Find Places to Stay in Havelock on Airbnb

Fabulous view and a nice house! Super easy communication

stunning home and setting

A few nights in this secluded location with the beautiful view were just what we needed. The place was perfectly clean and the beds and pillows very comfortable — the best sleep we’ve had on our trip so far. Enjoyed kayaking in the sounds very much, and dinners on the balcony. The place would be perfect for two couples; maybe someday we will be able to return with friends.

Amazing views, clean and tidy

Gorgeous view

A very especially place. Perfect to enjoy some relaxing Days with a wonderful view.

Gorgeous home with a great view. Well located and has many amenities. Kayaks were great. Other reviews mention the steep driveway- true but there is a flat bit to park up on that isn't all the way at the bottom. Lovely stay, thanks!

Highly recommend! But unlike the description, it took us more than 25min drive from islander. Nonetheless, place is awesome.

Beautiful location, nice cosy accommodation, friendly hosts. Would recommend for short stays.

John and Maree were very welcoming; the accommodation had everything we needed. It’s in a beautiful setting.

The place is ideally situated to explore Marlbough and other sounds in the area.

On our last day before catching the ferry we were very fortunate to book at John and Maree’s. The amenities were exceptional and location ideal with great eating places nearby.

Another great stay at Bethaven, and everything at the same high standard. Hope I can get another chance to come back soon.

Like everywhere else during our stay in New Zealand, we would have loved to have had more time with John and Maree ... firstly, the accommodation has everything you need for a longer stay and secondly, the Marlborough Sounds deserve more than just a day ... The accommodation was clean, very spacious and had good facilities ... Maree was very friendly and gave good tips ...

John and Maree's place is awesome. Super clean and the most comfortable beds in the world! Everything is very well organised with notes on how everything works. The location is beautiful and after the viewing point. The only places to eat nearby is either in Havelock or this cool pub but it's best to drive there. Would've loved to stay longer if we had the time.

Lovely clean spacious accommodation with fabulous views and just a short drive from Havelock. Nice spot to stay.

Sweet wee place with all ya need, great views n private

This is a cosy little space, exactly as described. A wonderful view, easy access, a short walk to restaurants. Thanks for recommending the Mussel Pot...it was fabulous!

What a view What a location On the same section as the house but great separation and privacy We loved it Russell

A great wee space perfect for a night’s accomodation. Amazing view. Short walk into town. Free off street parking.

Cute little place with stunning views. Make sure you try the local mussels.

Staying here was incredible, it’s literally right on the water with a beautiful view and it’s very peaceful. Lisa gave us wonderful dinner recommendations and the place was sparkling clean.

We really enjoyed our stay. Great place, superb views & fantastic location. Thanks for everything. Would highly recommend.

Very quaint little place but has everything you need. Lovely location with lovely views. Great communication. Highly recommended.

Liz and Tony are excellent hosts. Their place is amazing and the room has a fantastic view. The place was spotless and there were thoughtful touches which made the stay even more memorable

What can we say about this fabulous accommodation and location! All the positive comments that have previously been posted are everything that we hoped for! Liz and Tony made us feel relaxed and most welcome and were always available for a chat, either at breakfast or on the decking that has stunning views across the bay. We recommend this accommodation in Picturesque Havelock with quality restaurants!

We enjoyed our stay in Liz and Tony’s place. They are very welcoming and hospitable. Their place is sparkling clean and comfortable, they kindly allow us to use their washing machine and the check-in was easy. We loved the beautiful view, talking with them and having a delicious diner at their favorite restaurant, Captains Daughter. Highly recommended.

We really enjoyed our one night stay wth Liz and Tony in Havelock. They were outstanding hosts who made us both feel comfortable and extremely welcome. The view was spectacular, the breakfast was delicious and the overall experience was one that we can fully recommend to all.

Tony & Liz are made up of sugar, spice, and everything nice :-) We had a wonderful time. They are really the loveliest as individuals and as a couple! We were so comfortable and content just hanging out with them and having meals together. Very kind in helping us whenever we needed it and also happily sharing their home. Incredible, incredible people. The home is beautifully decorated (chat with Tony!!), clean, cosy and we had everything (and more) that we needed. We enjoyed lounging in the patio and going for a little kayak adventure. We also liked the quiet town that we could easily walk around rather than drive. All in all, it really won’t feel like you booked an Airbnb as you feel like you’re family/old friends catching up :-)

This property and these hosts are absolutely outstanding. Liz and Tony could not be more welcoming, and their house overlooking the water of Marlborough Sound is stunning. In our experience, this is unmatched in style, hospitality, views and, important for some like us, the bird activity on the sea and beach below. If the sight of a Pied Stilt or a Royal Spoonbill gets your blood racing, bring your binoculars and prepare to be amazed.

What can one expect at Liz and Tony’s place? Only the best of the best in all aspects! Yes, this was my first Airbnb stay, but I’m real sure they and their place will be at the top of my, and others, list for a long time. I like being spoiled! Thanks so much, Rick

What a super place to stay. Amazing views from your beautiful appointed room, with everything you need, to sitting on the deck and taking in the breathtaking view. Enjoyed chatting to Liz, the host, and eating our wonderful, delicious breakfasts. Thank you for letting us stay at your gorgeous house. Highly recommend.

