Tasman was our first stop on our New Zealand adventure. Michelle and Michael made us feel right at home. The apartment is spacious and well-equipped for cooking if you choose. The house is conveniently located between Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park. It's a great home base to explore the Abel Tasman area. Kina Beach is a short walk/bike ride away. And the Mapua wharf with restaurants and pubs is just a short car ride from their place. We enjoyed being at the wharf with the local community and hanging out on Michelle and Michael's terrace on summer evenings. Michelle and Michael graciously answered all our questions and offered suggestions about what to do and see in the area. They love their home and we were honored that they shared it with us. We hope to return the favor one day.
