What an incredible space to start my Yoga journey & Takaka adventures. I only stayed here a night before heading to Anahata Yoga retreat, but this was exceptionally perfect. My cabin was positioned in the woods, with a beautiful view through the forest out over the ocean. A magical place to sleep under the full moon. I particularly loved the Yoga Shala, the complimentary yoga and meditation classes in the morning, the company of the other guests staying here & of course, being able to stroll down to the very secluded beach. The facilities are very humble, but this adds to the charm of reconnecting to nature & retreating from modern day life & switching off digital devices.
As a side note: There is no public transport in Takaka so it is wise to organise a shuttle, rental care or alternative mode of transport if you are not so keen on hitchhiking. The Takaka 'isite' is probably the best source for finding out about transport options.
