Nelly, Dirk and Simon's place is a great location to use as a base either to head up to Kaiteriteri and Abel Tasman, or the other direction to Nelson. We were two families with kids and the house was set up well for that, with a huge deck and lawn, hammock, tyre swing, go cart and tidal flat across the road to explore. Thanks, Nelly for the warm welcome and hope we can come back again!
