That was my 1st trip to NZ and my 1st place where I stayed in NZ. If you like Nature at its best (not useless luxury comfort when nature and friendship are at the top), this place is ABSOLUTELY magic, and the hosts are very welcoming and friendly. It's like to be home in a magic place: Awaroa. There are a lot of trekking tracks to walk on, a lot of beautiful and peaceful beaches to stay on., sea water is clear and clean. There are no roads, no cars and Geoff goes to pick you up with his quad bike at the parking at low tide. The place is located in an inlet of the coast and becomes a kind of island during the high tide. There is no noise, only birds. The views are magnificent and the hosts are sharing that with you. The B&B is a small cottage with a nice bed and all what is necessary to do your cooking (you have to buy your food in Takaka or Motueka before getting there as there are no stores). Geoff and Elva provide coffee, tea, butter, olive oil, salt, pepper and sugar, as well as several other products. The cottage is fully supplied with towels and soap or shampoo. There is a restaurant at 10/15 min walk in case of. I will definitely go back there if i go again in NZ and I warmly and strongly recommand this B&B. Thanks to Geoff and Elva.
