Did the Abel Tasman Great Walk the next day. Helen's place is a great starting point for any of these walks in the area. The room with its own private bathroom was lovely, tidy & homey and even came with its own kitchenette (cooking can be done in the main kitchen area in the house though). Parking is right outside the door (so no lifting heavy suitcases for too long). Her puppy is really adorable too. You'll love Helen's place!
