Kates house was a wonderful place to recuperate after walking the Abel Tasman hike. The amenities including the full kitchen, modern bathroom and laundry were appreciated, as well as the comfortable beds and spacious rooms/living areas. It was easy to feel at home here. It was an easy walk to Richmond township and it transpired many of the shuttle services to Abel Tasman cruises and other activities happily picked us up from the Richmond bus stop near the Richmond holiday park which was just passed the shops and also an easily walkable distance of about 25min. A very affordable and comfortable option and just as convenient as being in Nelson. The outdoor area was peaceful and comfortable. I would happily stay again. The DIY cleaning option was straightforward and great for those on a budget.
