Our family had a wonderful time at Charmaine's house. The garden is beautiful, the environment is soothing and the views of the mountains are great. The beds were very comfortable and they let us use the kitchen for our bigger meals. Communication was great. We would recommend staying at this house for those visiting the Takaka Hill area but it is quite far from the coast of Abel Tasman (about 45min if you are not used to driving in the mountains). Thank you for your hospitality!
