My partner and I stayed at Abbey's before departing on an Abel Tasman kayak adventure. We wanted someplace cozy, quiet, welcoming and close to food, shops, etc. (for last minute items). Abbey's place is all that and more. The place itself is eclectic, chic, extremely cozy, and located close to central Tekaka. The home features several design and artistic elements which fascinated me during out visit. Abbey is an outstanding host; warm and generous with a sweet pup (Jackson) who will make you feel right at home. Abbey has wonderful knowledge and suggestions regarding the area, which we took. I would recommend Abbey's place to anyone traveling the area. Many thanks to this beautiful host and canine companion for a wonderful overnight.
