Mahau Sound
A campsite or “bach” with views of stunning blue waters and emerald hills. Sounds great? Think Mahau Sound for your next NZ holiday.

Mahau Sound sits at the heart of the jaw-droppingly beautiful Marlborough Sounds region of the South Island. Mahau Sound may be remote, but remember the creature comforts of Havelock are just one sound away. Sample local fat green-lipped mussels to go with a glass of Marlborough white and you may never want to leave. Park your motor home at the freedom camp site in Double Bay or rent a classic Kiwi “bach” (that’s a small holiday home).

This is more of a backpackers vibe. We booked a whole room for a family of 4 (it had 3 bunk beds and a queen bed).
