Waitaria Bay is a small place, also called a 'locality,' in the Marlborough area of New Zealand. It's located on the northern side of Kenepuru Sound, which is part of the beautiful Marlborough Sounds.

To get to the nearest shop, you'd drive about 50 minutes. The closest small town, Havelock, is two hours away by car. The nearest main city, Blenheim, is a two-and-a-half-hour drive.
