Swim, Fish & Unwind at Sandy Bay | House in Kenepuru Sound

Set amongst native bush with beautiful views across Kenepuru Sound towards Mt Stokes, this comfortable three-bedroom, two-bathroom holiday home is made for easy days by the water.
Swim, paddleboard or kayak in the calm bay, bring the boat and spend the day fishing, explore nearby walking and mountain biking tracks, or simply settle in on the deck and enjoy the peace and quiet of the Sounds.
The house has drive-on access, plenty of room to park a boat and a handy wash-down area. Outside, a large fully enclosed private deck has an oversized BBQ table — a great spot for long lunches, family dinners and evenings overlooking the water.
A short walk from the house takes you down to a sheltered bay ideal for swimming, paddleboarding and kayaking. Boats can also be launched here with a 4WD, and a mooring and dinghy are available for guests to use.
Sleeping arrangements
The house comfortably suits families or small groups:
Master bedroom: Queen bed with ensuite. This room is separate from the main house and located at the far end of the deck.
Bedroom 2: Queen bed plus single bed.
Bedroom 3: Double/single bunk combination.
