We totally enjoyed our stay with Neville & wife Debbie in their peaceful home at Tata Beach in Golden Bay. This experience offers several amenities above & beyond what most offer: quick immediate access to a large beautiful beach; views of an estuary behind the home, sitting on special bench and enjoying the full moon there, (if you are lucky)! There are many opportunities for great walks, hikes, sunsets, birds, waterfalls, & wonderful friendly, helpful, & informative hosts. We were most impressed with the large assortment of breakfast,
Items available such as juice, cereals, tea, special coffee, ginger slices , fruit, bread, & a large milk. The drive around Golden Bay is also a plus. Accordingly, we enthusiastically recommend this stay (on the northern tip of South Island) to others. Be aware of what they say,”New Zealand roads are different. Allow extra time!” We have seldom experienced anything like the Tata Hill, with it’s many curves, but one does get used to it ... at least a little!
*** It’s all worth it!***
