Nestled within beautiful NZ native bush, this 1 bedroom cottage is a perfect couples retreat to relax, swim and listen to a soundtrack of native Tui's, Bellbird's and lapping waves. And all this peaceful seclusion with road access.
You are immediately drawn to the picture perfect north facing 180' views of the Pelorus Sounds, and to top it off it comes complete with its own private beach and jetty. What more can you want.

No matter the kind of holiday you are looking for, this place has something for everyone.
Its just a short 2 min bush walk down to your very own private beach and jetty where you will find 2 double kayaks and a canoe so you can explore the sounds, there is a selection of life jackets in the boat shed for you. If walks are more your thing, there is a steep 3hr return, 8.5km hike up Mt Cawte if you want to check out the views, and a great spot to experience the sunrise, you will find the entrance right opposite our drive way.

But most importantly relax and rejuvenate with the perfect holiday.
The house had everything we needed and we were surprised how big and roomy it was. Beautiful views over the Sound from a nice big front deck. It was very quiet and relaxing with just the sound of bird song.
Had the most relaxing time here. The house had everything we needed and the location far exceeded expectations. I would definitely come again, next time I would just book the water taxi in advance!
This was our favourite place weâve stayed so far. The views are spectacular and the location sublime. The bach has everything you need and more, and Narisa is a wonderful host who answered all my questions so quickly.
Spacious property with beautiful views and peaceful surroundings. We enjoyed the birdsong and tranquility. The property was well kitted out with all the facilities you could want.
We had a great time.
Perfect chilled location to catch up with friends. The view was impressive, as was the house. Would recommend to anyone wanting nice big open spaces and a venue to sit back and relax in.
We loved our stay over Christmas so much we didn't want to leave. All the equipment surpassed expectations. Would definitely love to stay again. Thanks so much
We canât say enough good things about this property. It had everything we were looking for. Thanks for sharing your home and giving us wonderful memories!
Fantastic place to stay, delivers everything it promises. Set up well and has all you need to relax and unwind. Great having the spa, kayaks and Mt Cawte loop track on the doorstep to use.
We had an amazing holiday, thanks Narisa! The bach is great, has everything you need and we had no trouble going in via water taxi due to the road closures. A bit of a walk up the hill with our gear but nothing too difficult and well worth the adventure.
Great place and location, all you could ask for to get a few friends together to spend some time while enjoying the surroundings...Willy is a great host.
Haha. So glad Willy the weka took good care of you. And glad you had a lovely relaxing holiday with your friends. Thanks for leaving the place nice and clean. Your welcome back any time.
Clean and well equipped. I enjoyed the Mt Cawte walk right on the doorstep, whilst my partner loved the jetty for fishing. The fireplace was well appreciated as very cold weather.
We had an awesome stay at Narisaâs bach. The place was well equipped with all we needed for a fantastic holiday. The place was comfortable and had the most beautiful views. The kids loved the games, spa and kayaks. Narisa was excellent to deal with, accommodating with all our requests and really helpful with info. Weâd love to come back again.
very relaxing out of the way spot . everything you need for the getaway with breathtaking views and plenty to do from the fishing , kayaking to relaxing in the spa . visits from local Weka , Tui and bell birds not to mention the odd Possum add to the whole experience . will revisit this area again for sure .
