Written by Jessica V | Sep 15, 2023 4:01:00 AM

Escape to a tranquil paradise that's truly off the grid. This spacious 1930's Californian Bungalow offers a slice of New Zealand's natural beauty located deep within Pelorus Sound. Wake up to the melodic songs of tui and bellbirds, share a moment with the mischievous weka, and let the morepork's nighttime calls serenade you.

With room for 10, it's a perfect retreat for families or friends. The well-equipped kitchen makes catering a breeze. There's ample fridge and freezer space, so you can stock up for your stay.

The accommodation boasts three double bedrooms and a bunk room, with extra sleeping options like a pull-out single bed and two single stretcher beds. Whether you're indoors or on the great deck, the views of "Yncyca Bay" are breathtaking.

The property's unique charm lies in its seclusion—accessible only by boat, it's a true escape from the hustle and bustle. No streetlights, no internet, no cell coverage, and no TV—just the sound of birds and the brilliance of starlit nights.

Your days can be spent swimming and fishing off your private floating jetty, exploring the bay in kayaks, or simply unwinding in this natural haven.

Getting here is part of the adventure. Bring your own boat, hop on the mail boat, or take a water taxi. Whichever way you choose, the journey to this hidden gem is as memorable as the stay itself. Disconnect, recharge, and embrace the serenity of this remote retreat

 

To access this spot, travel an hour from Picton to Havelock. Water taxi and water transfer options from Havelock to Yncyca Bay are detailed in the listing.

With prices from NZD $300 per night, this secluded hideaway is not to be missed.
