2 Bedroom Cottage in Havelock, Mahakipawa

Mahakipawa Waterfront Hideaway is a two-bedroom Marlborough holiday home designed for relaxation and adventure. Though easily accessible by road, the surrounding native bush creates a private, secluded feel. A large sunny deck offers space for dining,
entertaining, and soaking up views of the tidal Mahakipawa Arm.
When the tide is in, launch kayaks or paddle boards from the garden; at low tide, explore the craggy shoreline or stroll the Link Pathway, which crosses the driveway. After a day outdoors, unwind in the cedar and stainless hot tub on a lower deck, surrounded by bush and birdlife.
Inside, modern comforts ensure a stress-free stay. The spacious bathroom features a shower over bath, and the well-equipped kitchen includes a dish drawer and Nespresso machine. Water is purified through eco-friendly UV and filters. The open-plan kitchen, dining, and lounge (with TV) opens to the deck, and a heat pump keeps the home cosy year-round. Two bedrooms sleep six: one with a queen bed, desk, and TV, the other with two sets of bunks. The couch can serve as a single bed if needed. Wi-Fi and Chromecast-equipped TVs provide access to free-to-air and streaming apps.
For boating enthusiasts, the property has a swing mooring for vessels up to 12 metres, visible from the deck. Smaller boats can be launched from Belvue Bay, or use the commercial ramp at Havelock Marina. A council layby at the top of the drive offers temporary boat parking. Kayaks and paddleboards are available for family fun.
Historic Havelock’s cafes, bars, and Four Square are just 10 minutes away, with Queen Charlotte Tavern five minutes in the other direction. The Queen Charlotte Track at Anakiwa is 14 minutes’ drive, while Marlborough vineyards and Pelorus River are about 30 minutes away.
