🌊 Absolute Waterfront
Wake up to the sound of the sea and native birds.
Set right on the water's edge in Whatamangō Bay, enjoy beautiful, uninterrupted views across the bay. Open the doors, breathe in the fresh sea air and settle into the slower rhythm of the Sounds.

☀️ Outdoor Living
The newly extended deck is made for making the most of the Marlborough Sounds.

Enjoy your morning coffee overlooking the bay, spend long afternoons soaking up the sunshine or fire up the BBQ as the evening settles in. With sweeping 180° views across the water and bush, it's the perfect spot for alfresco dining, a good book or simply watching the world go by.

🛏️ Three Comfortable Bedrooms
The king and queen bedrooms open directly onto the balcony, each offering beautiful water views.

The third bedroom is ideal for children, families or friends, with a set of single bunks and an additional single floor mattress, to sleep three.

With room for up to seven guests, Whare Tūī is well suited to family holidays, weekends away with friends and multigenerational getaways.

🔥 Relaxed, Open-Plan Living
At the heart of the home is a spacious, light-filled living and dining area, with comfortable seating and large windows framing the waterfront views.

Settle in by the wood fire on cooler evenings, enjoy a movie or open the doors to the deck and let the outdoors in.

There's plenty of space to come together, spread out and make yourself at home.

🍽️ Kitchen & Dining
The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need for easy holiday cooking, including a dishwasher, double sinks and all the essentials for preparing and sharing meals.

A covered BBQ area is also available.

🚿 Bathroom & Laundry
The recently renovated bathroom features a walk-in shower and continuous hot water (with great pressure), with a second separate toilet (in the garage) for added convenience.

A full laundry is available in the double garage, making longer stays and family holidays that little bit easier.

🎱 Games & Entertainment
Rainy day? No problem. The bach is complete with a pool table, dartboard, board games, cards and even an Xbox. There's plenty to keep everyone entertained.

🚣‍♀️ Explore the Water
Take the provided kayaks or paddleboard out for a morning paddle, enjoy a refreshing swim or bring your own boat and make use of our private swing mooring, suitable for vessels up to 6m.

🐾 Dog-Friendly Holidays
Your four-legged family member is welcome too!

We welcome well-behaved dogs, so the whole family can enjoy a holiday in the Sounds.

Please note that the property is not fully fenced and is home to nesting native birds. Dogs MUST always be supervised and kept on a long lead whenever outside to help protect our local wildlife.
