Tranquil and relaxing stay

We had a lovely peaceful and relaxing stay. A very private bach with beautiful views of the sounds and surrounding native bush. We awoke to beautiful native birdsong each morning. We felt completely recharged at the end of the week and very much hope to return.

Views and peace

We relaxed straight away. Loved the view, the bird life, the bush and exploring the stream at the bottom of the garden. Easy access to the queen charlotte track and the wharf to jump off were also great.

Heavenly location with activities

This bach is located in a beautiful setting up a hill, surrounded by native bush & with a view out over the sound. The deck is perfect for sunbathing or breakfast outside in the morning.. after waking up to the birds singing & the sun beaming in from the east. We had fun paddling around the bay & walking down the track for a swim. If you’re looking for somewhere to totally relax but still have a few things to do during the day, this is great!

HAPPY

This is a true home from home batch. Native birds a plenty to listen out for and close to a good stretch of the Queen Charlotte track. Highly recommended if you truly want to escape the 'rat race' for a while.

Sounds getaway

We’ve rented a few Sounds places over the years but this was our favourite. A fantastic wee bach. Great views of both the bush and the water. Warm and cosy space. Lovely gardens. The kids had a ball exploring the path down to the stream. Property is on the hill but our toddlers were fine with the walk to/from the beach. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

This is how I remember Kiwi batches.

This is how I remember Kiwi batches. It is as described on the website, its not modern and its not perfect but its great. The location and privacy were spot on. Nearby Kayak and mountain bike hire were very reasonable and saved driving back and forth to Picton and Havelock. Perfect for exploring the Sounds and chilling out.

This bach i recommend, not a flash place but has all you need in a awesome bush setting. Very cool having kayaks available and nearby Jetty to fish off. Our teenage girls loved it and hoping to go back one day. The weather was fantastic!

We really enjoyed our short break here - lovely location, very comfortable and clean and lots of helpful comments from the owners in the visitors book. We enjoyed the use of the kayaks and we found walking on the Queen Charlotte track straight from our door was a real bonus. Best of all was the time spent relaxing on the deck with views of the Sound and the valley full of birdsong - idyllic!
