Jan and her family were the perfect hosts. From the minute I pulled up I felt like family and was treated just so. I really felt spoilt when I stayed there and Jan wouldn't let me lift a finger. She was great company and we even went out for a walk together to Abel Tasman the next day, after a long laze on the sunny patio with a cup of tea and superb views - it is a photographers dream.
As a working farm you are surrounded by animals which is great and the house has a lovely and warm farm-house feel to it. It is also perfect located for Abel Tasman which is a short 20 minute drive away.
Jan cooked me breakfast, lunch and dinner on both days and even made me a packed breakfast and lunch to take away with me because I had such an early start the next day. All the food is local and in most cases home-grown and reared!! I will always be grateful that I found Mountain View B&B and had the chance to meet Jan, Damon and Phoenix. I featured Mountain View on my blog: https://thegoodiecupboard.com/2016/06/29/welcome-to-mountain-view-bb-and-the-abel-tasman/
