Queen Charlotte Sound House | Idyllic Dryden Bay - a complete Sounds experience

3 Bedroom House in Queen Charlotte Sound, Dryden Bay

A perfect spot to have a wine on the deck as the sun goes down - or if you are an early bird, watch the fantastic sun rise (pictured).
Part of the charm of Dryden Bay is it's sandy beach and wonderful bird life. The property is boat access only. Water taxis take guests to the property from Picton on regular scheduled services - or you can hire a small water taxi from the Picton waterfront for a larger group or travel in by your own boat. A mooring is available as part of the rental.
The house is a comfortable, well equipped, sunny home which offers an ideal retreat from hustle and bustle. The large deck gives the opportunity to dine outside, sunbathe or just chill. There is fantastic wild life all around the property and a lawn for children and adults to play on! There is a wharf to arrive and depart from and the mooring should you bring your own boat is close to wharf area.
Great for families, small groups or a quiet weekend away. Dryden Bay is a Fishing paradise, located close to the scallop area and great dives spots.You do not have to leave the Bay for those that do not have boats as there is great fishing to be had in the Bay area - you do not have to travel far to catch a fish for dinner so remember to pack your fishing rod and bait! There are kayaks for guests to use.
Close boat rides away are Ships Cove, the starting point for the Queen Charlotte Track, excellent picnic areas and historical land sites . Motuara Bird Sanctaury is also a short boat ride away and there are plenty of local walks available.
If you feel like dinner out you could take the water taxi or your own boat to one of the local resorts nearby.
The beach is flat and sandy, very safe for children and families. An easy launching spot for a dingy or kayak. The wharf provides a great place to fish with a hand line or
for children and adults to dive and jump from.
Everything is on your doorstep - the hardest part is deciding what to do next!
A great place to have fun or just chill ..... you have the choice!

Summary: Myself partner and friends had the best week at Dryden Bay. The batch was exactly as described and perfect for our group. Clean tidy and great internet access - not that you’ll want to when surrounded by such beautiful scenery! Excellent docking and mooring. And the sealife in the bay was first class - not just many fish, we saw sting rays dolphins and even a seahorse! We spent four days exploring the sounds and caught many varied species. Couldn’t recommend more - we can’t wait to go back! My only suggestion for the host is a clothes horse :) Thank you!

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay at this property. The house was very clean and well equipped with everything one should need. Owners communication exceptional. The location is an ideal spot sheltered from most prevailing wind with a lovely beach and very functional jetty. We loved the bird life around the house and the cheeky Weka family kept us amused. Fabulous fishing close by. Easy boat access to Furneoux Lodge for lunch. highly recommend this property.
