St. Omer's Hideout: Love At First Sight Above the Kenepuru Sound
UN GIORNO A ST. OMER'S
Quando ti svegli il primo giorno, prenditi un momento per goderti il silenzio. St. La posizione remota di Omer Hideout è benedetta da una calma profonda e naturale. Ogni tanto, forse 10 o 15 volte al giorno, sentirai una macchina che si snoda lungo Kenepuru Road, ma è un suono distante.
(Anche se è remoto, St. Il nascondiglio di Omer non è un luogo per musica ad alto volume o feste. Il suono viaggia qui e vogliamo preservare la quiete ed essere buoni vicini.)
Due delle camere da letto - una con un letto queen-size e una con un letto completo - offrono viste spettacolari su St. Omer Bay e Kenepuru Accesso audio e balcone. La terza camera è adatta ai bambini con letti a castello e senza balcone o vista sull'acqua.
Il bagno in comune, nel tipico stile neozelandese, è dotato di servizi igienici (gabinetto) in una stanza e lavandino e doccia in una stanza separata.
Le foto ti aiutano a capire quanto sia abbagliante la vista, ma vederla di persona è tutta un'altra storia. Trascorri alcune ore sul ponte avvolgente con un bicchiere di vino locale, cieli blu sopra e acqua tono gioiello sotto, e sarai nuovo. ��
Apri le porte del patio a scomparsa nella zona giorno e lascia entrare la fresca brezza mattutina. Prepara un caffè stampa francese e cucina alcune uova locali nella cucina moderna.
Nota a margine: le uova sono l'unica cosa che puoi ottenere localmente. Non ci sono negozi o stazioni di rifornimento in Kenepuru Sound, quindi dovrai fare scorta di generi alimentari prima di arrivare qui (o farli consegnare). Forniamo alcuni prodotti secchi tra cui asciugamani di carta e fazzoletti di carta igienica, ma potresti volerne portarli con te nel caso.
Nonostante la posizione remota della casa, c'è un numero sorprendente di cose da fare nelle vicinanze. Visita della città in taxi acqueo. Visite alle fattorie di cozze. Gite esplorative sulla Mailboat. Charter a vela. Kayak, pesca, mountain bike (e molti altri verbi). Escursionismo sulla pista Queen Charlotte. Golf a Nopera. Voli panoramici via Pelorus Air. E puoi concludere tutto con una cena e un cocktail al Raetihi Lodge, a soli 4 km di distanza. ??Prova a tornare in tempo per il tramonto sul balcone. Ma se ti manca, non ti preoccupare: le albe sono altrettanto impressionanti e ti aspetteranno al mattino.
ARRIVARE QUI
St. Il nascondiglio di Omer si trova a 3 ore di auto da Nelson, a 2 ore di auto (o un giro in barca di 25 minuti) da Havelock. Oppure prendi il traghetto da Wellington a Picton, quindi prosegui fino in fondo. Vedi questo post sul nostro blog per ulteriori informazioni.
INFORMAZIONI CRITICHE: LEGGERE PRIMA DI PRENOTARE!
Questa casa è tutt'altro che tipica. �� fuori dalla rete, alimentato a molla e utilizza un generatore per l'alimentazione. Il suo vialetto è ripido, così ripido che, quando incontrammo la gente del posto, dissero: "Oh, sei la gente che ha comprato la casa con il vialetto." Prima di prenotare, assicurati di essere d'accordo con quanto segue:
Per salire sul vialetto è necessario un veicolo a 4 ruote motrici. Puoi anche parcheggiare in fondo al vialetto e camminare con le valigie ... ma ancora una volta è abbastanza ripido.
Otterrai circa 7-8 ore di energia al giorno dal generatore (il generatore riscalda l'acqua; la pressione dell'acqua qui è fantastica!).
Il calore proviene da una stufa a legna.
Il raffreddamento avviene tramite finestre aperte (no aria condizionata o altro raffreddamento).
Non c'è WiFi.
Non ci sono attrezzi per bambini.
Nessun negozio di alimentari nelle vicinanze, quindi devi fare scorta in anticipo.
La ricompensa per tutto questo, tuttavia, è il silenzio di solitudine e privacy e le viste sulla collina che ricorderete per gli anni a venire.
Questa casa vacanze si trova a Saint Omer e vanta una posizione strategica in campagna. Kenepuru Sounds e Pelorus Sound sono due tappe fondamentali per gli amanti della natura. Tra le altre attrazioni della zona spiccano Lochmara Lodge e Lochmara Lodge Arts Centre. Anche Edwin Fox Museum e Waitohi Recreational Reserve meritano una visita.

What a stunning location! The peaceful, remote setting made it so easy to switch off, relax, and reconnect with nature. We loved the fireplace, and the fact that it's dog-friendly made our stay even more special.

Beautiful hideaway
We loved this property. It is in a remote location away from it all. The driveway is certainly a four-wheel drive-only situation, even for locals. The view is outstanding. Everything is on hand at the property, and the property manager was quick to respond when we had a slight problem.I'd highly recommend this for anyone who wants a few days off grid enjoying nature in a beautiful location.

What a stunning location and definitely one of my favourite spot in the Sounds! Great safe swimming beach, lovely neighbourhood and man, the view - just amazing. We loved this cosy, comfy place and would love to come back!
Very good communication and infos of the place, easy check-in! Booking of water taxi and organising everything for a weeks' stay was easy - no probs at all. The driveway is steep and bringing the luggage up and down was a bit of a mission but definitely worth it! Thanks Beth for this wonderful experience!

