We had the most amazing time at Bev and Hans's place. They are incredible hosts who share their lifestyle with their guests. Me and the kids felt very welcome on their property. They went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing stay there. The house is very well equipped with anything that a family needs like games, toys, special dishes for the kids etc. - it's like you would move into your own home. Hans let me use the fishing gear and gave me very useful tips for the area. Bev was super nice to my kids and made them part of her life for a moment.
Easy to swim in the river / inlet down just a few steps and the stunning beach of Milnthorpe park is just 300m away. We enjoyed the short drive to Collingwood and Takaka is also very close. Hans and Bev know everything in the area and pointed us in the right directions for whatever we needed.
