“We had a really peaceful night at the cabin. We were surrounded by bird song and crickets chirping and got to enjoy a beautiful sunset. The cabin enjoys all day sun and gets toasty warm in the day. There’s a small heater to take the chill off...”

Mahakipaoa Cabin was at the turn of the century a gold mining cabin. It was relocated and rebuilt on our property in the 80's, and extensively renovated in 2025 while still trying to preserve its original character and charm. Mahakipaoa Cabin is now permanently located on our 3.4 ha lifestyle block overlooking the tidal Mahakipaoa arm, bordered by paddocks containing our many farm pets, chickens, ducks, sheep and cows. Pets are only able to come and stay with prior approval. Directly across from the cabin are our beehives. The bees won't bother you, but if you are allergic to bees, please bring your medication. Mahakipaoa Cabin is rustic and charming, cosy and warm, and we look forward to welcoming you to come and enjoy our slice of paradise here in the Marlborough Sounds.
We are a family of four living in our main house just a short walk past Mahakipaoa Cabin. We will leave you to enjoy the peace and quiet the cabin offers, but reach out if you need anything from us.
Linkwater is a small rural area with a great local pub, a service station and access to both the Queen Charlotte Sounds and Keneperu Sounds
