The house is even more lovely in real life than the pictures suggest. Marianne has created a warm home with all the essentials. It feels and is as functional as what a family holiday home should be. The view from the all rooms of the house is amazing. Rain or shine, you can't get bored. The garden is also lovely and just big enough for the kids to have a great time there. We could walk to the wharf restaurants and activities as well as to the supermarket, bakery and chemist. This house was perfect for our family for our time by Abel Tasman.
