It was an exquisite day. It was one of those days so clear, so still, so silent, you almost feel the earth itself has stopped in astonishment at it's own beauty.

The Marlborough Sounds New Zealand, and surrounding area are well known for the high number of sunshine hours, actually Blenheim had the second most last year, the crystal clear water, the mountains and the walking tracks, all of which we enjoy being so close to and would love our guests to enjoy them also.

The Queen Charlotte Track starts at Anakiwa, 10 minutes away, and winds it's way out to Ships Cove, we would like to show you a little piece of it. For further information on the track checkout my Queen Charlotte Track page.

The Mahau Sounds leads into Kenepuru Sound and Pelorus Sound , there is a mail boat leaving from Havelock or the Mussel Cruise.  There is also a Mail Boat run from Picton around the Queen Charlotte Sound.

 So come and enjoy  our warm, modern Architect award winning home,     where your hosts Karen and Peter, will welcome you, so you too can relax in the beautiful surroundings while taking in the most breathtaking scenery NZ has to offer.
