The view is even more spectacular than the photos. Waking up to that, the fresh air and the sounds of the forest was a daily pleasure during our stay. We stayed for about two weeks and wish we could it could have been longer. And what a house! So spacious, rustic and homey, with everything we needed. The area has many walks, great swimming beaches and a lovely local river waterhole, just down the road. About 20 minutes by car to Nelson meant we could drop in to town easily. It's also just an hour from the start of the Abel Tasman Great Walk. Rachel was amazing, very welcoming and great with communication. She even brought us fruits and vegetables from her garden. Thanks for everything! We'll definitely recommend this to our friends.
