Nestled in a beautiful garden with wild flowers and ducks, this airbnb’s location is unbeatable at a 5 minute walk away from the Abel Tasman National Park. But more than a charming and convenient setting, staying with George and his visiting friends from around the world is a transformative human experience. You will be so well fed and taken care of that it feels like you are visiting family. George cooked delicious breakfasts and dinners, helped me coordinate water taxi transport into the park, and even let me use the washer and dryer after I slipped in mud during a hike. George’s extraordinary kindness has made his house a home to many longstanding friends from around the world who return to visit him— it was such an enriching experience to meet them and learn about New Zealand through the eyes of locals and travelers. A heartwarming stay that will change your perspective on hosting and traveling in airbnbs. Would love to return!
