About this house rental
Hebe House is a quaint three-bedroom holiday house at Manaroa, Clova Bay, deep in the middle of the Pelorus Sound. It’s the ideal getaway home for six, only 30 metres from the water and with breathtaking sea and mountain views. Hebe is a perfect retreat for those who enjoy fishing, swimming, walking, and relaxing.
The home is fully self-contained, clean, and comfortable and features a retro theme. All beds are made up, with fresh linen provided for every stay. Internet, Wi-Fi calling, and Digital TV are available. The shore and bays have mobile data reception, but not the house itself.
The windy and slow scenic drive from Havelock takes approximately 2 hours, while from Blenheim it takes about 2.5 hours. There are no shops in the area. The Hub Café is a wonderful midway stop, as is Portage Resort which offers a bar and restaurant.
From Havelock, boats and water taxis take about 50 to 70 minutes to reach Clova Bay. From Clova Bay, it takes a 25- to 40-minute boat ride to the outer Pelorus Reach coast and Cook Strait for excellent diving and fishing.
A boat launching jetty is located 200 metres down the road. Shore fishing is excellent, but kayak or boat fishing is even better! Signature catches include snapper, gurnard, blue cod (in season), kingfish, and more. (Jetty bait fishing – excellent for kids.)
Mooring: There is one registered mooring shared among three homes. Please enquire about availability when booking. Important: Always secure your boat to the mooring rope and not the thin buoy rope. For jetty pickups, call 027 579 8444 when leaving Havelock and again when you are 10 minutes away from Clova Bay.
From Clova Bay: Restaurants and Cafés: Ponga Cove (drive), The Portage Resort (drive ), TeRawa Resort (boat).
Please note:
No extra guests permitted.
No pets.
All rubbish must be taken out; there is a free skip at Portage and another on this side of Linkwater.
Due to distance from amenities, your host, Marion, will be available (next door) for any enquiries, help and emergencies.

This is the second time we have stayed at Manaroa but the first at Hebe House, What a perfect location. Nothing but views of Clova Bay. I just loved the indoors/ outdoor flow of the bi-fold doors. Even on a grey old day you still felt connected to the bay. Comfy, well equipped and oh so relaxing. Wifi good enough for teenager not to feel disconnected. Enjoyed SUPing, fishing and kayaking. Really appreciated Marion's load of an extra paddle when we lost ours.

What an amazing location to get away from the hustle and bustle and simply relax. Walks along the beach, fishing in the bay where the fish are plentiful and tasted very nice for dinner. I would recommend this location for anyone.
