Beachfront holiday rentals in Te Koko-o-Kupe / Cloudy Bay

This was an absolute hidden gem! David was incredibly hospitable and we felt right at home with all the special touches. I really appreciate all the effort that was put in, to making this stay feel oh so homely. Thank you once again. Joe and Za 😊

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

We had a wonderful family Christmas holiday by the sea. The location is amazing being on Queen Charlotte Sound with beautiful views across Waikawa and the sea. We went fishing from the jetty and very much appreciated the use of the paddle boards and kayak and hot tub. Its one of those places where you don't feel you need to 'go anywhere' but to just stay and relax which I guess is what holidays are for. It was hard to leave this holiday home

We had a lovely stay at Ben’s summer Bach. Waking up each morning to a view of the bay can’t be beat. The location is close enough to access Picton and Blenheim for restaurants and cafes etc while still feeling secluded and tranquil. Each access to trails and a wonderful place to kayak around. The fenced yard was perfect for my pups as well.

What a great find - the apartment has everything you could need, is lovely and clean and feels very homely. There is a beat pump and fireplace if needed. Was really helpful to have a laundry that we could use too. The location is beautiful with the garden leading right down to the water with a view of the marina. David is really friendly and available if you have any questions. We really enjoyed our stay and loved that it was dog friendly too.

Absolutely incredible. Highly recommend staying at this little slice of paradise. Will definitely be back.

We stayed at Tira Ora over Christmas and was definitely an amazing and very memorable time. We we're treated as part of the family with exceptional hospitality, food and festivities and even received a Christmas present under the tree. The estate is vast, with lots to do and explore and a good get away from civilisation, truly a retreat where one can reconnect with nature and each other. Our only regret is not spending more time here. Much love to the Tira Ora family, you were amazing!

Kerry's historic campervans are a unique gem! You'll especially love the view over the Moetapu Bay. The campervans are equipped with everything you need and we had no problems cooking dinner and breakfast. The outdoor shower is also an experience for itsself. Kerry is a truly friendly and accommodating host, he always responded swiftly to our messages.

An oasis only a bit more than an hour from the ferry. Clean and well-stocked, and a great value to boot! Bedrooms are separated from the living area by a nice hallway so noise isn’t an issue, and the beach is only occupied by a few other houses so feels perfectly deserted! Rebecca was super responsive and we’ll definitely be back…

This is a wonderful, comfortable house with absolutely stunning view. Seriously, the views are breathtaking! Food for your soul. The direct trail down to the beach was easy enough, and the toys (SUP, frisbee, bikes, pool table, etc.) made for plenty of fun. The kitchen / pantry were well appointed with everything we needed to cook family meals. And the outdoor table made al fresco dinning a joy. Beds were super comfortable and rooms (bed and baths) nicely spacious. The host was responsive and very friendly. 100% recommended!

The setting is stunning. We watched bio-fluorescence at night and rays cruise by in the morning - wow. Look, the house is older, definitely quirky!

this is a great place to stay while visiting Picton. Location is lovely and easy walking distance to restaurants and shops. Loved watching the activity in the marina. Accommodation was very well appointed and clean and comfortable. Note - make sure to read the location and access instructions before you arrive (will save some confusion) and the internal access to downstairs bedroom is via a narrow spiral stairs. Would definitely stay again next time we visit Picton!

Simply the best location! Beautiful views across the bay and perfectly situated across the road from the jetty, which has a bench seat to enjoy the sunrise and sunset with a coffee or beer. Halfway situated between Havelock and Picton, and 5 minutes from the start of the Queen Charlotte Track, this is the ideal location for walks and exploring the Sounds. The ideal home away from home

Marty and Sabine are wonderful hosts. They are long term residents and have lovingly created their home in this exquisite location. You cannot find a more peaceful and soulful spot. Swim, hike, read a book and be grateful that you landed here!

Absolutely magic spot. A beautiful Bach with lovely touches to make you feel right at home. Thanks Jill for sharing your piece of paradise!!

Amazing spot with beautiful setting. Lots to do and see on the property itself and nearby places to go fishing and skiing/donuting if you have your own boat. Even if wind is up there is always a place to find shelter and Tory channel remains pretty flat water. Wes was a great host and very chill! We would love to return

Fantastic, secluded location. Perfect accommodation for us, an extended family group of 9. Well equipped and spacious. The house had great access to the Sound including a mooring for our boat as well as kayaks for use. Inside the house had brilliant entertainment options including table tennis, pool table and games.

Had a wonderful stay. It’s a truly stunning spot. Being able to drive to the bach, having a mooring and a sandy beach a few minutes walk away made for a really special family holiday.

We had an amazing time! The best view I have ever had at an Airbnb! All the creature comforts of staying in civilization but a little bit out there. We loved being able to explore the island and be only 25 minutes from Nelson. The turkeys and sheep were curious and I think they enjoyed having us around. We will come stay again!
