Kauri Cottage - Marahau Holiday Home

As you revel in the picturesque landscape surrounding your abode, slipping into holiday mode becomes effortless. Picture windows allow endless sunlight to filter through Kauri Cottage on a summer's day. Step out onto the patio, complete with a table, chairs, and BBQ—perfect for a laid-back balmy evening with a chilled beverage in hand.

Packed with character and charm, this cottage serves as the perfect base to explore the surrounding area and unwind. Comfortably accommodating up to four guests across two bedrooms, it's an ideal setup for a small family or a couples’ retreat to relish in this gorgeous part of New Zealand. A generous bathroom, along with an iron and ironing board, completes the setup for a fuss-free stay.

This Mārahau haven is strategically located close to various attractions, with the starting point of the Abel Tasman just 5km away, making it the perfect spot for downtime before or after your expedition.

This house was a real gem! The house is much larger than it appears from the photos and is in such an amazing location, the surroundings are stunning and so peaceful (and even includes a friendly resident weka!). Only a short (less than 5 mins) drive to Marahau, makes it a perfect location for peace and quiet but easy access to Abel Tasman. The house was sparkling clean and well renovated. A magic spot, everyone loved it.