Great setting. Lovely view to wake up to in the morning. Jan was extremely helpful.

Jan and Ross are wonderful hosts they made our stay brilliant they were really hospitable and even cooked us a lovely fish supper the outlook from the boat shed is fabulous and although a short walk to the bathroom it is lovely & super clean you also have the benefit of meeting Poly the puppy on your way. We can't recomend highly enough chris & Rob

The boat shed is a lovely space, clean and spacious. Beautiful views out to the sounds. The bed was comfy, and Jan provided a lovely lil continental breakfast for us. The bathroom is a wee walk up the side of the house, easily accessible. Would have liked to have spent a another daybor two just enjoying the peace.

We really loved our night spent here, it really is a unique and tranquil spot. Jan is lovely, she even gave a tour of her beautiful garden :) Thanks for such a lovely stay!

Awesome space! So relaxing and peaceful- great location right next to the water. Super friendly and helpful hosts.

Jan, her husband and Polly gave a very warm welcome. The boatshed is very well located with nice view on the sound. Very cool place to stay!

Great location, lovely views

We had a great stay at Jan’s place for 1 night. We had everything we needed and the bed was very comfortable. The room was very clean and a continental breakfast was also provided. Beautiful view to wake up to in the morning as well! Would definitely recommend if you need somewhere to stay in this area!

we felt very comfortable. could use kayaks and grill. wonderful the view and the silence

Good location and great view from the balcony

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Jane's holiday house. We felt very much at home; everything was clean and comfortable. It was lovely to stay in quiet surroundings near the water, but close enough to Havelock.... to feast on mussels. Glittering Milky Way clearly overhead at night. I would recommend staying at Jane's house to explore this beautiful part of the world.

This place is great - especially if you like trails - the amazing trail that runs from Picton to Havelock is very close and you can get on it and enjoy it for miles and miles. Incredible views. Spectacular trail!! Loved our stay here.

Brilliant place to stay! Lovely neighbours too. Enjoyed the kayaks ☺️

This is a gem of a place in a beautiful location and Jane and Wayne couldn't have made it nicer. We were a party of 5 adults and a one year old. The balcony and the stairs posed a problem with the 1 year old as he was small enough to slip through and off both. The balcony issue was fixable and the stairs meant we had to be supervigilant. It is really well equipped and spotlessly clean and the beds were excellent and the location is a dream. We swam at the little beach at Moenui and kayaked from the boat ramp and spent a wonderful time at Pelorus Bridge. We would definitely love to stay there again.

This bach is fabulous. It's the perfect size and fit for a getaway. It's cosy and comfortable and provides everything that you could need for a trip away. There are lots of little walks and beaches all around this spot that are enchanting and easy to navigate. Loved our holiday.

This place is just so charming! It's all about the fantastic views and the tranquility. And there's so much fun to do as you can borrow kayaks, fishing rods etc.

Beautiful location! Nice airbnb! We enjoyed our stay!

Very tidy and clean, awesome views, lovely Kiwi batch

Gorgeous location, close to Havelock, quiet and very relaxing.

A cute cottage full of traditional charm, in a quiet location with a fantastic view of the sounds.

Quiet clean and relaxing.

Lovely, clean stay with everything we needed to be comfortable and more. Netflix and Wi-Fi was an added bonus and the beach community couldn't be nicer! Got many waves from the locals when we walked down to the beach. Highly recommend!

Amazing house, beautiful views. Made our holiday so much easier. Recommend to families, my children loved all the games and toys.

We had a wonderful stay in Chrissie's Bach, it was clean and very comfortable. Everything was perfect and we could fully recommend staying in Chrissie's Bach.

Lesley is a gracious and accommodating host. Peaceful and private accommodation a short drive to town.

Lesley is the most authentic Lady in New Zealand. We enjoyed our stay there. Very good cooked breakfast and very interesting conversation. Those are the things that you will remember in the future... Fantastic communication before, during and after! Good sleep, perhaphs thanks to the relaxing sound speaker. We were in the studio and we didn’t have any problem going to the bathroom in the main house, even if it was raining the whole night, but read the description and, if you prefer, book the room inside the house. Recommended, we would come back again!

We had a nice stay at Lesley‘s house. The breakfast was very delicious. Lesley is a lovely and friendly person.

I had 2 great nights with a delicious breakfast and enjoyed the very friendly and helpful host Lesley.

Lesley is a great host and makes you feel at home.

Lesley provided us a hot cooked breakfast and provided a warm room with heated blankets. Lesley was thoughtful and had lined trash cans (rubbish bins) throughout the house. We also got to work for accommodation the third night, which was great for our budget. Good for a short stay.

Nice home, friendly talkative host with lots of pets.

Lesley is a generous and thoughtful host, who talked patiently with me. She even served us lovely breakfast at 6 Am! I am highly recommended this natural place to everyone.

