We thoroughly enjoyed our two days in the charming Rata Cottage and would gladly have spent more time there - such a perfect spot for relaxing in the gardens and vineyards and canooing or paddleboarding on the inlet. It was also a very convenient spot for exploring the Abel Tasman National park, just a 30-40 minutes drive away. Finally, Elsbeth was a very warm host, giving us figs and apples from the gardens. We wuld love to come back sometime.
