I had a feeling the booking we had made would take us somewhere special, and we were not disappointed, in fact the photos and the description of PJ's location can not do it justice. Majestic, magical location, I was mesmerised each day by the scenery and natural energy of the valley. We felt we had the best of both worlds; privacy, and local advise at our fingertips. The cottage has everything you could need, and was warm and inviting, including fresh cut flowers to welcome guests. Carol and Simon are wonderful hosts who generously took the time to chaperone us on a very special local walk including a challenging river crossing with our toddler - the walk being the highlight of our stay in Takaka. We recommend PJ's to anyone wanting to truely get away from it all, but in comfort :) We would most definitely stay again.