Nice clean own cottage. The bathroom is inside the mainhouse

Nice little guesthouse with a cozy bed

Hubby loved the amazing sleep space ! we were treated to a room with dim changing-colored lights and soft music and wonderful aromas from a diffuser and a comfy bed upon our unexpectedly late arrival. Lesley treated us not like guests, or even friends, but more like family! She and her farmyard animals were so delightful and entertaining and friendly. Fantastic stay!!

Lesley is a great host. The studio is very nice. Garden, a little adorable dog,chickens and a goat......a really unforgettable experience.

Thank you for having us and our dogs. Your garden is lovely and we enjoyed the easy going vibes and relaxed hospitality.

Loved it!...zero complaints couldn’t ask for a better host and the value for money is exceptional!

Very friendly

Lesley was a very welcoming and friendly host. She cares about her home and her guest. The room is just as described, a simple, but spacious accomodation with everything you need! Thanks for your hospitality, Lesley!

A beautiful, private and comfortable stay.

Kelly and nandys studio unit is nice and peaceful. Hosts were lovely greeted us showed us around and then left us to chill out. Loved the book at the end of building and ged was really comfy.

This place is truly a gem. Wonderfully set up, a great place to escape and relax. I especially loved the library — I spent an evening paging through a beautiful photography book.

We loved it. Such a great place. We will definitely come back!

Great place and very good value. Self contained, absolutely private, clean and wonderfully equipped, attractive, thoughtfully and unusually decorated with a pretty garden walk and views across the valley. Kelly and her husband excellent hosts. Would stay again, thank you

Book this place!!! Situated off the beaten track this place is gorgeous and so relaxing. Kelly showed us some great spots to hike and to swim in the river, we came home to fresh chicken eggs and plums , it was fab - we could ha e stayed a week. Also very close to Havelock for mussels, Queen Charlotte drive for great hiking and within easy reach of Picton. We loved it

If you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind we highly recommend Kelly’s Place. You get a great view of mountains, such great hosts who are absolutely friendly and just all round lovely. All we can say is the pictures don’t do the place justice at all. Absolutely loved our stay. Thank you Kelly and partner 🙂

Fantastic little hideaway cabin on the hill. Set up for comfort and relaxation. Very close to a great swimming river. Would love to return. Great hosts.

Comfortable cabin with lovely views

We loved our stay in this gorgeous location with its panoramic views of Mahau Sound. Perfect for accessing the many wonderful walks in the area. The cabin is very well-equipped with cooking on the under-cover bbq, microwave and electric frypan making self-catering easy. Marg and Russell are great hosts and very knowledgeable about the area. We loved our stay.

Fantastic location if arriving at/leaving from Picton and keen to be a bit removed from everyone else! We loved it.

Russell and Margaret’s place has everything you need, in a beautiful setting. We enjoyed our stay so much, especially the comfortable bed and glorious views

Margaret and Russel, what a lovely couple of genuine, kind and hospitable people. We are delighted to have met them. The accommodation is in a very scenic setting, we woke up to the most amazing, tranquil and beautiful view. A morning stroll along the beach below provided further photo opportunities and a chance to recharge after the previous day's long drive. The cottage was well equipped and very clean. Highly recommend this place!

Margaret and Russell’s place is just delightful - I could not fault the cabin - immaculate with a beautiful view and everything you need including a very comfy bed. Great communication and access. I hope to return one day with my husband to explore the beautiful sounds with a bit more time. Thank you so much and all the best - I shall be recommending to everyone I can.

A bit of a jog to get here but we’ll worth the effort. You just don’t have access to views and places in settings as beautiful as this very often. Thankful they offered their place for us.

We were blown away by this idyllic spot in the Sounds, it really is the perfect place to stay to unwind, relax and soak in nature!! Russell and Margaret are so welcoming and we felt it was our home away from home

Although the sparrow is a small and well-organized small yard, you can see the lake view, and the environment is very beautiful! Immersion experience! The room was clean and the host was a porcelain artist. Suitable for self-driving tour

Renates place was so tranquil and peaceful. Amazing location and great to take advantage of the link walk on my visit.

Renate's place offered everything we were after: a beautiful and quiet location off the beaten track yet easily accessible, birdsong, lots of visual stimulation from the eccentric bits of artwork that you encounter as your wander around the cottage, lots of useful travel suggestions from Renate, and on top of everything else -- Coco the wonder dog to lift the spirits! Highly recommended.

Lovely place and surroundings.

Pleasant, rustic cottage. Renate, the proprietor, has a pottery studio on the property, and this adds to the eclectic charm. No AC, but a fan provided. Windows open, not many screens, but we had a good sleep.

very nice place with an amazing view

A delightful traditional cottage in a wonderful environment. Very thoughtful and helpful host. And the pottery studio is a delight! Highly recommended - we would love to return!

Cozy place with beautiful gardens and great location.

Great stay in Picton, lovely views from the lounge and bedrooms! Unfortunately there was a power cut during our stay (nobodies fault, it was just in the general area), but Stu still quickly offered to come and help fix the problem. We had a great trip! Thanks!

