Ngakuta Bay

Ngakuta Bay

We recently had a family holiday at Ngakuta Bay in the Marlborough Sounds.  We booked a house on book-a-bach and arrived to find that the house was twice as good as we had expected with private access to the beach, directly on the link walkway and with great views from all the living areas in the house.  

We had a great week enjoying kayaking out on the water, walking and mountain biking on both the link walkway and Queen Charlotte tracks and just relaxing and enjoying the peace and beauty.  I hadn't been doing much photography recently so it was great to get out every day with my camera.

Sunset - on the day we arrived.

Peaceful and Oh so beautiful.
