Annette and Jaap were asleep when we arrived, so we didn't meet them until the morning. The space is just wonderful- you have a private sitting room, a bedroom and a fantastic huge bathroom! I loved the pearl and oyster soap-what a fun touch. Annette had brochures about kayaking, Abel Tasman water taxis, and other local activities. We missed the early kayak trips (most start at 8:30) and the weather prevented us from getting a freedom kayak rental. Nevertheless, we took a water taxi to bark bay and hiked down to anchorage and caught the water taxi back. Wonderful day. Annette also showed us how to properly make plunger coffee. If you a looking for a great place near Abel Tasman and vineyards, this is it. Check out the Naked Bun in town too!
