A real highlight of the QC track and our honeymoon! Welcoming us off the boat, beautiful clean room with the best view, 11/10 food, fantastic service, amazing quirky and clean animal park, his and her bathtubs were a real treat, a truly special part of the sounds that could pass as a tropical island.

An absolute gem in the beautiful Marlborough Sounds.After a 20 minute cruise from Picton, you step off the boat into another world, so lovely and peaceful.Relax in one of the hammocks with a book, take a leisurely kayak around the bay, explore the tracks through native bush or join the amazing Wildlife Team for an animal tour.

This is a magical place, where you can get away from the pace of life and enjoy relaxing and watching the world go by. There are lovely walks and lots of interesting little nooks and crannies to explore. The staff are friendly and helpful. We loved our visit - thank you!!