Stuart's place was brilliant. I would love to have spent more time in Picton as it was beautiful as was Stuart's house. It was exactly as shown. Stuart was great to deal with too. I would highly recommend Stuart's place to anyone visiting the Picton area.

Great place to stay very comfortable and great location!

Beautiful house in great location

A spotlessly clean and charming house, perfect for relaxing in after a long drive. Easy to find thanks to Stu’s excellent directions.

Lovely spacious place, great views! Only stayed one night to get the ferry and in hindsight would have stayed longer!

Great place to stay

Access was easy and trouble free. The house was exactly as described, clean and well stocked with kitchen and bathroom essentials. A beautiful house for a stay of several nights

Beautiful house by the water, with a cute little garden. Great hospitality. Only slightly negative thing would be that it’s a shared bathroom.

Amazing night here! Location is beautiful and Jan was a fantastic host. Definitely recommend!

Lovely host and amazing location with views on Marlborough sounds! Can only recommend. Jan responded quickly and communication was great.

A very hospitable and cosy place!

A wonderful place to stay, great landscape at the bay! A very modern location with very friendly hosts. Absolutly perfect!

This air B and B is in a fantastic location, just right for a calm down after a long drive Jan was an excellent host

Jan and Ross’s place is the best AirB&B we have stayed at. The location is quiet and secluded with a great view. Ross and Jan are also great company and we thoroughly enjoyed our time. We will go there again

We had a wonderful time at Jan's place. The house is beautiful and the location close to the fjord is amazing. Great hosts!

Lovely cabin. I would stay again.

This place rocks, excellent value for money, and the establishment is very clean and well cared for. The restaurant and tavern is brimming with character and despite having older fittings, everything was dry, clean and pleasant smelling. You absolutely have to have the food here, it's well priced and professionally prepared and presented with the highest quality ingredients. I had never seen such orange yolks as I did in the eggs Benedict I had there. I had a simple Bangers n mash for dinner and I thought I'd gone to heaven. I think everyone has a visualisation of how a favourite dish tastes, these guys will take your dream dish and better it, hands down! Lastly a lovely touch in the dining rooms was fresh roses picked from the garden, they were so highly scented it was just a pleasure to sit there and enjoy this unexpected sensory addition. Oh before forget, Maryann and staff were all very congenial, prompt and thoughtful. I would love to book here again. Thanks again for the lovely stay!

The Cabin was nice and clean! The host very kind and available! Thanks again!

Perfect little stop for a nights stay, has a shower, warm sheets and everything you will need. There’s a lovely tavern and little cafe which is perfect for morning or nightly refueling.

This is a small cosy hut that just fits 2. The amenities are all in the pub. The pub is old farm that some time in the past has been converted to a pub. If you like McDonalds, sterile clean motel rooms, and sky TV in your bed room you are out of luck. However if you like people, great location laughter and a great spot to explore the sounds, you will love it.

It's a funky little wooden lodge with a nice pub to chill in during the evening. Cosy sheets and a key to lock the door, but be warned it is pretty basic. The only downsides about the hut are that it only has 2 usb slots on the wall for power (no plug socket) and the WiFi doesn't quite work from that distance. You also don't have use of a kitchen so it's really more of a 1 night stay thing..

We had a good stay here. There is a good atmosphere and it’s clean ! I recommend ! :)

Awesome relaxing place beautiful scenery on the way

The shed is basic which is all I needed for my short stay. The bed was very comfortable and the heater worked great.

We enjoyed our night in a cabin in Koromiko

It is a great place close to town.

Great spot. Cozy and close to the ferry docks too.

Would definitely recommend Megan's cabin. Just outside Picton it has great views and the cabin was neat and tidy. Megan was a great host and was very helpful. Highly enjoyed my time at the cabin, definitely recommend 10/10

The cabin is a great space to spend the night after a late arrival on the ferry.

Everything was really good. Thanks.

Great stop after ferry :)

Very warm welcome, Barb has a really nice home in a beautiful setting. We could use the double kayak which was quite nice. She has a cute little dog which likes to be petted. By the way: as already stated in other reviews the breakfast with cereals and homemade bread was delicious.

We had a great stay with Barbara and an unforgettable evening on the terrace with a wonderful view, a glass of wine and the best music ever. Slept well, great bed linen, own bathroom, great kitchen, where we were allowed to cook something. Washing clothes was allowed. Great tips, if you like kayaking, you can do that with Barbara. A great garden surrounds the house. Cultivated things are growing on almost every corner. Best place to explore Nelson and Malborough Sound. Thanks to Babs, that was great for you.

Great atmosphere- very welcoming and generous host. Recommend the dinner - fabulous meal for a great price and wonderful conversation.

Barbara is the nicest person, she is lovely to talk to, interesting, has the best stories and she is full of love. The view is amazing, the home made breakfast is fantastic, the wine was superb! Kayaking was so much fun! This was the perfect stay!!!! Thanks so much lovely Barb!

