An island in the sun is a charming place, great to relax and enjoy the Abel Tasman National Park. Although you need to be ferried between Jackett Island and the mainland, our host is always there to help us with it, it is an actually quite a fun experience. We stocked up the fridge. We had breakfast in the apartment, then we ventured out for our day trip and returned back to the island in the late afternoon, there was still plenty of time to have a stroll on the beach, enjoy the apartment and cook a lovely dinner. Much better then eating out. We popped some green lip mussels on the grill, so easy to cook yet so good. We had no luck with weather, it was raining most of the time. I am sure this place would be even more memorable if we had good weather.
