Welcome to Hopewell
Welcome to Hopewell, an award winning self-catering lodge set on a superb, natural coastline on the water’s edge of the Kenepuru Sound, within the magnificent Marlborough Sounds, on the northern tip of South Island, New Zealand.
Surrounded by native forest and turquoise waters, Hopewell represents the perfect retreat. Our Marlborough Sounds accommodation offers a variety of fun activities for everyone as well as secluded spots for relaxation. Explore the Kenepuru Sound by kayak, fishing boat, paddle board or sail boat. Laze on our secluded beach, hang in a hammock, have a massage, meditate through yoga, walk or bike the trails, collect your own fresh shellfish straight from the bay, or visit our resident glow worms.
It’s a little piece of heaven…and we can’t wait to share it with you!

Our Activities
Bush Walks
Backpackers, photographers and naturalists, right on our doorstep are several great rain forest walks that take in scenic reserves with fine specimens of native trees and birds. Take the Hopewell Loop Track to the 300m contour for outstanding views of the sounds or enjoy a days walk on the Queen Charlotte Track.
