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. ##### Amy Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2026 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda B.
