Description
This lovely cottage is eco friendly. There is no electricity so we use a wetback to heat the water and have a gas fridg and stove. There is also a kettle barbeque. If you like electric lighting in the evening we have a generator, although most people prefer candles.
Our birdlife is wonderful. We have a friendly weka who will feed from your hand, beautiful tuis and bellbirds, quail and fantails, waxeyes, sparrows and woodpigeons. Our resident penguins can be somewhat noisy at times but with gentle persuasion can be encouraged to vacate!
Grocery deliveries can be arranged by ringing the local supermarket. Cougarline makes 4 trips to and from the Bay of Many Coves daily, during the summer season.
We fish from the end of the jetty and also from the dinghy and also have a plentiful supply of blue mussels on the rocks around the beach.
We have the occasional sighting of dolphins, eagle rays and seals.
Sunhaven is half an hour by boat from Picton.
The cottage has lovely sun in the afternoons so that is the time to swim and relax.

Reviews
“Lovely spot, a true sun haven. If you want to get away from it all, this is the place. Wildlife, fresh air and the simple existence! 7 year old son loved rockpooling and exploring. Just what we wanted.”
“My 11 year old son and I had a great, relaxing and wonderful time in the batch. It’s such a lovely and charming house, romantic and with a stunning view. “

“A fantastic spot. We had a lovely calm family fortnight soaking up the views and birdsong. Beautiful outlook from main bedroom and living area, very easy to live in. Being off the grid and off the road added to the peacefulness. Surrounded by bush with tui, bellbirds and tame weka. Own beach 30 secs from bach ideal for swimming and jetty jumping. Owner bent over backwards to make sure everything went smoothly for us. Highly recommended.”
