Bora castle.
Cottage with stunning sea views.
This property has spectacular views of the entrance to the Pelorus Sounds. Sit back and watch the recreational boats, mussel boats and barges come and go through the channel of the estuary. This fully refurbished warm modern two-bedroom cottage with sea views from every room is sure to impress. The main hub of the house, kitchen, lounge (split level) to dining area is open plan. The kitchen consists of a microwave, induction cooktop, full-size fridge-freezer, and pod coffee machine. Some essential pantry items, crockery, cutlery, etc provided. There is a heat pump/air conditioner unit and a 40-inch TV with Netflix & Neon to keep you entertained. Free Wifi. Both bedrooms have En-suites with hairdryers and towels supplied. Bedroom 1 has a King-size bed (also split level.) Bedroom 2 also has a King-size bed that can be separated into two singles if required. All quality bed linen is supplied. A lounge sofa pull-out bed can also be made up into a double bed if required. Luxury touches and thoughtful attention to detail can be found everywhere, from the Nespresso machine with complimentary capsules in the kitchen to the gorgeous toiletries in the sparkling new bathrooms. There is a BBQ for your use plus a BBQ table to sit out and enjoy the sunny Marlborough weather. 3x kayaks are available including adult life jackets. Attached small laundry with a tub & washing machine. Ample off-street parking for your car and a small trailer boat plus lock-up bike storage. From the cottage, it's a 1-minute drive to the boat ramp or town that has a four square, restaurants, cafes, a chemist and a laundrette. Havelock has so much to offer, walking/cycling tracks, mailboat boat trips, fishing charters, etc and it is only 20 mins drive to the Marlborough winery region, so you just won't want to leave! My husband and I are just behind the cottage at the main house in case you have any questions or worries but otherwise, the cottage is self-contained and we respect our guest's privacy.

A magical spot, with water views, including of the channel entrance.
The home was beautifully presented and comfortable. We really loved our stay there and would recommend to others.
This is a lovely home with a great set up. En suites in each bedroom along with a lovely view. This is a top notch stay home with everything you need for a relaxing stay. Cheers
We loved our stay at Bora Castle. It was our second visit and we love the thoughtful details, View and convenience of the location just a few minutes walk from the Main Street, ice creams, Four Square and the Mussel Pot.
A great place for our two night stay in Havelock. Everything we needed was provided and it is a very comfortable and spacious cottage. Great location - just a short walk to town and the mail boat wharf. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the region. No hesitation in recommending Bora Castle
Amazing property, meticulously clean, lovely decor, and stunning views. Perfect for 2 couples with each bedroom having its own ensuite. We loved our stay here and I'm sure you will also
This was a perfect spot to relax for a few days! Bora Castle had everything we needed and was an adorable place to stay. Everything was clean and fresh and exceeded our expectations! Stunning views from the cottage and Jan and Steve were super friendly. Thanks for a truly amazing stay xx
Stunning views over the water and only a short walk into town. Place is all as advertised and in great condition. Jan was prompt in responding to any questions. Would certainly stay again!
This is an old cottage that has been beautifully remodeled. We had a lovely week long stay with our little children. It is a short walk into town and it was an excellent base camp for us to make day excursions to explore the sounds. Pelorus bridge was our favorite swimming spot. We would definitely stay again!
This place is absolutely stunning. Private, modern but cosy and had everything you could need. The hosts were very responsive and helpful and we had a wonderful stay. This was definitely one of the nicest places we have stayed in New Zealand and I wish we could have stayed longer.

Beautiful views and great location. Hosts were very friendly and communication was really good, especially as our flights were delayed. The cottage is bright and has all amenities. Very clean and tidy.
We loved Bora Castle! The view of the Pelorus Sound was simply magnificent. Place was easy to find, communications with Jan were easy and thoughtful, location is close to town, beds were comfy, and decor was charming. Would love to stay again some day!
A beautiful warm comfortable property, two great bedrooms with ensuite, everything you need, and if you need something else the owners are very obliging (thanks for getting s sieve, Steve). Best shower in any property I have aver stayed. The views are stunning and the area very pleasant. Recommend the Pelorus Mailboat while you are in the area.
We found Bora Castle to be comfortable and well equipped. The views from the house are wonderful and change every day. The beds were very comfortable and the showers were fab. I would happily stay again.
Location was great. Nice view of the tidal Bay. Easy to walk into town for dinner. Twenty or so minutes to wineries. House was comfortable for the 4 adults.
Fantastic views overlooking hills and bay. Super clean batch with everything you'll need including kayaks. Walking distance to town..Hosts very helpful and frindly. We love to come back next time we are in the area. Highly recommend stay.
We had the best time here. Beautiful view, lovely modern and clean. The owners stay behind the property but they are great and not invasive at all. It was absolutely perfect for a anniversary get away. Loved it all. Couldnt have been better.
We loved staying here. We were 2 couples. We loved that each bedroom had ots owm ensuite. The home was rxtremely clean and had a very well stocked kitchen (dishes, pots and pans, serving bowls, utensils) for preparing meals. We used the kayaks and loved it. Check in and check out wad a breeze. We would definitely stay here again! Fabulous and close to many great vineyards! Thank you hosts!
Can’t complain about this lovely place. This is a beautifully renovated cottage with stunning views right on the edge of town. Close to everything you need. Havelock is a lovely township with very friendly locals. The hosts, Jan and Steve, were lovely to deal with and very helpful. Would highly recommend.
This was our first real stay location in NZ. What a great way to start. The view from all rooms and areas was perfect. Very warm and comfortable.
So close to town for a short stroll. Thanks to our hosts for such a great start to our holiday from overseas.
