Perfect Marlborough Sounds cabin retreat for your Sandy Bay getaway

Your private Sounds escape
Welcome to Sandy Bay Getaway , a cosy, self-contained 1-bedroom retreat perfect for couples seeking peace, nature, and that classic Marlborough Sounds lifestyle.

Wake up to birdsong, step out onto the deck, and take a short walk down to your own sandy beach. Spend the day swimming, kayaking, fishing, or simply swinging over the calm water as the light changes across the hills.

This is a true bach experience — simple, special, and completely restorative.

*Kenepuru Road is currently undergoing repair work and temporary closures can occur at certain times of the day.

What a wonderful experience. Fabulous unit and great host. Perhaps the best Bookabach we ever have had. If you want to chill out you will not find a better place. Take all you need and relax. Thanks Brian for creating such a place.
