A spacious coastal holiday home in Penzance, Marlborough Sounds, NZ

Experience Penzance

Whether you want to relax and soak up the views and sea air, or prefer activities of a nautical or outdoor nature, Lanza Retreat offers this and much more.

Lanza Retreat is located at the water's edge and has its own private jetty and two moorings. Established gardens ensure privacy from passers by and guests can take advantage of several prime positions to enjoy the views or a bit of quiet time.

Spacious Living on the Coast

Our comfortable holiday home features plenty of large windows so that whichever room you’re in you can always enjoy a stunning backdrop.

The open plan living and dining area features large windows and doors that lead out to expansive covered wraparound decks. Inside you’ll find the living area set out with sofas and chairs ready to welcome you after a busy day fishing or exploring the shoreline and native bush.

The kitchen comes fully equipped with everything you need to self-cater during your stay.  All you need to bring is your own food and personal toiletries.

For Families or Couples

As well as a queen-size bed, the main bedroom enjoys the luxury of an en-suite shower room.

The second bedroom features another queen size bed,  while the third room has two comfortable singles. A child’s day bed is located in the foyer area along with a reading/tv nook to enjoy the selection of paperbacks or chill watching a dvd.

The family bathroom is decorated in calming neutral tones, and features shower, WC, basin, and heated towel rail – because getting out of the shower and wrapping yourself in a warm and fluffy towel is a simple luxury that makes a lot of difference!

“We had a absolutely beautiful stay at Lanza last week, even though it was winter weather we were snug and warm with fireplace and furnishings. Great fishing out from Tennyson Inlet and lots of fun handling the kayak to our mooring. Couldn’t ask for anything more from an awesome holiday home ..”
