Mahau Sound Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

A coastal landscape with a bay, green hills, and a clear sky.
A river winding through a lush green valley with mountains in the background.
A coastal landscape with a turquoise sea, green hills, and a clear sky.
A coastal landscape with a forested mountain, a calm sea, and clear skies.
A mountainous landscape with dense green forests and a calm turquoise lake.
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).

"Great place to stay, right in the middle of the main street ! We have stayed here several times now and the Hosts are amazing, so friendly and helpful with local knowledge. Rooms are older but spotlessly clean, and wonderfully quiet at night 👍"
