Unplug and unwind, chilling in our two vintage 1960's caravans. These are off grid, nestled up in the bush in the heart of the Marlborough Sounds. Wake up to spectacular water views and enjoy the tranquility of the native bush and birdsong. This unique setup offers not one but two caravans - a bedroom caravan and a separate kitchen / living / dining caravan, both in an original, clean and tidy condition. A diesel heating system has been installed to heat both of the caravans. Enjoy the rustic charm and views from the hot water bush shower and the novelty of the separate 'loo with a view' from the toilet in the A Frame shed above. These caravans are separate from the main property, located 50 metres above the house amongst native bush. Enjoy the views of the Pelorus Sound below and watch the boats go by.
My family and I (Mum, Dad and three children) live permanently at a separate house on the property. We will respect your space and privacy. However, you may occasionally here some chatter. We invite you to come and share this little piece of paradise with us at this waterfront property, surrounded by native bush and birdsong.
