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.

An amazing place to stay with a wonderful host

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.
