Anakiwa 401 was one of the first houses to be built in the bay in 1926. We've renovated throughout to a high standard, yet maintained its historic charm and character. It is well-liked by guests for its homely feel and relaxed atmosphere. Located right by the sandy beach and at the end of the Queen Charlotte Track, its the ideal place for relaxing or doing as much activity as you like - walking, mountain biking, kayaking, swimming. With its central location, just 30 minutes by road from the Picton ferry, 20 minutes to Havelock 'Green-lipped Mussel Capital of the World' and 45 minutes to Blenheim and its famous Sauvignon Blanc vineyards and Omaka Air Museum, you can stay at Anakiwa 401 and easily explore and visit the beautiful Marlborough region, and return to peace and tranquility of the bush clad beach of Anakiwa in the evenings.
We thoroughly enjoy living in Anakiwa and its environs. It's relaxing yet if you want to be active, there are so many options - a perfect balance.
We would like to think our guests leave Anakiwa 401 relaxed and feeling like they have really discovered a magical part of New Zealand. By waking to the dawn chorus of native NZ birds such as tuis, bell birds, fantails, wood pigeons that frequent our gardens, enjoying a walk through the beech forest at the end of the Queen Charlotte Track to the safe sandy beach of Davies Bay, going kayaking on the Sound where you may see sea birds, penguins, seals or dolphins, to listening to the moreporks and seeing the glowworms in the evenings, whilst admiring the amazing stars of the night sky.
