Our family (parents, adult children) had a fantastic time at On the Beach Marahau! The home is large and very comfortable and Marahau is a relaxing picturesque beach town. Cooking in was easy with the barbecue and well equipped kitchen. The house is ideally situated for a quick drive or easy walk to Abel Tasman National Park and the water sport companies and cafes in town. The house deck was the perfect place to watch just how far the tide comes in and out, and to stargaze (best view of the Milky Way we have ever seen). It was wonderful to have kayaks available for exploring the bay whenever we wished.

David is a fantastic host and very easy to work with/contact. He sent us welcome e-mail and information when we first booked and then additional information days before our visit.

If we are fortunate to travel to New Zealand again one day, I definitely would book another stay at On the Beach Marahau.
