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

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

Lovely wee place in a beautiful, quiet location. We'll be back soon.

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 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.

David's place is perfect to be away from the noise of the ferry dock but close enough to Picton Towne Centre that you can still see all that it has to offer, museums, shopping, groceries, and head back on a nice day and either watch the boats in the harbor or go for a spin in a kayak as I did! His selection of books also gives insight to NZ history and it's boating characters.

The perfect family holiday house! We stayed with our two young kids and two sets of grandparents and had plenty of room. Very comfortable house with everything you need, except a dishwasher! A dishwasher would be a great improvement as washing dishes for 8 people by hand three times a day takes a lot of time and work out of your holiday…that’s really the only down side as everything else was absolutely perfect. The location is great, so much to do but for the people that just need a place to relax and do nothing, this is perfect too. The view is stunning from pretty much anywhere in the house. The private beach access is amazing and we enjoyed the kayaks that come with the house. We also enjoyed picking fresh lemons or grapefruits for juicing from the trees in the garden, how lush! Honestly would come again in a flash if I could afford it again! The price for this house is up there and might need reviewing considering the rather dated interior but space and location make it worthwhile.

Beautiful location and very comfortable space. Our family would not hesitate to return. The gardens are well kept and a great treat. Thank you Steve and Antonia!

lovely little spot in the bush for a getaway :) we loved being able to use the kayaks and walk down to the private beach

Beautiful views and beach . House has everything you could need and more. Comfy beds and soft sheets and lovely white towels very nice touch. It’s a hike to get to and from beach but so lovely listening to the bird song and cicadas.

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!

Fabulous time in this lovely house .Spent lots of time on deck looking at the view. Very close to all restaurants and access to ferries . Would definitely return

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
