Endeavour Inlet Paradise- Expansive sea views in sunny, private setting

Escape to paradise for a relaxing family holiday at The Pines in Endeavour Inlet. Enjoy tranquil and expansive views of Endeavour Inlet in a private setting with all day sun surrounded by native bush and birds.

The house is a mid-eighties style Kiwi bach. Its spacious, sunny, open plan with a high stud, internal mezzanine floor and large, gated deck ideal for barbecues and young children. Wifi is provided free of charge. There is a heat pump (7kw) to keep you warm and toasty on cooler days. Access is by boat only with a regular water taxi service from Picton. A 3tonne mooring is also available for boats up to 10 metres (30 feet) in length. The house is close to the Queen Charlotte Track. It is a short walk up to the house from the jetty (about 100-150 metres) via a well-used public quad bike access road. This is stoney and steepish in sections, but there is a gentler bush track beside it for walkers to use.

There is lots to keep you entertained - the house is near the beach and internationally famous Queen Charlotte track with its variety of day, overnight and shorter walks. It takes only takes about 25 minutes through the renowned Howden's Bush to walk to Furneaux Lodge for coffee or a meal or alternatively take a water taxi across to Punga Cove for pizza!
There is great fishing with abundant blue cod and gurnard in the area. Alternatively take a trip to the native bird sanctuary on Motuara Island to view saddlebacks, kakariki and South Island robins in their natural habitat. Equally you may just enjoy relaxing with a good book.

Extras: Linen is included, beds are made up for your arrival. and there isn't a cleaning fee. Given no additional cleaning fee is charged you are asked to leave the house clean and tidy and to do the dishes before you leave. Two kayaks and a dinghy are also available for your use.
The vacation home is heated and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, an electric kettle, and a travel crib.

Long weekend in the Sounds

We loved this property. Very close to the jetty - just a short walk (albeit uphill) to the bach. The views are lovely from the deck. Having access to a dingy and a buoy to attach to was great for fishing. Will stay here again.

Stunning Spot

We loved our Sounds week, this was a great spot which suited across the 3 generations in our group. The communication and care from property owners was A+/above expectations. It is up a steep climb which was very slippery during our stay, but not an issue at all, part of the experience. We would love to come again, thanks Liz and Bruce.

Beautiful house and perfect location

This was our second visit, and I hope it won't be our last. Despite some very patchy weather we had a great time – walking, kayaking, swimming, and just enjoying the glorious views from the deck. The house is spacious and well equipped, and the six of us had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The hosts went out of their way to help us, and their communication was excellent throughout.

Amazing spot even in the rain!

Amazing spot with everything you need right on your doorstep! Beautiful setting, with a great deck for BBQing, taking in the view and containing our girl. Complete with weka making their daily rounds! Easy stroll up the way to the lodge, not too bad even with the rain. Great lunch and coffee. Easy communication with our host - the detailed instructions and setup were perfect.

Amazing Spot

Absolutely amazing place! PARADISE Great for familys, board games there to use and kyaks. Liz and Bruce were super easy to deal with and responded to messages very quickly! The area the house is in is very cool for kids! With lots of walks to do and nice being where you can bump into other people or not if you choose. A little walk up a hill to the house but great bit of fitness and a lovely view! Highly recommended this place and hosts.

Nice stay in the bay.

This house is located a short walk up from the Jetty. The track to the house was fine to walk as it was dry weather. It is steep in sections and I wouldn’t want to tackle it in poorer weather. The house is older but well looked after and is a fair price for the condition as described. We used the mooring and it was easy to navigate with the dingy supplied.

New Years at Furneaux Lodge 2023

Unfortunately our plans changed and not all of us made it out there due to very strong Southerly weather conditions but those that made it had a great stay, excellent communications with Liz the property owner thank you for sharing your slice of paradise with some of us. The only comment with regards to taking your own boat is mooring is quite exposed in a Southerly wind just something to consider.

Endeavour Inlet cosy family bach

The bach is really cosy, perfect for our small family of 3. The owners' welcoming and communication had been great from the moment I've booked the bach. We have really enjoyed staying at this wonderful family bach, in the midst of isolated beauty of Endeavour Inlet. The walk to Resolution Bay from Endeavour Inlet's really scenic, a must do! Kudos the Endeavour Inlet's community trust people who worked hard to bring back more birds 🐦👍👏 we were literally followed by curious chirping piwakawakas as we walked along the track. Lovely! 😀
