About this property
Sunset Cottage right on the beach.
A delightful cottage right on the waters edge in the beautiful Queen Charlotte Sound, overlooking Whatamango Bay, Karaka Point and the Allports Islands. Perfect for a family break. Sunset Cottage is water access only so feels like a world away although its easy access from Picton/Waikawa.
Use the cottage side of the floating jetty and your own mooring right in front of the cottage if you have a boat, or take the 15 minute trip by water taxi from Picton. (Picton Water Taxis 03 573 7853). Wake up to the sound of the sea on your doorstep, laze on the beach, swim in the safe, sheltered bay, walk to neighbouring bays, BBQ on the deck, and enjoy the all-day sun until very last of the sunset rays with a Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc which will be awaiting you in the fridge!
The cottage is ideally suited to a couple or a family. The deck is right by the beach and the double bedroom window opens to the sea. The two double bunkrooms are compact but ideal for two children in each. A dinghy and kayak are available for your use. There is good mobile phone reception but no wi-fi or TV. Sunset cottage is all about getting away and being close to nature!
Linen and towels are provided.
Minimum stay is 3 nights.
There is no cleaning fee on the assumption that you will leave the cottage clean and tidy.

About the host
Hosted by Julian Terry
The Terry family have holidayed and resided at their Whatamango Bay property for over 60 years! In 2021 they moved across the bay and Julian and Diana are often in residence in the house on the other side of the jetty from Sunset Cottage. They will often be there to welcome you and introduce you to this little piece of paradise.
Why they chose this property
Sunset Cottage is like no other sitting on the waters edge just above the high tide mark.
It is compact in size but sweeping in vistas and natural ambiance. The place where lifelong memories are created. It is drenched in all-day sun and retains it long after most of the Queen Charlotte Sound is in shadow. Go to sleep to the sound of the lapping water and wake to the dawn chorus of native birds.
