About this property

Bora castle. Cottage with stunning sea views.

This property has spectacular views of the entrance to the Pelorus Sounds. Sit back and watch the recreational boats, mussel boats and barges come and go through the channel of the estuary.
This fully refurbished warm modern two-bedroom cottage with sea views from every room is sure to impress.
The main hub of the house, kitchen, lounge (split level) to dining area is open plan. The kitchen consists of a microwave, induction cooktop, full-size fridge-freezer, and pod coffee machine.
Some essential pantry items, crockery, cutlery, etc provided. There is a heat pump/air conditioner unit and a 40-inch TV with Netflix & Neon to keep you entertained. Free Wifi.
Both bedrooms have En-suites with hairdryers and towels supplied. Bedroom 1 has a King-size bed (also split level.) Bedroom 2 also has a King-size bed that can be separated into two singles if required.
All quality bed linen is supplied. A lounge sofa pull-out bed can also be made up into a double bed if required.
Luxury touches and thoughtful attention to detail can be found everywhere, from the Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules in the kitchen to the gorgeous toiletries in the sparkling new bathrooms.
There is a BBQ for your use plus a BBQ table to sit out and enjoy the sunny Marlborough weather. 3x kayaks are available including adult life jackets.
Attached small laundry with a tub & washing machine.
Ample off-street parking for your car and a small trailer boat plus lock-up bike storage.
From the cottage, it's a 1-minute drive to the boat ramp or town that has a four square, restaurants, cafes, a chemist and a laundrette.
Havelock has so much to offer, walking/cycling tracks, mailboat boat trips, fishing charters, etc and it is only 20 mins drive to the Marlborough winery region, so you just won't want to leave!
My husband and I are just behind the cottage at the main house in case you have any questions or worries but otherwise, the cottage is self-contained and we respect our guest's privacy.

Havelock magic
Very clean and well set out retreat within walking distance of township with awesome views of the water. Weather was very hot so very thankful for the air-conditioning. Jan was extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Highly recommended for a holiday retreat.

SPECTACULAR VIEWS, GORGEOUS PROPERTY, WHY ON EARTH DIDN'T WE BOOK A WEEK?
An absolutely beautiful property, immaculately presented with considerable thought given to providing every comfort. Gorgeous views from bedrooms, living room and kitchen. Loved the garden with front-row seats to views over the Pelorus Sounds. It's a tragedy (nothing short of) that we didn't think to stay longer but then, there's always going back if, that is, it's not booked up till 2025!!
Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023
