I’ve been traveling to Takaka from the States for the past 30 years and usually stay with family in Golden Bay. This is the first time we’ve chosen other accommodations and it was a wonderful experience! Clean, spacious, and cozy. Just a couple of minutes to town if you have a car. It was such a pleasure to wake up in the morning and look out over the garden while enjoying a cup of coffee and listening to the birds. It was like our own private oasis. Simone and Joe have their own home on the property but it still feels very private. The kitchen has all the essentials that you would need to make a meal and the home was adequately stocked with towels/linens/blankets. Bathroom was big and clean. Simone and Joe were easy to communicate with via the AirBnB app and were very helpful when arranging our arrival over the hill. I would 100% stay here again and will recommend this place to friends and family members planning a trip to GB.
