Relax and rejuvenate.

Just the perfect location to step back and just relax. The accommodation was clean and just perfect for a short break. Waking up to those views and sitting outside for breakfast was the perfect way to start the day. The host Kath was very friendly and also very respectful knowing I just wanted peace and quiet. A lovely place to stay.

Stargazing with a wine by the brazier a highlight

Overall enjoyed our stay - Kath was very welcoming and accomodating for where things were, local restaurant suggestions and anything extra we needed. The property and room were well maintained and clean. Our only downsides were no spare towels or facecloths, being a little bit cold, and the access to room (we had to clamber around a parked wide caravan between bushes and a steep hill, my partner slipping over at one point, which was doable for us but I imagine would be very difficult for someone older or less able than us!) The view is fantastic and having a wine and stargazing by the brazier was the highlight for us. Thanks again for your hospitality Kath

We own a large dog called Bear, who is very friendly and excellent with children.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the beauty of this area and were smitten by the amazing 360° panoramic views over rolling valleys, stunning hills and local vineyards not to mention the beautiful Tasman Bay with its natural boulder bank providing shelter for the ships and foreshore.
Growing up in the region we were familiar with the stunning beauty of the Abel Tasman and its HikingTrack which is now so very popular with tourists the world over.