We had a wonderful stay at Barbara’s place. The view was amazing and the hospitality even better. We enjoyed a home cooked meal with Barbara, which was delicious. I would highly recommend for a relaxing spot to stay in a beautiful location.

This is what AirBnB is all about: fantastic host, great setting, feels like a home away from home. Barb is very welcoming, and clearly a fantastic cook (homemade bread was to die for). Lovely peaceful location only a 5-10 min drive from Havelock. Views are outstanding and we kayaked in the Sounds, accessed just at the bottom of the garden. Would highly recommend to anyone.

Where do I start! No amount of words can justify the hospitality that we received from Barb. I would not rate this as an Air BnB experience but this was like staying at a family’s house. Barb is kind , polite and selfless. We stayed at her place for 2 nights and had dinner at her place on both the days, and OMG she cooked scrumptious dinner with almost all ingredients home grown. The dinner table conversation followed by listening to Frank Sinatra and sitting at her patio overlooking the sea was beautiful and can never be forgotten. She was kind enough to even give us her kayak. Her kitchen can be aptly described as a Michelin start kitchen. This has been one of the most memorable experience for my husband and me and can never be forgotten. One should must visit and stay at Barb place in case visiting this side of NZ. My husband and I would personally like to thank Barb again for hosting us.

Barb is a wonderful AirBnB host. Her warm, naturally easy-going and welcoming manner made us feel right at home from the start. We enjoyed the comings and goings of other guests, and the communal atmosphere that resulted. Barb's homemade bread is legendary and completely addictive. Michael enjoyed cooking with Barb in the kitchen, and exchanging tips. (There is space and scope for a more private retreat if this is preferred by Barb's guests.)

Super place. Compact but stylish, comfortable, spotless and great value for money. Thanks will recommend

Awesome nice wee spot in great location

Wonderful spot and great location. Easy walk to/from ferry and train. Right near many wonderful restaurants and cafes.

Great little space to stay and so close to the shops

It was a great place to stay. A very compact apartment. Great for a stop over. Close to restaurants and to catch ferries etc.

Great location right in Picton near the harbour and ferry. Small but comfortable.

Quaint and quirky - Everything you needed and a great spot

Exactly as described. Perfect location to catch the ferry to Wellington.

Very clean, super easy check-in, very clear & detailed house manual, comfortable bed, ample street parking & close to a bunch of shops/food places - would definitely stay again if in the area. Thanks Courtney! :)

Great little space, fab location and check in and lovely friendly cats too! Very much enjoyed the breakfast as well and the little chocolates. Nice and quiet, highly recommend.

Clean and tidy place, enough space for a couple, very private. Close to town, ferry terminal and train station.

Courtney’s place is great, close to town and some of the local walking tracks. The space was very clean and was ideal for our stay in Picton.

Good for an overnightstay . Nicer than Motels . Yummy breakfast , thank you , Courtney !

Very nice place, amenities were amazing.

This place is absolutely perfect for one night to either start activities in the Marlborough Sound or catch a ferry to the North Island. It is within walking distance to the town center (15 minutes). The room and bathroom are absolutely clean and the small kitchen area contains all the basics you need for a quick breakfast. The room was really warm when we arrived as it is in full sun, but we got it cooled down with the fan provided. Would definitely come again for one night in Picton!

Really great value. Cute little place done out nicely. Quiet. Private. Clean. Good shower. Nice amenities- coffee, tea, sugar, muesli, toast, milk, butter, jam. Location is really handy for ferry, harbour and trips.

Get place,private and a 10 second walk down the path to your very own private beach. We had an amazing time with the kids and can't wait to go back.

I can truly recommend staying with Sarah. This place is absolutely amazing. Words cannot describer how picturesque, quiet and peaceful this place is. Also, Sarah is a very friendly and uncomplicated host. I would definitely stay with her again.

Amazing location and views, access to a quiet private beach space. Just a perfect old school Sounds bach/cabin. Loved using the bbq grill on the deck. Would definitely stay again.

Comfortable holiday home with plenty of space and amenities. Lovely views from deck and home. Don't hesitate to book it.

Amazing location, fantastic house. I wish that I could stay for weeks!

A real gem right next to the water. Views were priceless. Very clean and kitchen equipment everything one could ask for. Highly recommend anyone to stay here

A fantastic traditional kiwi Bach with breathtaking views. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the sounds.

Splendid location and very good hospitality

Courtney's place is very handy to town, nice and clean and has everything you need for a self contained stay. Self check in is available and very handy, and a nice selection of breakfast foods was provided.

Great place. Loads of thoughtful touches. The place is extremely clean. Highly recommend 😀

Although we never met the hosts we had a wonderful stay. Courtney provides easy and clear instructions for how to access the space. It was easy to get to from the city center. The space was clean, comfortable, and quiet. I would definitely recommend staying here!

Good convenient place to stay

We've stayed at Courtney's place for one night and really enjoyed our stay. Everything was exactly as described - the place is beautifully decorated, clean and the bed is comfortable like no other! Self check-in and self check-out were without any issue, communication with Courtney was great and the detailed instructions covered all questions that we had. The location is quite good, only 15 minutes by foot from centre of Picton where all shops and restaurants are located. Overall, we can only recommend the place and if we're ever back in Picton, we will gladly book again!

