Totara Glen - Bucolic retreat in peaceful countryside

Summary:
Discover the serene beauty of Totara Glen Farmhouse, an idyllic retreat offering peace and tranquility, all just a mere ten-minute journey from the bustling town and inviting beaches.

This charming farmhouse is cradled by lush farmlands, set against the spectacular backdrop of mountains, part of the Kahurangi National Park. These majestic peaks, frequently adorned with snow, create a breathtaking panorama.

Bordering Totara Glen Farm is the East Takaka river, with a dedicated mountain bike trail tracing its path. This scenic route concludes in Takaka township, a delightful 30-minute ride away. Golden Bay is a haven for mountain biking enthusiasts, boasting an array of trails, alongside a dedicated road cycle track to the township.


The farmhouse's patio is an ideal locale for basking in the sun, with views of rolling mountains and Totara Glen's farmland. Inside, a welcoming and bright living/dining area, warmed by a wood-burning fireplace, invites relaxation. The spacious kitchen is a culinary dream, featuring stone countertops and modern appliances.

Come and experience the rural charm and myriad attractions of Totara Glen Farmhouse in the picturesque Golden Bay.

The Space:
This 5-bedroom holiday home comfortably accommodates up to 10 guests, with a variety of bedding options suitable for families and groups of friends. A fully equipped family bathroom and a washing machine ensure a hassle-free stay.

Ensconced at the end of a private driveway, the property offers plentiful off-street parking within a secure, fenced area. The outdoor space includes a BBQ, table tennis, and darts, perfect for leisure and entertainment.

The Neighborhood:
Takaka, a hub of activity, provides all necessities, including unique boutique stores, cozy cafes, and exquisite restaurants. Nearby Paines Ford, accessible via the cycle track and close to the farm, offers refreshing swimming spots in crystal-clear river waters and the thrill of rock climbing at Hangdog.

Golden Bay's breathtaking sandy beaches, such as Pohara Beach and Tata Beach, envelop the area. The renowned Abel Tasman National Park awaits exploration, right at your doorstep. A convenient boat ramp is located nearby along the coast, promising abundant fishing opportunities.

Perfect Stay

Our four night stay was lovely. The house is located in a beautiful valley with mountains to each side. Cows and sheep graze in the fields around the house. Thoroughly bucolic. The kitchen supplied everything needed. Our bed was comfortable. A bouquet of freshly picked flowers greeted us upon arrival. The town of Tākaka is a short, scenic drive away, with a supermarket and restaurant options. Lovely beaches are nearby and most important to us, access to Abel Tasman Park. We very much look forward to returning!
