With generous outdoor space, direct water access, and a relaxed coastal setting, this retreat is ideal for families, boaties, and anyone looking to soak up the serenity of the Sounds.
Step outside onto the deck and take in the open, grassy surroundings that stretch down to the water’s edge—perfect for kids to play or simply unwinding in the fresh coastal air. Fire up the BBQ for easy alfresco meals, then step inside to a light-filled living space where large windows frame the stunning outlook. Comfortable seating, a Smart TV, books, and board games create a welcoming hub for quiet evenings, while the dining area flows seamlessly to the outdoors. The well-equipped kitchen ensures everything is on hand for effortless holiday cooking.
Designed to accommodate families and groups, the home features three inviting bedrooms, including a king room and additional queen and bunk options for flexible sleeping arrangements. The bathroom is well-appointed for convenience, and thoughtful extras such as a washing machine, dryer, and ironing facilities make longer stays easy and comfortable. Warmth is taken care of with a fireplace and heater for cosy nights in.
Positioned halfway between Havelock and Picton—just a scenic 25-minute drive in either direction—Sounds Serenity is perfectly placed for both relaxation and exploration, with both towns offering their own charm, dining, and local experiences. The property is also located along the popular Link Pathway, making it an excellent base for walking and cycling right from your doorstep. Spend your days kayaking or fishing, exploring nearby walking tracks and hidden bays, or simply enjoying the peaceful waterfront setting. Pets are welcome to join you during your stay; however, please note the property is not fenced, so pets will need to be supervised at all times.
Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking.
