Discover A Secluded Seaside Retreat At The Unique Arapawa Blue Pearls Farm In Marlborough
Arapawa Blue Pearls Accommodation is a truly unique seaside retreat, tucked into a sheltered bay on remote Arapaoa Island in the Marlborough Sounds. This peaceful waterfront lodge is the only place in New Zealand where you can stay right beside a working blue pearl farm. Completely off-grid and wonderfully private, it offers an intimate connection to the natural rhythms of the sea, with dolphins passing by, stingrays gliding beneath the jetty, and fish breaking the surface in the morning light.
It is a place where nature takes the lead and time slows to a gentle, restorative pace. Arrival is an experience in itself, with helicopter access landing just metres from the water’s edge, alongside a private jetty and direct beach access overlooking the Tory Channel. The setting is designed to provide complete seclusion, allowing guests to disconnect from the modern world and reconnect with the pristine environment of the Marlborough Sounds, surrounded by lush hills and clear blue waters.
Your hosts, the Radon family, have cultivated pearls and protected this pristine environment for generations, welcoming guests with warm hospitality and deep local knowledge that makes every stay feel personal and meaningful. Their commitment to sustainability and conservation is evident in every aspect of the lodge, providing a rare opportunity to learn about pearl farming while enjoying a luxury off-grid experience. The family's presence adds a layer of authenticity and warmth that defines the entire stay.
Should weather conditions prevent flying, you will be rebooked onto a private road or boat transfer and refunded the fare difference, ensuring a seamless and stress-free journey. This commitment to guest satisfaction ensures that your arrival at this remote paradise is handled with care and professionalism. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway or a quiet escape into nature, this seaside lodge offers an unparalleled experience that celebrates the beauty and wonder of the New Zealand coast.

Customer Reviews
What an excellent surprise!! Antonia, Mike and Jacob welcomed us to their island as though we were friends. Our tour began with a delicious tea with home baked goodies and delicious cooked paua. The family gave an informal yet very informative presentation about their process and history. I loved that we the conversation just flowed and we found many connections!! The blue pearl jewelry is exquisite . The styling highlights the gorgeous pearls. We purchased earrings and a matching necklace. I also appreciated that the purchase was led by us and there was no pressure to buy. A fabulous afternoon with th bonus of new friends!! May our paths cross again!
Another fabulous holiday at Arapawa. The Radon family are great hosts, welcoming and happy to ensure you have an awesome time. We had a very relaxing week - stunning views from the top of the hills, a bit of fishing and swimming, read a few books and recharged for the year ahead. Thanks Jacob, Antonia and Mike, we will be back!
Mike, Antonia, and their family opened their home and farm to us. This was a delightful tour which included yummy treats. It was educational to see how they produce the blue pearls! I'm excited to wear my beautiful blue pearl necklace. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.
