Annemarie gave us very good directions so that even though it was dark when we arrived we were able to find it. We came over the mountain route and their place is the first driveway you come to when you near the bottom of the hill. The sign is small on the right next to the drive way which is gravel and winds up a beautiful long tree lined road to the barn first, then the cottage, then the home. Annemarie met us when we pulled in and showed us to our room which was attached to the main house but with a private entry at the deck. The room had everything we needed for our comfort. There is no screen for the window so we just had to be careful to not leave it open if the lights were on to keep bugs out. The next morning we saw how gorgeous the grounds are with fruit trees and various blooming flowers everywhere. The view across the valley below is amazing. We enjoyed coffee on the deck and made our way back into Moutecka for breakfast and groceries since the large grocery closed at 9pm the evening of our arrival. We had time to also check out Marahau briefly prior to Gita's arrival. The rest of our plans to explore Abel Tasman will have to wait for our next trip to New Zealand since cyclone Gita's arrival came during our stay. There were slips and downed trees all along the mountain road making it impassable. Then directly out their driveway going on down the hill a little, the paved bridge washed out making vehicle passage impossible at that point. However, by the end of the following day road construction workers had created a low water crossing where the bridge once was. Then by dark that day the power was restored, but not wifi. Since there is no cellular service in that area ( you have to go out to the beach at Marahau for cellular) not having wifi is a problem. Hopefully that will get fixed quickly too. During all of this Annemarie was very attentive giving us all we needed to make sure we were comfortable. They have lived there several years and have never seen a storm to this magnitude. We would definitely recommend staying there for a beautiful quiet stay....once the wifi and road issues are resolved. In the mean time our thoughts and prayers go out to the people who sustained significant damage to their homes and farms all across the region.
