Nestled into a quiet cove within the picturesque Marlborough Sounds, this is a unique property offering apartment-style accommodation in the heart of New Zealand's finest wine district and overlooking its glorious waters. Stylishly appointed rooms with contemporary kitchenettes let you enjoy meals on your private balcony, although there's also an all day café and à la carte restaurant on site. There are plenty of non-motorized water sports on offer as well as an all-weather fresh water swimming pool and hot tub, although you can swim safely from the beach too. For additional pampering there is a day spa facility. This is an exclusive retreat and a playground for sailing, fishing and kayaking in an unspoilt natural environment.

To help you make the right choice, we give each property a rating based on its facilities and service, but we also look for hotels with distinct character or a location that can’t be bettered.
