About this property

APPEALING SUNNY BACH - GREAT VIEWS.


Open plan living onto a deck area, ideal for outdoor entertaining.
Easy access to Queen Charlotte walking/cycling track - beautiful native scenery abound.
Easy drive to either the Portage Resort, or Te Mahia for a coffee or vino

This is a comfortable home with 2 double bedrooms upstairs and a Bunkroom on the lower deck. This room has a single bed, mattress, and bunks (can sleep 4) - all rooms have duvets and blankets provided, however guests do need to provide their own linen(sheets/pillowcases/towels/bathmats/tea towels).
No Wifi, however Hotspot works well on your cell phone. Boardgames, cards, DVD player (and DVD’s) and books are available for your use.

There is a wonderful private cove just a short walk away through native bush - suitable for swimming for all abilities, fishing and kayaking.

Whilst there are no local grocery shops, basic supplies can be purchased at Te Mahia (might pay to phone first, especially in Winter), and there is a Water Taxi available to Picton via Torea Bay within a 5 minute drive.

Prices are for 2 people, with extra people $15 each. Two night minimum stay. This is our family holiday home that's rented out to contribute toward the running costs. Our neighbours live here permanently as do other families on the road. Please be respectful to them by keeping noise levels low and distractions to a minimum. This is not a party house for teenagers.

We ask visitors to please clean up and leave the house as it was found. It is very easy care! We would be grateful if you could take all rubbish away with you, and we hope that you will love your time here in the Sounds.
Special conditions:
Please conserve your use of water as we are reliant on rainwater up here in the Sounds. We recommend boiling your drinking water first.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (sheets/pillowcases/towels/bathmats/tea towels).

I cannot change the Book a Bach wording, but: I give 100% refunds and the beds downstairs are not futons: there is a single bunk bed set, a single bed, and a matress to use if needed.
