The interior showcases artwork by leading New Zealand artists, while the fully equipped gourmet kitchen features an espresso machine and Le Creuset crockery for the ultimate culinary experience. The open-plan living space flows onto a spacious deck, providing an elegant setting for alfresco dining and relaxation. Outdoors, a large fireplace and a Weber barbecue make for effortless entertaining, ensuring guests can enjoy high-end outdoor cooking and warmth under the stars.
For those seeking tranquillity, the private yoga studio offers a dedicated space for meditation and movement. Unwind in the outdoor, heated infinity shower, surrounded by native bush and birdsong. For a deeper indulgence, soak in the outdoor bath under the stars, surrounded by the beauty of the Marlborough Sounds.
Perfect for those who appreciate exclusivity, comfort, and adventure, this property is more than a holiday home—it’s a first-class experience. Whether arriving by land or sea, this premium retreat delivers the finest in waterfront luxury. Immerse yourself in the ultimate coastal escape.
Due to the fact the property has unfenced access to the bay, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water. Strictly no animals are allowed at this property due to the native wildlife in the area. There are assorted sizes of life jackets which you are welcome to use at your own risk if you are kayaking. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
