. Perfect accommodation for us, an extended family group of 9. Well equipped and spacious. The house had great access to the Sound including a mooring for our boat as well as kayaks for use. Inside the house had brilliant entertainment options including table tennis, pool table and games.
