About this property

Beautiful Ngakuta Bay is set in the prime area of Queen Charlotte Sound.
It is a 15 minute drive to Picton or to the start of The Queen Charlotte track and 30 minutes to Marlborough's wineries.

Our picturesque bay has a large grass reserve to lovely safe swimming beach,a good boat ramp, a new jetty and ski lane. The bay has an excellent mountain biking /walking track that has spectacular views of Queen Charlotte sound and in our opinion views equal to anything seen on the Queen Charlotte track.
This area is a kayaking /boating paradise and has won NZ tourism wards and international recognition for its scenic beauty for both summer and winter.

Our large architect designed holiday home sleeps 13 and is situated in main Ngakuta Bay where the sandy beaches and boat ramp are [not in Little Ngakuta Bay]. It is a sunny resort style property for both summer and winter and is only a 2 min walk to the safe sandy swimming beach. 3 large heat pumps and heaters to every bedroom ensure a warm cozy winter stay.
The home is set in 1/2 an acre of private,lovely landscaped grounds with spacious flat lawns and is fully fenced.

Highly Recommended

The house and gardens were absolutely beautiful! Plenty of space for our large family group and it was well equipped with everything we needed. Clean and immaculately maintained and it catered for all age groups including toddlers and teenagers. Our family had a wonderful holiday. Thank you so much Catherine and Paul, we’ll definitely be back again!

Artistic home large enough for all

The house was lovely and it was a privilege to stay in the original home of the artist and her family, whose large format paintings adorned the walls. It was a pleasantly quiet area near to a shallow and safe beachfront where we used the house kayaks. We did however feel tired of driving the right bends for 20minutes each time we needed to go to Picton and beyond, so perhaps a little more research on our part was needed. There was space enough for two families with very comfortable rooms and a full size kitchen which we made good use of. Thankyou for a lovely stay.

Great Family Bach

Absolutely great bach. It caters to big extended families and kids of all ages. The photos don't do it justice, we were completely shocked when we arrived - in a good way! We are already working out when we will return. It is a new favourite for us. Really well equipped, comfy beds, great host - no complaints from us at all!
