We booked this stay as we had a late flight and planned to start the abel tasman hike the next day. It is in a perfect location for this, about halfway between Nelson and the start of the hike. Melanie was also kind enough to offer to make up the fold-out couch for us as we were arriving late, she left a nice note for us with the wifi details and there was some delicious fresh milk for us in the fridge for tea and coffee in the morning! Plenty of space for all 4 of us to re-pack our packs ready for the hike the next day. Melanie was awesome to communicate with, very fast to respond and very friendly. I would definitely recommend this place :)
