We loved Tata Beach! Debbie and Neville were fantastic hosts. The coffee, scones and conversation were extraordinary. Neville's knowledge of off the beaten path travel spots was very much appreciated. He even wrote up a suggested itinerary for the North island for us after we had talked awhile and he had gotten to know us and how we liked to travel. Thanks Neville. Debbie was very helpful in suggesting local spots which were fantastic and made our stay in Golden Bay area so much fun.
The apartment itself was full of light and airy with a deck and clothes line right outside. The king size bed was great after so many nights on thermorests. The laundry was much appreciated as well as the full kitchen even though we loved the curry meal we had at the Wholemeal restaurant in Takaka when we didn't want to cook. Highly recommend this lovely apartment and gracious hosts.
