This property has spectacular views of the entrance to the Pelorus Sounds. Sit back and watch the recreational boats, mussel boats and barges come and go through the channel. This fully refurbished warm modern two-bedroom cottage with sea views from every room is sure to impress. The main hub of the house, kitchen, lounge & dining area is open plan. The kitchen consists of a microwave, induction cook-top, full-size fridge-freezer, and pod coffee machine. Some essential pantry items, crockery, cutlery, etc provided. There is a heat-pump/air condition unit and a 40 inch TV with Netflix, Lightbox/Neon to keep you entertained. Free Wifi. Both bedrooms have En-suites with hairdryers and towels supplied. Bedroom 1 has a King size bed. Bedroom 2 has a super-king bed that can be separated into two singles if required. All quality bed linen supplied. A lounge sofa pull-out bed can also be made up into a double bed if required. There is a BBQ for your use plus a BBQ table to sit out and enjoy the sunny Marlborough weather. 3x kayaks are available on request including adult life jackets. Ample off-street parking for your car and a small trailer boat.
My husband and I are just behind the cottage at the main house in case you have any questions or worries but otherwise, the cottage is self-contained and we respect our guest's privacy.
From the cottage, it's a 1 minute drive to the boat ramp or town that has a four square, restaurants, cafes, chemist and laundrette. Havelock has so much to offer, walking/cycling tracks, mailboat boat trips, fishing charters, etc and it is only 20 mins drive to the Marlborough winery region, so you just won't want to leave!
