We spent a wonderful week in Marahau. We felt lucky to have Dave and his family upstairs as they were kind, generous and helpful hosts. We loved living right up by the beach to watch the boats go in and out, enjoy the magic of high and low tide, and have Abel Tasman at our feet. We are a family with 3 kids under five and the apartment worked out great - we brought along a cot and a highchair. Would recommend this stay to anyone!
