Bay Outlook

StevenRating, 5 stars4 days ago

This is an absolutely outstanding Air BnB to stay in. An extremely chilled out vibe throughout the property. A perfect place for switching off,enjoying magnificent views and getting away from it all, yet close to Picton, Blenheim and all that Marlborough has to offer. Slept with the curtains open and marvelled at the galaxy and stars before falling asleep on such a comfy bed!! The coffee machine , the fire , the rugs all fabulous touches and the bathrooms and showers reminded us of staying in a 5 star hotel! Will be back before the end of the year.

Ngaio Cottage

LucyRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We had the absolute best time staying here, the property was stunning, above and beyond what we were expecting! The location could not be better and we loved swimming and snorkelling so close to the house. It was really well equiped and beautiful inside and outside, I loved being surrounded by fruit trees and farmland. Not to mention the balcony (and the bath on the balcony) is a perfect spot for watching the sunset

Te Hoiere Guesthouse - 2 Bedroom Suite

Everything about the house was perfect: it was easy to find, the characterful building is immaculate with lovely original features, artwork and wooden furniture, and it was nice to find lots of breakfast options provided. The neighbourhood is quiet, located a short walk from the shops and eating options, and just 2 mins from the marina (eg for boat tours of the Marlborough Sounds). Recommended!
