Steph provided everything one could possibly need in an absolutely gorgeous cottage. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay ##### Diana L. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John C. 27 Mar 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### An amazing place to stay with a wonderful host We had spent almost a week up in Abel Tasman Park at Awaroa so had been busy hiking, swimming and watching the tides. After all the running about, boat trip up and back this was a super relaxing stop for a couple of days. The view out over the river to the sea and distant mountains is fantastic and we woke up to a brilliant red sunrise. We did laundry and fed some of my breakfast croissant crumbs to the chickens. Its was great. ##### John C.