Lovely spot and great communication!
We had a fantastic time. The host is an excellent communicator and responded to any questions relatively quickly. The only time there was any delay was when they were waiting to hear from other parties (e.g., cleaners). The house was well supplied and had magical views. St Omer Bay was nice walk from the house and a lovely beach to spend the day at. Hope to return another time.

Remote and beautiful and well appointed
The place is remote and fabulous with a steep gravel driveway and set far above the road for noiseless nights of stargazing. It requires a little bit of off grid savvy but nothing even this 60 year old New Yorker couldn’t learn in seconds. The view is absolutely stunning, the house is quite comfortable. Very comfortable beds, spotless, shower, washing machine, beautiful, wounding, deck, Thoughtful touches as well, kitchen with small walkin pantry was clean and well-equipped. Surrounded by lush, native bush, and expensive view of the sounds with swimming just down the road at the beach, hiking in either direction up and down the road, this place was a real winner. Communicating with Beth was fast easy and informative, I really love this place.

This is a stunning location. It’s very remote so be prepared for quiet days and hardly seeing another person. The views are amazing. We chose to arrive by plane which was great considering the roads were all closed, but it was so worth the scenery from the air. The house has a simple set up, but had everything we needed. Beth was really helpful, despite being remote from the location she was able to help us deal with the logistics of our stay with unexpected bad weather. When we had no way to get our groceries, the locals treated us as one of them and were only too happy to help us in any way they could. Thanks for a lovely stay.

We enjoyed a very relaxing week in this stunningly beautiful place, located within natural bush, with little sound other than the song of Tuis, Bellbirds and other native birds. The sense of isolation and simplicity of life made this a very peaceful experience. The house was modern, well maintained and provided all our needs. The nearby St Omer beach is very beautiful, calm, and safe for swimming. The walk down to the beach is steep, which we viewed as good exercise, but some people would find it difficult. We chatted to a few local people, who were very friendly. Possibly the most relaxing holiday we have ever had.

Beautiful spot in paradise - we had a lovely stay but could not get out due to bad floodings
We loved our stay in St Omer - it was a proper hideaway. The property was well maintained and equipped with all that is needed for a comfortable stay. Beautiful fireplace with everything provided. Plus absolutely amazing views and perfect for exploring! Unfortunately, we had massive trouble getting out due to the bad rain as the road is very prone to slips and washouts in bad weather...

The house is situated in a beautiful area, very quiet and - as the photos show - has an amazing view. It is well stocked, warm and comfortable. The owner provided really detailed and thoughtful information about accessing the property as well as walks around the area and much much more. This was very much appreciated. Thank you.

Stunning location to get away from it all
Clean, comfortable cottage with amazing views. Great place to relax and get away from it all for a few days. I loved walking on the beach and swimming in the Sound. Come prepared for the long, but beautiful, drive (two hours from Linkwater) and steep driveway. I really enjoyed trying out the Aeropress and went straight to Blenheim and bought one myself!

We are so happy to have found this little gem and had the perfect holiday. The house and the outside Verandah with its stunning views is a real suntrap and we had the most relaxing time. Being able to bring our beloved dog on holiday has been extra special and we went swiwmming in the bay most days. Our daughter and her partner joined us for a couple of nights and the house easily accommodated 4 adults with plenty of outside /inside spaces to move about. It's a 30-40min walk to the lodge/ pop-up restaurant (only open during the day) up the road . We had a wine and fresh mussels and relaxed in the sun(dog also welcome outside)and decided to return a few days later by car for an affogato and cake. Beth has been fantastic and a responsive and helpful communicator prior to our holiday and thus we were well organized with a box of fresh food delivered to the mail box halfway through our 10 day stay. The drive is definitely steep and a challenge if you don't have a 4WD but was welcome exercise for me and must have been a little fitness boost as we didn't think twice about it after a few days. This was easily one of my favourite holidays! Thank you Beth, for making this little slice of paradies accessible to others. My heart is full .

St. Omer Hide Away is a wonderful spot in one of NZ’s most beautiful places. The house is clean and cozy, with all the needed amenities available. Nested in the bush, you wake up to the song of bellbirds. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the view. But it’s also a short walk to a (pretty much) private beach, perfect for a swim. We were also welcome to bring our 2 dogs, so we could enjoy our holidays with them! There are many things to do in the area, but make sure to have a chat with Gary from Pelorus tours, as he will be able to take you on an amazing boat trip around the sounds! So make yourself a favour and pay St. Omer a visit!

Kitchen well equipped except for dishwasher.Only complaints re: cleanliness - shower had black mould & a mouldy bath mat which was gross.Quite a lot of dead insects on floors & spiderwebs with dead flies in them inside the house. A lot of dust, hair etc. around bedside tables.

We regained our composure, found peace and stillness (we moved with the tides, enjoying the jetty for high tide swims and the beach for low tide walks, right over to the derelict ship), rose to challenges (the driveway was achievable, but notable! we managed the state of the ice and consumption of food with joint task teams) and enjoyed each other immensely. St Omers hideout did inspire love at first sight but we were still enamoured at departure, and that is what we found most impressive.Thanks for sharing this lovely space.
