About this property

Raisin Town - Marahau Bach

This Marahau bach includes bright open plan living, with a fireplace to keep you toasty during those cooler stays - for the ultimate summer set up, the front deck is a perfect spot to unwind, take in the ocean views, and watch the world go by... The spacious garden provides additional relaxing space - find your favourite spot and chill out with a good book!

Each of the bedrooms at this Marahau Accommodation has a queen bed, making this an ideal option for singles or couples - bedroom 1 has a lovely view to the beach.

Head next door to the cafe, stroll across the road to the beach, or catch a water taxi to one of the many parts of the Abel Tasman National Park walking tracks. Plus, you are 20 minutes from Motueka, and wineries are only a half hour drive away.

Everything you need for a refreshing Marahau getaway awaits... Welcome to Raisin Town!
As the property has access to the beach, adults should closely supervise young children while outside to ensure they are safe around water.

Lovely beach front property

Great location, just across the road from the beach. Handy to information centre, cafe and boat ramp. Located approximately 1km from the start of the Abel Tasman Walkway. Property was clean and tidy and we enjoyed our stay.

Right in the middle of the fun

Property has a great location for watching all the activity in Mārahau from the deck whilst having breakfast! Explored the Abel Tasman tracks, visited Split Apple Rock and Kaiteriteri. Cafe/bar was close by for coffees or happy hour and dinner. Lovely holiday in a kiwi bach - thank you!
