About this Holiday House

We are happy to give deposit refund if it is covid 19 related. Two, adjacent, character board & batten beach houses have been designed to optimize time with family or friends. Sun-filled living areas open out onto north-facing decks. Both decks are surrounded by bush and overlook the water. Only native birds disturb the solitude. Inside is modern, clean and easy care, with glowing wood floors. From a woodburning stove with wetback and radiators, to insect screens on the windows; every aspect of your comfort is catered for. Drive on access leads to a flat area for parking. The private, golden shingle beach is accessed by a little path through the bush. Even at high tide there is ample room for picnics and small boats on the foreshore. Mahau Sound offers swimming, boating, waterskiing and fishing. The environs have good walking and mountain biking on the Queen Charlotte Track. Restaurants, bars and grocery stores are a short drive away on sealed roads. Kayaks & dinghy available.

Joanna Struthers
My partner and I had a lovely stay. Even though it was winter and a bit wet out, we were cozy inside with the fire and well entertained with all the board and card games available. The place was well-equipped, with all the kitchen equipment we needed to make our meals. The location was easy to get through and so beautiful! We loved the view of the bay from the decks! Communication with the owners was easy and they were very responsive and helpful! We highly recommend Our Utopia after our stay and look forward to hopefully having another lovely getaway there in the future!

We had an extended family vacation and had a great time. Houses are well setup, great communication from the owner and replaced broken washing machine rapidly. Would recommend.
Stuart Smith
We had an excellent time at Our Utopia and this is a superb place for families with the use of the two houses. We had everything we needed and the use of the kayaks and dinghy were a real bonus with fun had by all the family. Great for swimming at higher tides and a quiet beach area where we only saw one other family. Very relaxing and superb views. Would stay again with no hesitation.
Response from Owner
Great renter who left the place beautifully tidy.
