Birdsong, bush walks, biking and boating!

A delightfully well-appointed and character-filled holiday home located in Waikawa Bay, Picton - Gateway to the Marlborough Sounds.

Nicknamed the "Tree House" by its family your picturesque accommodation enjoys sweeping views of bush covered native reserve and will awaken you to a delightful chorus of native birdlife. The bright and spacious four bedroom home accommodates up to 10 guests in kiwi comfort with easy drive on access and plentiful off-street parking.

2 night minimum stay. A basic linen service and cleaning is included. Use of pool table, mountain bikes (2), wifi, espresso machine, BBQ and TV included.

Adjoining Victoria Reserve, a labyrinth of mountain bike trails and walking tracks will lead you on adventures from the bottom of the garden with beaches, tennis courts and playgrounds to discover. A short 15-minute bush walk leads you to Waikawa Marina where you can lunch or coffee at the water’s edge in the bustling hive of marine activity. Or a 25 min walk the other direction will lead you through the regenerating forest to downtown Picton and its retail offerings, gift stores, art galleries, restaurants, cafes and more.

There is never any shortage of sights to see and experiences to enjoy in the Marlborough Sounds with sea kayaking, dolphin watching, fishing adventures, wine tasting, hiking and mountain biking trails all to be discovered and enjoyed.

And at the end of your day relax and enjoy the enticement of a wafting BBQ on the spacious deck. Lift your glass and toast the gift of time as you watch the sun set on another day in paradise.
