Built as a replica Cape Cod style lighthouse, complete with winding staircase up to the stunning crow’s nest with its 360° balcony and a commanding view of the bay and beyond to Farewell Spit. With windows on all sides and great views to the sea, this will be nothing short of unfortgettable. Maybe you have a romantic getaway planned or a boating break with friends or the quintessential family beach holiday; The Lighthouse offers something special and unique. In Winter, The Lighthouse has a traditional wood-burning stove in the kitchen/dining area, creating a real heart to this home. Then in Summer, take your pick from two sundecks, a BBQ, plenty of outdoor space, plus room to park the boat! The master bedroom, just below the Crow’s Nest, has a small en-suite and its own balcony. The lower lounge, which opens out to the lower deck area, has a pull-down queen size double bed. A further four beds are in the loft bedroom above the utility and family bathroom with a separate guest toilet on the other side of the property. Situated in beautiful Ligar Bay and a 5-minute walk from the sheltered beach and just a few kilometers from the northern end of the classic walking track through the Abel Tasman National Park. Guided and self-guided kayaking is available at Tata Beach, just 2kms down the road. Boat ramps at both Tarakohe Harbour and Tata Beach are just minutes away. Nearby Takaka has plenty of cafes, craft, art, shops and even a cinema, for the occasional rainy day. Totaranui, Awaroa, Wainui Waterfall, Pupu Springs, Mussell Inn, Farewell Spit and the truly incredible Wharariki Beach - the choices are endless. A real taste of life in a lighthouse but with those comforts of home, this is sure to be a hit no matter the audience - The Lighthouse welcomes you. All guests should take care when accessing the upper levels as this is accessed via a winding spiral staircase and may not suitable for toddlers or guests with impaired mobility. As there is a retaining wall without a barrier and a drop to the driveway, all guests should take care in this area due to the risk of falls. Please note a bond may be charged at certain times of the year. One of our team members will contact you if this is required for your booking. ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Bathtub - Shower ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony/patio - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,399 square feet ## Similar properties ![Classic House](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/16000000/15890000/15886200/15886153/936d5db6.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Barn Cabins & Camp Marahau - Free WiFi - Restaurant - Game room - Parking available 9.2 Wonderful 175 reviews CA $71 CA $82 total includes taxes & fees Mar 25 - Mar 26 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-25&endDate=2026-03-26&selected=15886153&PinnedHotelID=15886153&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Dinner served, vegetarian cuisine, ocean views ](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/9000000/8460000/8451200/8451166/ca1f7788.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kimi Ora Eco Resort Kaiteriteri - Pool - Hot tub - Breakfast included - Spa 9.6 Exceptional 379 reviews CA $165 CA $190 total includes taxes & fees Mar 30 - Mar 31 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-30&endDate=2026-03-31&selected=8451166&PinnedHotelID=8451166&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![The Lookout | Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9290000/9282300/9282224/05932e4b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### The Wheelhouse Inn Britannia Heights - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Parking included 9.8 Exceptional 232 reviews CA $189 CA $219 total includes taxes & fees Apr 4 - Apr 5 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-04&endDate=2026-04-05&selected=9282224&PinnedHotelID=9282224&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Beach Apartments | Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/32000000/31200000/31198500/31198476/7e976a66.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Golden Bay Holiday Park Parapara - On private beach - Parking included - Free WiFi - Laundry 7.6 Good 16 reviews CA $86 CA $99 total includes taxes & fees Mar 30 - Mar 31 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-30&endDate=2026-03-31&selected=31198476&PinnedHotelID=31198476&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/89000000/88800000/88793000/88792920/f6d50483.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Drift Off Grid - Luxury Eco Glamping Tata Beach - Breakfast included - Parking included - Free WiFi - Kitchen 10 Exceptional 7 reviews CA $467 CA $538 total includes taxes & fees Mar 24 - Mar 25 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-03-24&endDate=2026-03-25&selected=88792920&PinnedHotelID=88792920&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Standard Studio, Kitchenette, Ocean View](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/10000000/9630000/9625100/9625001/3e1287ab.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Pohara Beach Top 10 Holiday Pohara - Parking included - Free WiFi - Laundry - Microwave 9.0 Wonderful 110 reviews CA $84 CA $98 total includes taxes & fees Apr 6 - Apr 7 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-06&endDate=2026-04-07&selected=9625001&PinnedHotelID=9625001&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Kowhai Suite](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/21000000/20050000/20040200/20040118/598e3d61.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Abel Tasman Lodge Marahau - Hot tub - Spa - Parking included - Free WiFi 10 Exceptional 112 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-04-06&endDate=2026-04-07&selected=20040118&PinnedHotelID=20040118&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Exterior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/37000000/36250000/36246600/36246512/945f6cc0.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Jewel in Tata Beach.
