Quiet, remote place that's a good jumping off point to visiting Golden Bay and the northern part of Abel Tasman National Park. We really enjoyed driving around the area and discovered some beautiful spots thanks to some great recommendations. We very much appreciated having breakfast supplies and a BBQ to grill our our dinner (supermarket in Takaka). Being located quite rural and surrounded by bush, naturally we saw a few insects and spiders in the place, which didn't bother us but might not be for everyone.
