Overview
Fernleigh is a 2 bedroom Moetapu Bay holiday home set in tall Kanuka and Manuka 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. There is a private boat mooring, which guests are welcome to use.
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!

Stayed April 2019Classic Kiwi Bach experience in a wonderful location
Kirsten
Stayed April 2019Location, location, location - fabulous spot in Moetapu Bay. It's very Kiwiana and whilst old and a little dated has almost everything you need for a comfortable stay including a dishwasher! You aren't paying top dollar so don't expect what top dollar gets you, but if you are after peace and quiet in an outstanding, affordable setting, where the views both day and night are fantastic, then this could just be the spot for you.

Stayed January 2019This is a great basic kiwi bach. Good for children although we had to drive to Moetapu Bay for swimming. Lovely views and very peaceful.

Stayed December 2018We really enjoyed our stay here. The location is very private and has its own beach access. It has a great (covered) deck with a fab view of the water and hills - perfect for relaxing outside in all weathers. The house has a unique interior that will bring back memories for anyone in New Zealand in the 70s and 80s - some things we didn't even realise we remembered. It is very comfortable with everything you need for a great (self-contained) stay.
