This is definitely the place to stay if you are traveling in this part of New Zealand! The location is perfect as a base for exploring fex the Abel Tasman National park, only a 45 minutes drive away!

Julie and Mark are excellent hosts! They give 100 % privacy if you prefer that. At the same time they are very happy to share all their knowledge and experience about the surroundings as well as regarding all of New Zealand! They are great communicators and we listened (and also followed) their recommendations and that added a lot if value to our experience! We are so grateful for that!!

The accommodation itself, Kotare Muse, has a feel of luxury and high class quality! The bed, bed linens, pillows and towels make you believe that you are in a 5-star hotel! Julie and Mark have not saved on anything! The very comfortable leather recliners heals your body after a day of hiking and walking. The space is very well organized and planned. We did not miss anything!

We are happy to highly recommend Julies and Marks place to everybody traveling to this part of the South Island!! We feel privileged and honored to call us their first Airbnb guests!!..:)
