A tranquil beachside getaway to Marlborough Sounds

A tranquil beachside getaway to Marlborough Sounds

Love the idea of camping but would rather be on firmer ground, in a comfy bed with a fluffy pillow? Us too. That’s why this gorgeous cabin in New Zealand’s stunning Marlborough Sounds is the anti-camper’s dream.

Surrounded by lush greenery and the pristine waters of Ohingaroa Bay, the cabin is the perfect base to get back to nature and indulge in utter relaxation. And the best part? It’ll only set you back $74 a night.

Simple and small yet perfectly practical, the cabin has all the essentials – a comfy double bed, lounge, TV, sitting area, kitchen and heating. Since this holiday is all about getting reacquainted with Mother Earth, there’s no Wi-Fi to distract you – or your tech-obsessed guest.

A separate shower and toilet are located only 20 metres from your doorstep, but more importantly, so is the water. You’ll have a rowboat all to yourself so you can get out there and explore all the attractions the Sounds has to offer. Your hosts, Leicester and Liana, are also happy to arrange local tours, guided kayak trips and even mussel fishing.

If this sounds like heaven to you, see the spectacular property in the gallery above and click here to learn more.
