The moment we walked in and saw the message on the bathroom door “life is not measured by the breath we take but by the moments that take our breath away”, we felt it described exactly our feeling for the place. Both Al and Kath were warm and helpful people. They make the best hosts. We stayed 4 days and enjoyed every moment. We hope to stay again sometime soon. We walked Abel Tasman tracks directly from Marahau a couple of times. We visited Little Kaiteriteri, very beautiful, and went to Nelson, which is a little over one hour from the house. Thank you Cath and Al x
