Taipare Bay Apart Hotels

"Everything was good except the outside plug to plug in fridge/ freezer did not work and the plug on the other side in the bedroom was also not working "

"Beautiful view, comfy beds and lovely linen.A well appointed home away from home."

"This place was so peaceful. Only a short walk through beautiful forest from the water to the house. The water was perfect for a peaceful swim. The outlook from the house was stunning. Coffee pod machine was much appreciated. The Billard table gave us much fun. Would have been nice to have stayed for much longer. The place was very clean and tidy."

"The place was clean, well equipped for families and couples like us, with plenty of bedrooms and living spaces with a large deck and outside seating. There were also kayaks to enjoy the stunning Marlborough Sounds.The property is perfectly located for walking and enjoying water sports. There is a 30 minute drive up a gravel road which can get a little muddy and slippery, so if you're hiring a car it might pay to get at SUV or 4x4, however, we did manage with a 4 door hatch.Havelock is close by with a small supermarket and plenty of cafés, there is also the mail boat for cruising the Sounds.Just a heads-up that due to location there is no cleaning service or rubbish collection so either bring your own bed lining or you will have to hang around while you wash and dry sheets. You will need to give yourself extra time in your schedule to wash and dry sheets and take the rubbish to the Havelock waste disposal, which was pretty easy.We loved the peace and quiet, with stunning views. It was perfect for what we wanted, to truly relax from our busy life. "

"What an awesome weekend, great spot. Spend every night outside by fire, walkable to beach and great wee shop at camping ground. Highly recommend "

"Home away from home, fantastic location "

"Amazing location with lots of great activities for everyone. The beds are very small doubles, so as tall people we had to use the single mattresses from the other room to get comfortable. Hope that's helpful for other tall folk to know!Otherwise awesome :)"

"Quiet. Warm wee house. Stone throw from the water’s edge. "

"Great views of the water from the cabin, everything was very clean and presented beautifully."
