My friend and I had a wonderful time at the Golden Bay Retreat! The woodstove kept us nice and toasty when the evening rolled in and the beds were clean and comfy. The nearby town has a very cute downtown street area to poke around, and Abel Tasman park is a reasonable drive away for a day trip (we spent a day exploring the park and returned in time for dinner).
Reen was a great host, she met us when we arrived and point out where we could get more wood in we needed it. She also checked in during our stay and offered us a bit of wifi from her garden if we needed to check emails :)
If you love a private, quiet and natural retreat this is the place for you!
