My husband and I loved this accommodation!!! Perfect morning coffee and evening wine views. Great close location to Abel Tasman and beaches. Steph provided everything one could possibly need in an absolutely gorgeous cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay
The Cottage was better than described, luxurious and provided everything you could ask for in a holiday rental. Great view, welcoming hosts. There was fresh milk and eggs in the fridge and a bunch of other useful stuff. We used the cling film and a plastic bag from the drawer to pack lunch for a trip on the aqua ferry which we also thoroughly recommend.
We had spent almost a week up in Abel Tasman Park at Awaroa so had been busy hiking, swimming and watching the tides. After all the running about, boat trip up and back this was a super relaxing stop for a couple of days. The view out over the river to the sea and distant mountains is fantastic and we woke up to a brilliant red sunrise. We did laundry and fed some of my breakfast croissant crumbs to the chickens. Its was great.
