Welcome to Punga Cove! Experience clear sparkling water, native New Zealand bush and simple tranquillity. Set amongst stunning scenery in the magnificent waterways of New Zealand's Marlborough Sounds, Punga Cove is the perfect retreat for people wanting to relax in style. Explore the turquoise waters in our sea kayaks or visit nearby islands and cruise the sounds in search of playful Dusky Dolphins. Experience the leafy wonders of the Queen Charlotte Track or catch fish in the bay. Join an outer sound fishing charter or take a gourmet picnic lunch and a bottle of champagne to a secluded beach nearby. Enhance your holiday's relaxation with a meal in our fully licensed restaurant situated to give breathtaking views of the entire Endeavour Inlet. Have time out at the Boatshed Cafe & Bar on the jetty. Enjoy your coffee watching birdlife, fish swimming by and the boats which come and go. If you're looking to spend time in a different environment, away from the usual daily pressures - look no further than Punga Cove.

Autumn at Punga Cove 🍂

Some days it’s all blue skies and glassy water, other days the Sounds roll in with a soft morning mist… and we love it both ways.

This is the season to slow down, breathe it in, and enjoy the quiet beauty of the Marlborough Sounds.