Awesome place. I loved the key lock for self-check-in.

Can recommend this place to everybody. Nice and clean

Great spot to overnight in Picton. Nice little space with everything you need including breakfast. Try and meet the beautiful cats too.

A wonderful cosy cabin, set on a hillside above a side arm of the Marlborough Sounds. A stylish space with some excellent creative touches to its construction. A great base for day walking the Queen Charlotte track or exploring the Sound by boat or kayak. Very clean and well equipped, with a warm welcome from Clare.

Clare’s place is just beautiful, amazing location and lovely property, with so much to do near by. Thanks for a great stay.

Idyllic tiny house with stunning views. Clare is an excellent host and very responsive with communication. We booked last minute but everything was ready and clean and tidy. Easy to find and well signed from the road. Rough track from the road but not a problem. Parking right outside and only short distance to the tiny house. Views from the deck are stunning, with a sofa to relax and take it all in. The tiny house is perfect; plenty of space actually, with an excellent fully equipped kitchen. Very comfortable bedroom with en-suite. Lovely to lie in bed in the morning and look out over the sounds. The Queen Elizabeth Inn is walking distance (1km), just take a torch if getting ark and take care on the road until the footpath starts. Very friendly, and seems very popular with the locals. Not. A huge menu choice but really good food. Also opens at 1000 for coffee!

The perfect place for a break from the busy. It's inspiring to see what Clare has done to make a small space so liveable and comfortable, we never felt crowded - it's a case of everything you need and nothing you don't! We walked, drove to keneperu sound, did a couple of wineries in Blenheim, all easy enough to do from the cabin. And the best day was when we did nothing except the puzzle and read our books! Thanks so much for having us Clare, like I said, this place is perfect :)

Lovely stay. Beautiful location!

Superb address that we recommend with beautiful view, tranquility and comfort Congratulations on the decor. Pleasant attentions from our host. From this lodge we had access to all the nearby activities that we wanted to do (kayaking, mountain bikes, hiking) ideally located between Charlotte Sounds and Pelorus Sounds. thank you for everything

Great little place in an amazing location. The views are much better than the description photos imo. The house itself has everything you’ll need for a comfortable stay, in fact it felt almost like home. Clare also provided our 14 months old son a box of toys which was very nice.

Lovely house with great views: although not large it’s been very thoughtfully designed and has everything one could possibly need. We did great walks from Anawika (Queen Charlotte Sound) and Pelorus Bridge, both through beautiful indigenous forest.

Beautiful family home in an amazing location. Loved eating outside on the patio and taking it all in. Everything was spotless, cosy and even had books and boardgames to borrow. Walk to countless restaurants and tourist sights like the Pelorus mail boat. We loved our stay!

amazing location, amazing holiday. Hamish was great and the house has everything you need and more. Thanks again Hamish will be booking it again soon. Matt Cronin / Christchurch NZ

This is a great place with a lot of space, including a large kitchen, lounge and veranda. It's nicely tucked between the shops and the marina in Havelock so close to everything you need. Hamish was really quick to respond to the booking and queries and communicated throughout. Highly recommended.

The house is warm and well appointed. We had a good stay for work and the hosts were excellent. The location in Havelock is very central for the Marlborough sounds while still having access to shops and restaurants. Well priced, comfortable and warm. We will be booking again when working in the area again.

I didn't stay here personally but wanted to say thank you for much. The communication was super responsive and I was under a lot of pressure to have suitable accommodation for the team. A great place and brilliant value. It would be a pleasure to stay there again. a Truly Gracious host and fab place

Hamish’s place is spacious, comfortable and homely with a well equipped kitchen and awesome outdoor space. The pizza oven made a great evening meal. The house is very well located close to the marina and the shops and pubs. Everything you need for a relaxing break is there, and the place serves as a great base for the Marlborough Sounds. Recommended!

Great place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere to stay in Havelock. Thanks Hamish

We had a lovely relaxing break in this beautiful character cottage. Hamish was super responsive and hospitable even allowing us to amend our dates at the last minute due an incoming cyclone. The pizza oven and excellent hi-fi meant we spent some quality time as a family. Location is perfect with groceries just across the road and an easy walk to the marina with water taxis. Highly recommended!

Lisita and Bob were excellent hosts and their place was just right for our needs as we launched out into the sounds. All that we needed in one place. A lovely night’s stay. Thank you both.

The hosts are wonderful and kind. Very warm people. The space is nice and clean. If you don’t want to hear about how good Trump is, stay somewhere else, because that becomes part of the conversation.

Ligita and Bob were some of the warmest, most welcoming hosts we’ve experienced on Air BnB. After a harrowing drive from Picton, they were there to shield us with umbrellas as we got out of our car then take us to our spacious, well-appointed digs. It would be impossible for any accommodation to be cleaner or to be better equipped. To top it off, Bob drove us into town and gave us a quick tour before dropping us off for dinner. What a comforting touch! We would be delighted to stay with Ligita and Bob again any time.

