Endeavour Inlet, Marlborough Sounds, Marlborough, Marlborough

Nestled at the northern end of Endeavour Inlet, a large bay at the end of Queen Charlotte Sound, this private and well-appointed five-bedroom home is surrounded by lush native bush, providing soothing morning bird songs on the deck and showcasing glowworms at the back door by night. The property spans over 2,000 square meters, with clearly defined fenced boundaries. Built to code compliance in 2018, the home emphasizes functionality and spaciousness, making it a wonderful retreat in the Marlborough Sounds—just a stone's throw from excellent fishing spots and only 30 minutes by boat from Picton or 90 minutes from Mana.

At the northern end of Endeavour Inlet lies a rare Marlborough Sounds retreat where every day feels like a holiday. Surrounded by lush native bush, this five-bedroom home invites you to wake to the sound of tui on the deck and finish your evenings with glowworms lighting the pathway by the back door. It’s more than a home—it’s a lifestyle.

Arriving at the shared jetty, you’ll find a community boat shed and your own 10-metre mooring for easy access to the water. From here, a short stroll brings you to the front gate, where the sense of privacy and seclusion begins. You can then walk up the track to the large house, or use a quad bike—the choice is yours.

Life here flows effortlessly outdoors. The home sits among bush-clad hillsides with a wraparound deck designed for long summer evenings, morning coffees, or entertaining with friends against a backdrop of birdsong. Whether it’s kayaking from the beach, heading out fishing, or simply relaxing on the deck with a book, this property offers the best of Sounds living.

Inside, the house is warm, inviting, and built for gatherings. High ceilings, polished timber floors, and expansive glass doors flood the open-plan living area with natural light. The kitchen, dining, and lounge connect seamlessly, with a log burner and full insulation providing comfort through every season. With five double bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a separate laundry, there’s space for everyone—this is no ordinary bach, but a fully equipped family haven.

With a full chattel list included, moving in is easy. All you need is a chilly bin and your beach gear. When you feel like venturing out, both Ferneaux Lodge and Punga Cove Resort are just a short walk or bike ride away, offering dining, entertainment, and the warm hospitality the Sounds are famous for.

The current owners are ready for their next chapter, leaving an incredible opportunity for new custodians to create their own memories in this special place.
