Staying in Shanti's permaculture paradise is an experience of being held in the arms of Mother Nature HERself. With the creek running behind the tent, the birds in the trees, the outdoor, hot shower, the poo pod and it's wonderful bushy view, the outdoor eating area, fresh leafy greens in the garden and with morning breakfasts included, this place was a true gem of a find. We stayed nearly a week but could have easily stayed a month. The cool little town of Takaka is an easy ten minute drive away and the besutiful Pohara beach is just down the road. An hours drive, give or take, in either direction and you've pretty much got the the Able Tasman and Heaphy Tracks on your doorstep making this s primo spot to stay before or after a long hike or while waiting for someone else to get done on the trails. Shanti makes you feel like you're staying with a sister too. Couldn't rate this experience any more highly and would happily stay again should we return to Golden Bay. Thank you so much beautiful woman for making us feel so welcome in so many ways. Om love 💕🌸
