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! ##### Andrew S.
