We were able to enjoy the place for several days as a base to explore Abel Tasman and Golden Bay while my partner took advantage of the comfortable space, WiFi, and calm surroundings to get some work done. She would take breaks and enjoy a bath, pet the sheep, or listen to the birds and even was able to join me on a kayaking trip. We made it a short drive down the road to catch an amazing band at the Mussel Inn, the local brewpub/nightspot. The hosts were so friendly and accommodating, even watching a glorious moonrise with us and enjoying the night sky.
