About the host
Hosted by Tracey Currie
Your hosts, Vaughan and Tracey both love the Marlborough Sounds and want to share their perfect punga paradise with others. Purchasing this property early 2023 they've since poured their love and time into creating Punga Heights Cabin, its amenities and enhancing the landscape.
Having worked and lived in the outer Pelorus Sound for several years farming, Vaughan knew that he'd love to call this area home again in the future, albeit part-time. He loves getting out on the water fishing, camping and hunting on the land, as often as he can.
Tracey grew up with the Marlborough Sounds on her doorstep, staying, kayaking, fishing and diving throughout much of the sounds over the years. She doesn't get out on or in the water as much these days but really appreciates the relaxation of sitting and appreciating the sights and sounds that surround.

Why they chose this property
Having looked throughout the Marlborough Sounds for a place to purchase we settled on Moetapu Bay because of its warm north-facing properties, its close proximity to Blenheim, and it being drive access.
We selected this section for its punga and variety of plants and trees, wee creek, existing dwelling, the properties potential, and of course the views. Being protected from the wind, and getting plenty of sunlight, the large property was exciting from the very first glimpse online.

What makes this property unique
The Punga Heights Cabin provides a chance to relax and recharge in a warm cosy off-grid cabin nestled amongst the punga and native bush. It offers the unique experience of an outdoor shower and composting toilet in the bush. The punga track is a super special feature and makes the walk to the beach easier on the legs and the eyes too!
