The property

Fernleigh is a 2 bedroom Moetapu Bay holiday home set in tall Kanuka forest, with commanding views from the deck across the azure blue Pelorus Sound! This homely Moetapu Bay holiday home is a tranquil getaway. Enjoy lush surrounds with native ferns and birdsong - listen to Tui, Bellbirds, Kereru, Thrush, Quail and Weka, to name a few... Watch Gulls and Oyster Catchers on the water. The atmosphere at Fernleigh is very relaxing and private, it is a great place to restore your soul! Sit on the deck, look out to sea, and take in your beautiful surroundings. Plus, enjoy a drink and meal outside on the deck. Indoors at this Moetapu Bay accommodation there is a medium sized lounge with a brand new wood burner and Freeview TV. Stargaze in the evenings and view the glowworms along the top drive... Then, sink into the comfortable beds for a great night's sleep in almost total quiet! The bedding configuration consists of bedroom 1, fitted with a Queen size bed and a single bunk set, and bedroom 2 with 2 single beds. A bush path leads to your very own beach for reading, sunbathing, boating, swimming in summer and gathering shells. Nearby activities include fishing charters, kayaking and boat cruises based in Havelock. You can walk the famous Queen Charlotte walkway from nearby Anakiwa and Te Mahia. Plus, Blenheim and the extensive Marlborough vineyards are only an hour's drive away. For a laid-back, replenishing holiday in a superb location... Fernleigh welcomes you!
