A very big house, with 5 bedrooms with comfy beds, 3 bathrooms and 2 large living areas so it’s ideal for 2 families.
There’s a stunning private beach only 2 mins walk away, so the use of the kayak was also welcome. We used the house as a base to walk sections of the Abel Tasman NP.
The house is cut off only by king tides flooding the gravel access road, so guests need to plan accordingly but we were made well aware and checked the tide times.
The description of the house as a 70s time capsule is accurate, it adds to the traditional kiwi Bach charm, and it had everything we needed, including an excellent log burner.
Having a pool table and table tennis table also made for fun times.
Our suggestion is that the kitchen appliances probably now need modernising to fully justify the cost, also an observation that the wifi can be quite slow and the water pressure in the showers is low as on a reservoir.
The managers were helpful and responsive and quick to act when we had an issue with the roof leaking on a public holiday after extremely heavy rain.
All in all, we had a great fun 8 nights here in a little piece of Kiwi paradise.
