Holiday rentals with beach access in Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui

Ralph & Cynthia's place is absolutely stunning! The views are breathtaking, the property is private and quiet, making it a peaceful retreat. Ralph and Cynthia are very welcoming, eager to share their local knowledge, which really enriched our experience. Highly recommend this gem for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway with amazing views and gracious hosts.

Even better than in the photos. Truly incredible place. Great location, beautiful deck, good amenities, amazing view, clean, comfortable, private. Can't fault it. A thousand times better than the three-times-the-price resort down the road. Brett is great, super friendly and helpful. 10/10 would recommend.

Great spot in a great little town. Loved ever bit of our stay. Would definitely recommend

Jill’s apartment was ideal for our one night stopover before catching the ferry. The apartment was clean and we had everything that we needed. Parking outside made it easy to load / unload the car. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great location, very comfortable lounge and nice outdoor area too. John's apartment is very well equipped with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The bedroom upstairs is fab and the bed was super comfy. Our boat is in Waikawa so we couldn't ask for a more perfect location. Thanks John!

We stayed 1 night at Kim’s beautiful apartment after our ferry over from the North Island. The apartment was very clean, well stocked and the views were amazing!! Would stay again!

The apartement was nicely furnished and very clean. There were thoughtful little extras like some cold drinks and breakfast cereal or little snacks upon arrival so that we could settle in and feel at home immediately. David is helpful and easy to reach if there are any questions. The view from the apartment is beautiful!

It was perfect. We had three grands and it worked better than imagined. Used the picnic table with food cooked on a fab BBQ. Maybe best in Picton. Everything easy to operate. The bed was comfortable The place was easy to find and the Internet worked just fine. Since we rented a summer home in Canada for years we know what it takes to do the job of being perfect host and Lesley and Garry certainly made the efforts to succeed Thanks Terry and Mary

We had a lovely stay at Tracey's place. It was easy to find. Tracey sent us clear instructions on how to get in and responded straight away to our questions through the website. Her home was super clean, homely and comfortable. We had plenty of space. It was really nice sitting out on the porch in the morning in the sunshine. Our kids loved the toys. We'd definitely stay there again! Thank you Tracey!

Such a nice house! Very clean, very comfortable, well equipped and lots of space. Short drive to Picton. Fantastic hiking trails to Picton and Bob’s Bay. Shelley Beach is nice for swimming. There’s a restaurant within walking distance called Jolly Roger on the marina and we enjoyed that. Very nice stay here!

A really beautiful spot to have a relaxing holiday. The place had everything we needed and more! The beach itself can be a little sharp with the oyster shells but there’s plenty of other good beaches just around the corner. The hot tub and the egg chair on the balcony got a lot of wear. It was a little bit too cold for the plunge pool but also a lovely spot by the pool. Claire was responsive and helpful getting us a new bottle quickly when we realised we were a bit low on gas for the bbq halfway through our trip. It was a great holiday and we would definitely stay again.

Absolutely one of the best spots we’ve been. The house is very clean and nicely appointed to the best possible view. The host is very helpful and really went out of way by helping us prepare the clean sheets and linen at the last minute, which really made our day easy. Thank you so much Brad for hosting us and offering us the best new year!

Just the view of the sounds that you could hope for! Peaceful in the morning and lovely to sit down at the boat house at sunset. Margaret was very thoughtful and the house was a place to rest and relax in. The view is stunning!

Awesome place to stay - magic view and everything you need for a perfect stay. Thanks to owners - we loved it here.

Would highly recommend this great little spot! We are a family of 4 and it was just perfect! Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated home that felt like home to us for the few days we were there. We loved sitting having meals on the deck and loved the spa pool! Great location too for a short cut walk into Waikawa marina and the Jolly Roger was fantastic! Thankyou for having us, we will be back!

The warmth of our hosts is evident in this lovely home with a view of the bay. The house has a wonderful design for a large group with plenty of spaces for people to make their own. The view is stunning and the deck a lovely place to cook, dine and lounge. Everything is sorted for those with boats including a place to fillet your catch. We had loads of info from our hosts including local fishing spots. On our stay we were sheltered from the wind and Waikawa has it all.
