Bulwer beachfront retreat - Cottage #2

Take it easy at this unique and tranquil getaway. Whether it`s fishing off the wharf, swimming in the crystal clear water or relaxing on the deck overlooking the bay, the choice is yours.

Bulwer is a very special part of Marlborough. Accessible by road or boat. There is a mooring (boat parking) available for boats up to 6 metres, and easy flat parking on site. This is the perfect place to switch off and unwind.

We have our own mooring (boat parking), in the bay which is available for guest use @ $18 per night. This is payable separately through Airbnb.

There is a double fishing kayak available for guest use. The paddles, lifejacket and seats are stored in the shed next to cottage #1. To help you easily get it to the beach there is also a kayak trolley stored in the shed. The kayak is stored against the fence close to cottage #2. The kayak is shared between both cottages.
Due to the remote location we rely on our guests to keep the cottage clean, tidy and ready for the next guests. This includes taking all rubbish away, vacuuming and making the beds with clean sheets from the laundry. Cleaning products and equipment are provided including vacuum cleaner and mop.

All used sheets and towels need to be placed in the washing machine and the wash and dry cycle started prior to check out. Just close the door and start the bedding wash and dry cycle. The detergent will be added automatically. The next guest can then use these sheets to make the beds etc. There is no need to add detergent, the washing machine will do this automatically.

Our neighbours check the cottage after each booking. An extra cleaning fee plus long distance travel costs will be charged if the cottage is not left in an acceptable condition. We have many repeat guests who appreciate and look after the place well.

There is a rubbish dump in Rai Valley plus one in Havelock. Bulwer is a pristine location and we need to look after it.

There are two baches on the site that sit side by side. They share a laundry which is located at the rear of number 2 (the two bedroom bach). The hot water cylinder is shared between both cottages. Please be considerate of other guests and conserve water.

We also have a no shoes inside policy. This helps with keeping the bach clean and hygienic. There are sheep and a pet pig who live in the bay. Please be careful of leaving any food outside and your car doors or boot open. The pig and sheep are not shy and will take anything they find that they like the look of.

There are sheep freely roaming in the bay. Therefore it is not suitable for dogs. Also, not suitable for infants and toddlers under 4.

Thanks very much in advance for you care, cooperation and respect for Bulwer. All of the land in the bay is privately owned, so it`s important to be considerate of others and have respect for the community.

We have a morning available @ $18 per night. This is payable separately through Airbnb.

The washing machine is available for guest use. please limit usage to two times per day for 2 guests or 3 times per day for 3 - 5 guests. Additional use will be charged at $9 per wash. The washing machine is shared between both cottages so it may be in use sometimes when there are guests in both cottages so please be considerate of other guests. Usage is monitored remotely.

We have a double fishing kayak available for guest use. The paddles, lifejacket and seats are stored in the shed next to cottage #1. The kayak is stored against the fence close to cottage #2. The kayak is shared between both cottages. Please rinse and hang out to dry the kayak equipment after each use and return to the shed. The kayak should also be returned after each use and rinsed with fresh water. There is a tap and hose next to the washing line outside cottage #2.
