LOCATION

Looking for a tranquil and sheltered site away from the crowds for your first night on the track?

Wake to the gentle sound of the small stream nearby and the song of native birds.

Find us at the top of Endeavour Inlet, 2 minutes off the track , just over the swing bridge.

This is at the end of the first day's walk on the Queen Charlotte Track or SOBO on the Te Araroa Walk (approximately five hours or 20kms from Meretoto/Ships Cove) or last night NOBO.

If you are biking and on the afternoon water taxi it is a great location for your first night.

Our local wharf is "Miners wharf" if you need to be picked up or dropped off by the water taxi companies.

Your hosts

Marion and Carey are your hosts. We are retired and love living in the Marlborough Sounds.
