Te Mahoerangi Eco Lodge is situated in Nydia Bay,
Pelorus Sound, Marlborough Sounds. This beautiful stretch of water extends out from the small town of Havelock. We are accessible via the Nydia Track or by Boat. There is no road access.
Tramping the Nydia Track
Southern end - Kaiuma Bay
Take the short ride on a Water Taxi from Havelock to Shag Point; for operators see bottom right. From here one can walk the track in to Nydia Bay.
There is also a car park at the start of the track in Kaiuma bay. From Havelock, follow State Highway 6 towards Nelson for 12km, then turn right on to Daltons Road (unsealed and narrow) for another 21km.

Here the best option is to take the Shuttle provided by the 'Bluemoon Lodge' in Havelock: phone 03 574 2212 or visit the Bluemoon website - for transport back round to Havelock.
To the carpark at Duncan Bay; from Havelock follow SH6 towards Nelson and turn right just north of Rai Valley. It is 27 km from here to Tennyson Inlet. The carpark is at the road end in Duncan Bay.
