Cottage with stunning sea views. 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 of the estuary. 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 (split level) to dining area is open plan. The kitchen consists of a microwave, induction cooktop, full-size fridge-freezer, and pod coffee machine. Some essential pantry items, crockery, cutlery, etc provided. There is a heat pump/air conditioner unit and a 40-inch TV with Netflix & Neon to keep you entertained. Free Wifi. Both bedrooms have En-suites with hairdryers and towels supplied.

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!
