This peaceful hideaway provides all the comforts of home, including a TV, books, and board games for relaxed evenings. Step out onto the expansive deck with outdoor seating and a BBQ, perfect for enjoying sunny afternoons or stargazing under the clear night skies.

Inside, the open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge area welcomes you with warmth and simplicity. Sliding doors open onto the wraparound deck, inviting the outdoors in and offering elevated, sun-drenched views across native bush and glimpses of the bay beyond. For cooler nights, a log burner keeps the space cosy and inviting.

After a day on the water, unwind in one of three well-appointed bedrooms — one with a double bed and two with twin singles — offering peaceful rest surrounded by native birdsong.

Accessible via sealed road and with ample parking, this retreat includes a mooring as well as ROW access to the beach and jetty, making it easy to launch the boat, kayak, or paddleboard. Spend your days swimming, fishing, or exploring nearby bush walks and scenic drives, before returning to the calm comfort of your private haven.

Just over a 20-minute drive from Havelock, and around 35 minutes from Picton, this peaceful base places you close to the best of Marlborough. Enjoy local cafés, restaurants, and galleries, or visit Picton’s waterfront and ferry terminal — the gateway between the North and South Islands and the heart of the Sounds.

Kererū Retreat is the perfect blend of tranquillity and adventure in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds.
For safety, please closely supervise young children outside, as the property has unfenced beach access.
