About this property
Idyllic Dryden Bay - a complete Sounds experience
A perfect spot to have a wine on the deck as the sun goes down - or if you are an early bird, watch the fantastic sun rise (pictured).
Part of the charm of Dryden Bay is it's sandy beach and wonderful bird life. The property is boat access only. Water taxis take guests to the property from Picton on regular scheduled services - or you can hire a small water taxi from the Picton waterfront for a larger group or travel in by your own boat. A mooring is available as part of the rental.
The house is a comfortable, well equipped, sunny home which offers an ideal retreat from hustle and bustle. The large deck gives the opportunity to dine outside, sunbathe or just chill. There is fantastic wild life all around the property and a lawn for children and adults to play on! There is a wharf to arrive and depart from and the mooring should you bring your own boat is close to wharf area.
Great for families, small groups or a quiet weekend away. Dryden Bay is a Fishing paradise, located close to the scallop area and great dives spots.You do not have to leave the Bay for those that do not have boats as there is great fishing to be had in the Bay area - you do not have to travel far to catch a fish for dinner so remember to pack your fishing rod and bait! There are kayaks for guests to use.
Close boat rides away are Ships Cove, the starting point for the Queen Charlotte Track, excellent picnic areas and historical land sites . Motuara Bird Sanctaury is also a short boat ride away and there are plenty of local walks available.
If you feel like dinner out you could take the water taxi or your own boat to one of the local resorts nearby.
The beach is flat and sandy, very safe for children and families. An easy launching spot for a dingy or kayak. The wharf provides a great place to fish with a hand line or
for children and adults to dive and jump from.
Everything is on your doorstep - the hardest part is deciding what to do next!
A great place to have fun or just chill ..... you have the choice!

Why they chose this property
This is in a remote area of the beautiful Marlborough Sounds. The property is water access only which leads to much of the beauty of rich wild life and fishing in the area. You can often spot dolphins from the lounge or off the wharf at all times of the year and fishing is excellent even for the not so experienced.
What makes this property unique
Altermate Chill Spot - BBQ on the deck and soak in the views and birdlife that surrounds you.
