About this property
Enjoy the view
The house: This fully furnished home has spectacular views from almost every room, built with an open plan flow and extensive floor-to-ceiling glass panels.
The top level has combined living, dining and kitchen, opening onto a wooden deck as well as an inner courtyard. The main bedroom is on this level. The lower level has two bedrooms and large bathroom, and there is a common area with a sofa/bed (sleeps 1)
It has a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, and coffee machine. There is coffee tea milk and sugar, and cooking basics - herbs spices olive oil etc.
Linen, towels and fluffy duvets are provided. You'll wallow in luxury. Bathrooms have liquid soap and shampoo.
The house is very eco friendly, and is cosy in winter with underfloor heating. In summer the house is cooled by utilising natural breezes by cross ventilation.
Although the property has a few stairs, the entire upper level is wheelchair accessible, (contact me for further details).
For a week or more there is a 20% discount, and 30% for longer than a month, Contact me for discounts for periods of many months, (going to write a book perhaps?) we can discuss further. If for some reason you have to cancel less than 60 days before arrival, I'll credit that amount for a stay at another time.
Nearby attractions: Blenheim (30mins drive), the centre of the Marlborough wine-growing area, with over 20 wineries to choose from, and a selection of gourmet dining, bars, artisan food outlets and art galleries. Nelson, Kaikoura, and the Nelson Lakes National Park are also nearby. It is a perfect base for vineyard touring, (cellar door tastings, vineyard gourmet lunches).
It is also an ideal location for boat tours, swimming with dolphins, walking, bike tours, and adventure activities.
Queen Charlotte Track: If you want to split your stay so you can walk the track, eg 1 night before and say a few days afterward contact me about options.
Or just enjoy the ever-changing unobstructed views from your luxury home base, a perfect place for a truly memorable visit to New Zealand’s South Island.
Getting Around: Waikawa is 3kms from Picton, which is the terminus for the Inter Island Ferry. Shuttles are available for transport to and from the ferry and the airport in Blenheim.

We loved our time at this wonderful house. It was the perfect place to relax after walking the Queen Charlotte track. Everything about it was spot on and the house definitely has the wow factor. Thank you for a fantastic stay.
What a beautiful property. To come home to the property at the end of a day of exploring the area and be greeted with that view was just so amasing. A constantly changing landscape that was so relaxing. Highly recommended to others.
We had a wonderful stay. The house is well-equipped with everything you need. The breakfast supplies and other treats in the pantry and fridge were a lovely surprise. Thank you for that.
Fantastic house. Amazing views. Very thoughtful hosts.
The house was advertised. But we also found an excellently kitted out kitchen for anyone who loves to prepare their own meals. Nigel is a very thoughtful host who wants you to have a good experience. He provided lots of detailed information on the house and things to do in the area and beyond. We had a warm welcome with a high quality food starter pack. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
Nigel all but rolled out a red carpet for us. Arrive whenever we wanted, let ourselves in, drink gift bottle of champagne while admiring the stunning view in his brand new, ultra modern, immaculately clean and superbly furnished home. Great location. Easy access to everything in the area. What more can I say? So hard to leave.
We were blown away by this home. It is outstanding! Everything and more is supplied, you will want for nothing. Highly recommended! Very attentive, although not intrusive host.
1 problem we did have was the street light coming through the top windows in the upstairs bedroom which was quite distracting if you like a dark room. We did find it uncomfortable for sleeping. A good eye pillow would be beneficial.
Beautiful relaxing stay before and after queen Charlotte walk
We stayed at this very comfortable, well appointed place, before and after walking the queen charlotte track. It was so lovely to know we had a comfortable, lovely house to start from and return to. Would come back. Nigel very easy to communicate with.
