Kenepuru View - Private getaway in the Sounds

Road access, located between Te Mahia and Portage. Easy access to the Queen Charlotte track and just a 5 minute drive to the Portage beach and resort.

Nice modern kitchen and two bathrooms. Four bedrooms off the main living area are ideal for a family. A new heat pump was installed in 2018 and does a great job of maintaining the temperature all year round.

The spacious sun drenched deck has amazing views of Kenepuru Sound.

The section is large and covered in native bush, so plenty of room for the kids to explore. Native bush also attracts plentiful birdlife including weka, tui, wood pigeons and fantails, providing an unforgettable backdrop to your holiday. The weka are very friendly and run around like they own the place!

Walk down through beautiful native bush to a private beach cove where you can relax, swim, launch your kayak or fish off the rocks.

We have ample parking up the driveway and there is a decent sized turnaround bay at the end of the street for larger vehicles.

There is good mobile reception for all networks but no Wifi.

Please note our neighbours on either side are permanent residents who have retired to this beautiful spot for a quiet life.

Duvets (as pictured) are provided and there is a mattress protector on each of the (brand new) beds. Guests do need to bring their own bed sheets.

Guests are expected to clean up before they leave. This includes emptying the dishwasher, cleaning the bbq, vacuuming, making beds and taking all rubbish with you.

Rubbish can also be disposed of at the skip located just before Portage. This costs $3 per visit (must be a $2 and a $1 coin) and will take a couple of large rubbish bags plus recycling.

Special conditions:

A DVD is available, together with a selection of movies. There are also a range of board games & books available.

The place is well fitted out with electrical appliances including a modern oven, microwave, sandwich press, toaster, kettle, hairdryer etc

Toilet paper, dishwashing liquid and tea towels are provided.

NB 1: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to clean the house, empty the rubbish bin and do the dishes before you leave as well as bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

NB 2: You are booking a holiday in a Bach - not a hotel. As per the note above we rely on guests to clean up after themselves. As such you may not find the place in absolutely pristine condition. Please be aware of this and book a hotel instead if that is what you are seeking :)

Kayaks can be hired from Mistletoe Bay (10 minutes drive back towards Linkwater).
