We stayed at Ingrid’s the night before we began the Abel Tasman walk. It is in a beautiful spot in the countryside, not far from the local town of Richmond. Ingrid was wonderfully welcoming offering local advice (especially the local river which is a great swimming spot and only 10 mins walk away!) and also left us breakfast in the fridge which was delicious.
A great place to stay and our only disappointment was that we couldn’t stay longer.
