Paradise near Picton
Whatamonga Home Stay is a unique bed and breakfast experience located in the Marlborough Sounds, New Zealand.
Whatamonga was purpose-built to provide two separate guest apartments and
two guestrooms with private entrance on the ground floor of the main house. All offer private sunny decks overlooking
the picturesque waters of the Sounds.
Set in idyllic bush with panoramic views over Whatamonga Bay and Queen Charlotte Sound, the accommodation offers seclusion and direct access to the beach, yet Picton is only 9 kilometres drive away.
Water activities abound, including swimming at the beach, fishing from the

Set in beautiful Waikawa Bay, you can watch ferries,boats and fish
splashing below you. Our private suite with balcony to the sea is
magnificent with Marlborough Sounds environment. We stayed 2 nights
and found it a haven for relaxation and appreciating this wonderful
setting.
Twilight is filled with the sounds of wildelife and birdlife,while
you watch the reflections on the water. Pure magic. Good beds and
extremely friendly staff.
Shasha B, Australia - September, 2013. TripAdvisor Review
It's difficult to add any more superlatives to what other reviewers
have said. Whatamonga was the second homestay of our trip, and that
set the bar extremely high! Colette was helpfulness personified, and
we would loved to have stayed forever. We couldn't fault a thing if
we tried. Thank you Colette for a wonderful stay!
Sheryl M, United Kingdom - May 2013. TripAdvisor Review
Whatamonga Homestay is just beautiful as you can see from the
photos. The stand-alone rooms are very clean and spacious and have a
lovely balcony. The rooms in the house are on a separate level with
their own external entry.
There is a small fridge and microwave as well as a small bar sink in
the freestanding units. Dishes are provided for snacks but no
cooking facilities inside the rooms. A grill is available outside on
the large deck for grilling. Two friendly kitties live here but are
not allowed in the rooms. Good continental breakfast was included.
Colette was an excellent host, very knowledgeable about the area but
not intrusive as some B & B hosts are. It was a delight to hear
about the area and options for activities and dining at breakfast
with her. I feel lucky the place was free during our trip so we
could stay here.
The location is about 10 minutes away from Picton on a small windy
road, so drive slow or you may miss the driveway.
