We loved this place for its feeling of being above it all. We stayed here five years ago and now that we were able to come back to New Zealand after Covid restrictions were lifted, we had to come back. We loved the hills and the grazing sheep and the view down to Tasman bay. We felt at home in the cottage. It is squeaky clean, well equipped, and full of warm feelings. It is on a highland between two twisty windy roads, one down to Takaka valley and the other down to Motueka. So if you want a base for Abel Tasman Park or Golden Bay, this probably isn’t it. But if you want a time to reconnect with your inner spirit or your significant other, with no distractions except the surrounding hills, this would be a good choice.
