Property for sale Marlborough Sounds Kenepuru Sound is one of the larger of the Marlborough Sounds in the South Island of New Zealand. The drowned valley is an arm of Pelorus Sound / Te Hoiere, it runs for 25 kilometres from the northeast to southwest, joining Pelorus Sound a quarter of the way down the latter’s path to the Cook Strait. Queen Charlotte Sound, the largest sound in Marlborough, lies to the southeast, parallel to Kenepuru Sound. Some of the small side arms of the two sounds are only hundreds of metres apart, at Te Mahia Bay and Portage Bay, but are separated by a steep serrated range of hills. Not surprisingly, one of the settlements on this stretch of coast is called Portage, named for the simplest method of passing between the two sounds. Queen Charlotte Track runs along the ridge of hills between Kenepuru Sound and Queen Charlotte Sound. Snapper fishing at its finest The Portage boasts unrivalled snapper fishing in the South Island. Due to the Kenepuru Sounds waters being warmer than the outer Cooke Straight and Pacific Ocean that feeds it, large ocean snapper use the Portage bays for spawning from October onwards. Unlike the snapper fishing around Auckland and northern waters, the fish in the Kenepuru are regularly over 12lb. Of course, some of these old snapper like the Kenepuru waters so much they decide to stay! As a result, good snapper can be caught at any time of the year here, as evident from the photo files attached. All of these photographed catched were within 2km of the Rewa Rewa property.
