About this Holiday House

Sleeps 10. 5 bedrooms. 2 bathrooms Kids welcome. Great for family reunions. This large 2 storeyed open plan house has fantastic views of Mahau Sound, Hikapu Reach and Pelorus Sound. There is a private mooring and a path down to the waterfront through native bush. A new community jetty has been recently built just 400 mtrs from the house, giving great access to the water. The large sundeck affords a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the view. There is also a large lawn in front of the house. A dingy and two kayaks are available. There is good road access from Linkwater, where there is a good country pub and store which sells fuel. It is only a 20 minute drive to the cafes and bars of Havelock and the famous Portage Hotel in Kenepuru Sound. The house is set in 2 acres of mature native bush with glow worms along the driveway at night. The nights are dead still, except for the sound of morepork owls calling across the Sound. The moon rises over the water. A claw foot bath on the deck can be filled from the hot tap to provide a wonderful warm bath under the stars! There is a table tennis table upstairs, a half size pool table downstairs, and plenty of board games and books to read. There is Freeview TV, a DVD player, a CD player, and phone. Bring your own decoder to receive Sky TV. The upstairs lounge gives the kids a place to call their own, with a separate video player and mini music system! An upstairs office area provides good WiFi connectivity, a landline, and photocopier/printer

Can’t find any faults with this property. It was exactly what we wanted from our first trip to the Marlborough Sounds. Superb location with costal frontage, great views and handy boat mooring. New community jetty nearby was great too, managed to catch a few fish from jetty with kids. Nice big house that comfortably accommodated our family of nine. Numerous Tui feeding from bird feeder on the deck. Highly recommend.
Katherine MacNeill
Spacious and great for a big family or two smaller ones to share. My boys loved the pool table and table tennis as the weather was less kind to us. Great to be able to get out on the water when the sun came out however, and the views are always good in any weather. Thanks for letting us borrow your home for a week!

Absolutely fabulous spot that worked so well for our extended family Christmas. Bach very well equipped with views to die for from deck. Surrounded by beautiful bush so feels very secluded but also has very easy access to the water. Boat ramp just down the road , huge jetty & mooring.Highly recommend.