Delightful people. Really nice place to stay. Absolutely everything has been thought off.

Great hospitality and useful tips to visit the area! Clean and roomy apartment.

Amazing hospitality, would definitely recommend staying here for a warm And friendly feeling home stay.

Great hospitality

We absolutely loved this olace! The hosts are so sweet and delightful. Great location, especially if taking the Mail boat cruise. All wonderful, we would definitely come back here.

The property totally exceeded our expectations. The room is very nicely and attractively furnished. Right next door is a well-equipped kitchen that can be used alone. The bathroom is in the house of Barbara and Jason. Since they have another one themselves, we also had the bathroom to ourselves. The beautiful and spacious garden can be shared. Right on the property is a river in which you can bathe and use kayak if there is enough water. Barbara has many tips on where to find beautiful tracks in the area. We would have loved to have stayed more than one night and can only recommend the property.

Really friendly hosts, clean, comfy bed and pillows, highly recommend.

Great and peaceful place, very cozy, beautiful nature all round and Jason and his partner are great hosts

Jason’s place is a perfect little stop along the way. The views from the garden were beautiful and the rooms had everything we needed. Would highly recommend this stay to others - lovely hosts and great place!

Lovely place tucked away by the river. Had everything we needed: a nice bed, laundry, kitchen, and a small orchard in the yard. Jason and Barbra were friendly and accommodating hosts. Would stay again!

A beautiful spot to stay, highly recommend 💚

Amazing cosy place by the river, with everything we needed for our stay! I would highly recommend to other bikers passing on the Tour Aotearoa route.

This place is fantastic! The bedroom is very comfortable, clean, and quiet. Kitchen attached is fully stocked with everything you need to cook. Also close to the bridge cafe and some great nature walks in the reserve there. Highly recommend!

A great location towards the end of Rapaura Rd surrounded by vineyards. The two adjoining units are set back from the main road, so traffic noise was no problem. Spacious, comfortable accommodation. We would be happy to stay there again.

Super comfy bed. Everything was so fresh and sparkling clean. It was spacious and relaxing.

Great place, apartment has everything you’d need. Amazing views and Laura was a fantastic host.

Amazing place, modern, clean and very comfy bed- set in right amongst the vineyards - extremely peaceful and close to all the local wineries! Laura is wonderful and a really friendly and welcoming host. We couldn’t recommend more and will definitely be back to stay in the future.

We had a wonderful couple of days with Laura. The accommodation is brilliant with a very comfortable bed and a choice of pillows which meant we slept really well. Laura’s recommendation of the local cycle wine tour was perfect and she was a thoughtful and generous host. We would thoroughly recommend the property and hope to be back one day to stay longer. Thank you Laura!

This house is the hidden jem in Blenheim. I liked Laura's house much better than I saw it in the picture. Amazingly clean clean clean and everything was perfect. Me and my husband only stayed for a day, but if we come back to Blenheim, we will definitely stay here again. Thank you, Laura.

Laura gave us clear check-in instructions beforehand and it was really nice to be greeted on arrival and to be given a few local tips! The location is in a beautiful setting surrounded by vineyards and was perfect for our bike-wine tour the next day. The unit itself had everything we needed and felt really modern but comfortable and homely. This was a great choice for part of our honeymoon, we felt really spoilt and would definitely stay again and recommend! Thank you!

Excellent host, great communication and very accommodating. Location is perfect for visits to all the wineries. After which you can come back to a very comfortable bed

Nice room. Very big and clean kitchen. Wonderful garden. Perfect stay.

Private back in a stunning location. Super comfy bed and everything works just fine. Great experience.

This place is awesome if you are looking for a quiet peaceful place to relax. Walk down to the beach to take in the sights and return to cook dinner in the well stocked kitchen. This was the perfect place to stopover and take a break.

We just stayed for one night at that beautiful place. If you need some time off from the hectic life this is the perfect place! you can go on great walks and the landscape is very amazing! the accommodation is brilliant and you find everything you need. Highly recommended!!!!

A very relaxing place to chill out after another long day of adventure!

Wonderful place to stay from the comfy shared living space, fully equipped kitchen, laundry and fresh air drying facilities! Our bed was very comfortable too! A home away from home!

It‘s a lovely place! Quiet and proper. Paul was totaly friendly and helpfull! A perfect place to relax!

Clean, comfortable, peaceful... a perfect stopover on our road trip from Nelson to Kaikoura.

Beautiful modern holiday home with a super view of the Sounds. Great amenities and location between Picton and Havelock. One of the nicest Airbnb’s we’ve stayed in.

Nothing like the luxury of waking up to the most magnificent views of the Marlborough Sounds. The place is very clean and tidy. The only downfall is the hot water system is placed in one of the bedrooms therefore it would wake us up whenever someone turned on the tap.

A lovely modern house located in beautiful part of the Marlborough Sounds. Quiet place with lots of space. Well kitted our with all you will need. The deck is absolutely amazing. Clean and pleasant and so easy to deal with getting in and settled

Beautiful view and comfy bed :)

Great space and amazing, beautiful location.

