Located on the spectacular Queen Charlotte Drive and set in a picturesque and idyllic setting you will find Moana Haven Bed and Breakfast. You will enjoy a sea view from the bedroom and lounge area. Tea and coffee making facilities available. Daily Continental breakfast is self-service and can be enjoyed inside or alfresco. Relax, read a book, take in the beautiful views from the sun-drenched deck, enjoy a leisurely stroll around the gardens while listening to the native birdsong, or take a day trip to explore the nearby Marlborough attractions. Wherever possible, Moana Haven strive to use sustainable products and are environmentally conscious. With the waterfront and Queen Charlotte Sounds Link Pathway only a 5 minute walk away there is opportunity to use our complimentary Kayaks and Mountain bikes. Due to the recent storm damage the Link Pathway is currently undergoing repair. Ample free parking. Unlimited free VDSL WiFi available
Dean and Debbie live onsite (downstairs) and warmly invite you to enjoy their slice of Paradise with them. Having lived in the Marlborough region for over 30 years and shifting to the Marlborough Sounds in 2020, we look forward to sharing the natural beauty and tranquility with you. We enjoy meeting people, and it is our pleasure welcoming you and ensuring your stay is an enjoyable experience. Debbie is a keen gardener and Dean enjoys getting out in the boat fishing- espicially when it's a successful trip.
