About this property

Modern Waterfront Home away from Home with views - Boat access only!

Boat access only.

A scenic 15 minute boat ride from Havelock to the inner Pelorus Sounds gives you full access to a private jetty with access to a swing mooring for a vessel up to 18 metres.

An easy 100 metre track bike leads you to a modern 3 double bedroom bach. Incredibly private, this modern bach comprises of three double bedrooms, a full bathroom and open plan living with a log burner. Sets of bi-fold doors open out to sunny decks on both sides on the bach making full benefit to the sun, with expansive views overlooking the bay through to Mahau Sounds. Full kitchen facilities with dishwasher saves time in doing dishes (kids will be happy).

Enjoy the native bush walks and the visits from Tui, Kereru (wood pigeon), Bell Birds, Piwakawaka (fantail), Quail, the local Heron and the occasional Weka.

The waterfront provides for safe swimming, water skiing, or your welcome to use our fishing Kayaks that gives you access to prime Snapper and King fishing spots. Please note that it may be a good idea to bring water shoes for swimming as there are mussell and oyster shells in the rocks.

During the day, relax a book in a hammock with a good drink, while at night enjoy a movie from a range of DVDs or enjoy family time with a large range of board games.
Special conditions:
Boat Access Only. Smoking outside only Please. No pets please due to local birds and wild life. Small children would need close supervision

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

Weekend Birthday Break
A fantastic find on Bookabach! Great location, close to Havelock yet secluded & private. The bach is spacious and has a fantastoc open plan layout. Outside there is a front balcony, which provides excellent views of the sound, as well as a rear deck that backs onto native bush.Has everything you need for a comfortable stay and the owner is very communicative. Keen to visit again.

Idyllic spot
Had the most amazing stay at Pinohia, it feels like staying at a home rather than a bach - very well equipped, clean and tidy with everything you need for relaxing, or active relaxing. Sitting by the fire gazing over the sounds was a hit. Will definitely be back!

Mud Bay Stay
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the bach contained everything we needed and plenty to keep us entertained. Lovely and clean and amazing views. Sitting in the egg chair in the morning on the balcony looking out over the water with a cup of coffee before everyone else got up was magic!!! Paul was fantastic and very helpful and very prompt with his replies. Thanks so much for sharing your bach with us. Loved it.
