Anakiwa 401 - Self-Catering Guesthouse enjoys a waterfront location and is situated at the southern end of the Queen Charlotte Track in the delightful Thompson Bay at Anakiwa, Marlborough Sounds.

We are a small, homely, beachfront self-catering accommodation provider in the Marlborough Sounds, offering a combination of the conveniences of backpacker lodge accommodation such as full kitchen facilities, dining and lounge areas, with that of the homely, warmth and friendly hospitality of a Bed & Breakfast. The quality affordable accommodation we provide our guests consists of: a private Self-contained Apartment with a view of the bay 2 sunny Double rooms (one with ensuite facilities) and a comfortable Twin/Share room.
Built in circa 1926, it was one of the first houses in Anakiwa's bay. Originally, built for the Estate’s Farm Manager, the house went on to be used as the local school and later, was owned by well-known New Zealand journalist and author Don Grady, before the house welcomed its first guests as Anakiwa Backpackers in 1995.

Renovated to a high standard whilst retaining character and historic charm, Anakiwa 401 is the perfect accommodation for resting & relaxing after walking or mountain biking the Queen Charlotte Track. Or stay with us for a while – surrounded by beautiful scenery & native gardens and enjoy shorter day walks, swimming, biking, kayaking, boat cruises, water-skiing, fishing, marine life, native birds & bush & glow worms. New Zealand’s largest winemaking region, Marlborough is close enough to enjoy as well.