Fantastic views. And free use of the Kayaks. The house is very new and as comfortable as any Airbnb I’ve stayed at. That bed was so comfy! Drinks on the deck and star watching can’t be beat. What a great place!

Beautiful view and access to the water via waterside trail.

What a fantastic house from which to explore the Sounds. Only 6 months old, so very well presented. Modern and stylish. Use of kayaks is a bonus. Would definitely recommend.

Jo’s Ranui Rest in Waikawa was the perfect place to stay near Picton during our travels through New Zealand. The spacious accommodation was surrounded by lush gardens and waking up to the songs of birds was delightful. We had a most comfortable sleep, and wish that we could have stayed longer.

A beautiful place with a lovely sunny deck. Very spacious and well equipped.

We enjoyed our stay , wish we could stay more. Lovely home, and sit outside! Definitely recommended!

Very nice and comfortable place near to Picton. Unfortunately we stayed only one night there during our road trip ; next time we will stay longer !

This is an exceptionally good place, exactly as described in a lovely part of South Island. Jo and Bruce were friendly and welcoming..The place is nicely laid out and spotlessly clean . It is 30 minutes walk or 5 minute drive to Picton but it is in a quiet Road surrounded by hills. We particularly enjoyed sitting on the deck in the sunshine,

Nice place, cozy and clean. Also great communication with host and easy checkin / out. Thanks Wilfried

Spacious, peaceful, comfortable,well equipped self contained space. Everything is clean and fresh and was bigger than I'd expected from the photos. A very nice place to spend some time exploring Picton and the Sounds. There was a bit of noise from the main house but nothing too intrusive.

Jo's apartment at Renaui Rest is large, spacious, spotless, beautifully decorated and in the most serene setting. Jo has a green thumb, creating a beautiful garden right outside your door.

A unique stylish accommodation with an interesting history A great position for the Mail boat and the local pub Lovely breakfast view

A dream house, a warm and generous host and a nice little place with a great restaurant if you like mussels!

You will have to go a long way to better this place. The house and room are steeped in history, and the welcome is as warm as anyone would wish.

Jane's house is fab-u-lous! The room is huge and looks out to the water. Fantastic location. Breakfast was 5* Jane was the perfect host. Thank you.

A great experience staying at Janes place, a beautiful character villa and so handy to the village.

Janes home is large and full of character. Large comfortable room with a good bathroom. But it is the warmth and hospitality, with a lovely breakfast looking out over the sound that makes this stay worth visiting Havelock.

We had a lovely stay at Jane’s beautiful historic home with our toddler. Jane was a great host - thoughtful and friendly and we were spoilt with delicious breakfast. Very highly recommended.

Jane was a very welcoming host and made us feel right at home. It was like staying with a good friend. The accommodation is a lovely old Victorian house, full of character and in a beautiful setting by the sea. Highly recommended. David and Laurie

Wonderful little place in a beautiful part of the bays. Pam is a wonderful host, excellent communication and made us feel right at home. Loved taking the kayak out on the water. Thanks again!

Very good value, great spot, has everything you need and Pamela goes out of her way to make sure you have a great stay. Lovely verandah to look out at the bay

Amazing location and Pam waw a lovely host.

We had a lovely stay at Pamela's. It was quiet and private and had everything we needed. Pamela was very welcoming and gave us great tips to find glow worms and see the phosphorescence in the water. There is a great track for walking or biking to Picton. Ngakuta Bay is beautiful and quiet. Highly recommend staying here!

Pamela's place serves as a great home base for exploring the area--not only Ngakuta Bay, but also the neighboring bays on the sound as well via the Link Pathway. I primarily wanted to do some hiking and birdwatching, but Pamela also offers the use of her kayak, from which one can view the sting rays that inhabit the bay. I would recommend this bach to anyone with similar aims. One caveat, which I think Pamela makes clear but is worth emphasizing: there are no amenities in Ngakuta Bay. The closest cafe is the camp cafe at Momorangi Bay.

Pamela is a really nice host and the cabin is a really good place for a few days. It's located close to the sea so when you're enjoying your meal at the little terrace you've got an awesome view. Toilet and shower are not in the cabin but about 10m across the yard. The kitchen is quite good equipped. Check in was really easy. Pamela is a welcoming, friendly and lovely person with a lot of advices for activities in the surrounding area.

We a great stay at Pam’s bach. The location and being able to step out the front door straight onto Ngakuta Bay was a highlight. The kitchen has everything you need to cook a meal. We didn’t mind the shared toilet / shower as it was separate to Pam’s house so there was still privacy. Pam was very accomodating when our ferry was delayed and we arrived late at 10.30pm. Would definitely stay again!

Great little cottage in a beautiful location. Very private and has all the things you need for your stay. Very comfortable bedroom with stunning views, a lovely area outside to sit and soak up the sun. The kitchen has everything you need with ideal seating area. There is also another outdoor area before you go in the front door. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and strongly recommend to future Airbnb travelers.
