Stephen’s place in Ligar Bay was perfect for our family of 4! We’ve stayed at many Airbnb’s, and this might have been our all time favorite. The place itself is a really cool, modern cottage (Bach) with comfortable beds, nice amenities and fantastic outdoor space. The large deck includes areas to sit & relax as well as a large grill and a picnic table. A big bonus was the two kayaks which were really fun for paddling in the lagoon at high tide and in the bay anytime. Stephen was also a responsive host who made us feel very welcome. The location is beautiful and a bit removed which is part of its charm, but you can still easily get to Takaka for groceries, restaurants, etc. Overall, we had a fantastic stay at Stephen’s place & would highly recommend to anyone visiting the South Island!
