This was hands down one of our favourite places that we've booked on airbnb. The house itself is even better than in the photos, but the views to the beach and Golden Bay are jaw dropping. The layout was perfect for the 4 of us in 3 bedrooms - enough space to hang out in the living room and to dine at the open kitchen's island (outdoor is also an option - covered or uncovered). The off-grid nature of the house wasn't an inconvenience at all, and in fact had us walk away much more conscious of water and power use (our battery check never got below 88% and we did laundry). The location was better than we'd expected - a short walk to the beach (great to do after dinner too), easy driving to Takaka (and beyond for meals & shops) and close to the end of the Abel Tasman track. We got to see why Tata beach is the ideal spot - great for swimming/kayaking at any tide level. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
