Welcome to Hopewell – where relaxation meets adventure in the heart of Kenepuru Sound!

Hopewell isn’t your average lodge – it’s a cozy, award-winning, self-catering haven that feels more like a plush retreat. Nestled on the water’s edge, in a natural environment of gardens and forest, offering comfort, relaxation, and unbeatable value. Now, they’re not just about the comfy beds and stunning sea views, Mike and Lynley, your hosts, go the extra mile, serving up killer espresso, gourmet pizzas, and other homemade goodies to satisfy your taste buds.

Take your pick from the comfy double, twin, or family rooms, or opt for the fully self-contained cottage – it’s your home away from home. With king beds and top-notch linen, private bathrooms, and decks with those killer sea views.

The guest kitchen is like a chef’s dream, fully equipped with sharp knives, quality cooking gear and plenty of fridge and freezer space. Outdoor cooking is also an option with a fantastic undercover BBQ area.

With a full stomach it’s time to relax but you will need to choose between the luxurious guest lounge with books galore, the hammock or the spa located on the watersedge.

There are plenty of options to get you moving to; double and single kayaks, SUP boards, mountain bikes, dinghies, and fishing gear are all yours for the taking. Want to try your luck with snapper fishing? They’ve got you covered right off the beach.

Feeling like a round of golf? Nopera Bay Golf Club is just down the road, and they’ve got transport sorted. Oh, and did we mention they’ve got high-speed, unlimited WIFI and stellar cell phone reception?

Getting there

It’s a breeze when you set off from Havelock Marina. There are moorings available – and their concrete jetty is accessible at most tides, and you are welcome to use the kayaks to get to and from the shore.
