Loved our stay in Takaka! A beautiful and charming house with all the amenities we needed. Just a few minutes walk to down town Takaka, where you can find a few cafes and restaurants, and a grocery store. We enjoyed a lovely dinner at Brigand. About an hour drive to Abel Tasman coastal track (the northern part - a really beautiful hike!) and short distances to other beaches, and walks surrounded by gorgeous nature. Would also recommend going to Wharariki beach!
