A delightful cottage right on the waters edge in the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, overlooking Whatamango Bay, Karaka Point and the Allports Islands. Perfect for a family break. Sunset Cottage is water access only so feels like a world away although its easy access from Picton/Waikawa.
Use the cottage side of the floating jetty and your own mooring right in front of the cottage if you have a boat, or take the 15 minute trip by water taxi from Picton. (Picton Water Taxis 03 573 7853). Wake up to the sound of the sea on your doorstep, laze on the beach, swim in the safe, sheltered bay, walk to neighbouring bays, BBQ on the deck, and enjoy the all-day sun until very last of the sunset rays with a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc which will be awaiting you in the fridge!
The cottage is ideally suited to a couple or a family. The deck is right by the beach and the double bedroom window opens to the sea. The two double bunkrooms are compact and not suitable for adults but fine for two children in each. A dinghy and 2 kayaks are available for your use. There is good mobile phone reception but no wi-fi or TV. Sunset cottage is all about getting away and being close to nature!
Linen and towels are provided.
Minimum stay is 3 nights. There is no cleaning fee on the assumption that you will leave the cottage clean and tidy.
Great host and location, throughly enjoyed our stay !

Great wee bach and a lovely location. We very much enjoyed our time here. Bach had everything we needed. Julian was a great host. Our kids enjoyed fishing and jumping off the wharf, kayaking, paddle boards (we brought our own) and walking the beach at low tide. We took our own boat and used the mooring with this bach. Great to only be a 15 min boat trip from Waikawa.

Perfect family holiday
We loved everything about this place, the house was very clean and had everything you would want in a batch, and the location was absolute paradise. Julian was a wonderful host. We definitely plan to stay again.

Gorgeous setting and amazing host. The cottage was clean and tidy with everything we needed thoughtfully supplied. The resident weka and oystercatchers kept a close eye on us. There were plenty of fish, and we saw rays and orca too. Waking up to the birdsong and going to sleep to the sound of the waves just outside the window made this a perfect spot for relaxing and recharging.

Wonderful
Our second stay here was every bit as spectacular as the first. The cottage, while older, is well maintained and tidy, with everything we needed. This is an excellent place for the family. Super convenient to be right on the beach. Julian is an excellent host.

Awesome place to stay definitely going back
Nice quiet little cottage, easy to plenty of fishing places and close to boat ramp and pub for lunch. A very friendly weka came to say hi most days and followed to hang washing out. Highly recommend

Family adventure
What a magical few days. Julian was an incredibly generous host, and although we weren’t as lucky with the weather as we could have been, the kids enjoyed playing on the beach, fishing off the pier and swimming in the bay. So remote and peaceful and an incredible sunset, just what we’d hoped from the sounds.

Awesome wee cottage!
What an awesome wee spot so close to Waikawa/Picton but yet still has the feels of being out in the middle of the sounds. Couldn’t get a place closer to the water if you tried. Loved it thanks Julian 😊

Absolutely loved it
Great little beach house with everything you need. Very clean and well appointed right next to the water front. Great floating jetty to catch Kaiwai, mullet etc, even caught a good sized blue cod. The host Julian was great at what he does, very hospitable and accomodating.
Couldn’t recommend this place more for a relaxing getaway. So close to Picton but feels like you’re miles from anywhere.

Thanks Julian. You have a fantastic spot.
Such an amazing location and surroundings. Spectacular views, and wonderful sounds of Bellbirds and Fantails constantly. Loads of wild life to see. Dolphins in the sound, a seal hanging out on the jetty, Oystercatchers and even goats. Caught some fish from in the jetty. The cottage has all the charm and character of a quintessential old-school New Zealand bach. We would definitely love to come back and stay again.

Stay in Paradise!
Amazing property. If you want to get your kids off the devices, come and stay here. Back to the 80s when life was easy! Having conversations while doing the dishes and playing board games at night. So much to explore and enjoy. This place is the ultimate vacation and so close to Waikawa!
We will be back for sure!

What a cool spot!
Awesome wee cottage! Well laid out little bach, clean and tidy with everything you need. Jules was a great host, friendly and respectful. 10/10 would come again! A slice of paradise so close to Picton/Waikawa, but feels a world away. Kids loved fishing and jumping off the wharf! Thanks again.
