Private Sanctuary
Overall we had a good stay at this property. The facilities are very basic as listed and very limited power. It's a really nice place to get away from it all if you want to enjoy the sound of birds and be on the water.

True Break Away
The property is private and just a little cut off from the world. As a family we love it. This was our 6th visit. We enjoy the beauty of the place and live a simple life for a week. The shower fridge etc all work well on gas so we are quite comfortable.

So Amazing
Water Pistoll is such a mint place to stay and unwind and relax, we had such a good time. The proximity to the outter sounds was just what we wanted as we went to ship cove, Motuara Island and Blumine Island. We caught enough fish for a decent feed, the kids had heaps of fun in the Kayaks and the dingy. Our time at Water Pistoll went way to fast, so we will definitely be back, next time for a little longer. We cant thank yous enough for letting us use your sweet bach as a holiday destination.

The Perfect "Mini-Moon"
We came to this batch as a mini-moon as we just had our destination wedding in Marlborough. This place was perfect as it was 'off-the-grid' and allowed us to unwind and relax to decompress from the perfect wedding we had. We loved living basic, having access by boat only and feeling like it was our own little world. The outdoor shower is a favourite, and fishing off the deck and catching dinner was the icing on the cake. Highly recommend!

Pistol Bach
What an awesome spot and home, we absolutely loved it. The house is such an awesome set up to relax and enjoy the surrounding area with great boat access via the large private jetty. We hope to return again in the future.

Excellent Bach
We had an excellent stay at the Pistol's bach. We had plenty of fine dining. The weather didn't totally play the game, but as the blub suggests - with the fire on and a glass of wine in hand - the view was still spectacular. Great proximity to Blumine for walks, and Punga Cove for pizza and beer, Cheers

Idyllic Marlborough Sounds Spot
Wow what a spot. Secluded location in a beautiful part of the sounds. Private beach and wharf. Modern bach but basic facilities, not that we minded. We’d love to return

Excellent stay with great weather.
The property was exactly what we were looking for, tidy, remote, with everything you needed and plenty of activities (fishing, snorkeling, kayaking and walks). We'd recommend the hot tub which takes a bit of an effort to get all the wood from the forest (job for the kids!) and heating up, but well worth it, particularly on a clear night!

Exceptional spot!
10/10 spot! So greatful to be able to stay in this beautiful spot and take our dog too. We saw dolphins, a seal, sting rays and other wildlife. Best way to start a new year jumping from the wharf into the biolumenscent plankton and then having our first coffee of 2022 by the ocean. We absolutely loved it and hope to come back again. Thanks for sharing your beautiful space.

what a way to unwind
We made great use of the wood fired hot tub, With cold plunges off the wharf. feasting on crayfish and other local fish species daily. Cosy nights around the fire, That stimulated some great conversations. I would certianly love to spend more time at this batch.
