Our first time in Takaka with no clue what to expect and Tracey's cosy abode made us feel like home. First of all, that AMAZING home-baked bread. We could not get enough of. She gave us all the space we needed and was an absolutely stellar hostess when needed. Such a genuine spirit. It's best to have your own transport to get here and keep in mind there's no kitchen (Tracey collects dirty dishes and washes them when her dishwasher is full). If we ever come back to Takaka, we are definitely staying here.
