Close to the beach and the ABel Tasman National Park Marahau is the main gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park and has a lovely long sandy beach which is safe for swimming and at low tide you can wiggle your toes in the sand to catch cockles . You can book water taxis, hire kayaks, embark on a canyoning adventure or set off on the Coastal Walking Track. The sleepy settlement is the perfect place to get away from it all. Fale Va'a is in the centre of Marahu on a quiet cul de sac just 2 minutes from the beach. This is the perfect location with everything in easy, flat walking distance. The home is on a flat and sunny section surrounded by mature trees for privacy. The garden is fully fenced to keep the children safe. The house is modern and comfortable with ample room for everyone. The living area is open plan with a large dining table and well equipped kitchen. If your group exceeds 6 guests there is also a garden studio with it's own bathroom and will sleep three guests. The studio will only be available for bookings over 6 guests. We look forward to welcoming you to Fale Va'a ## Property amenities ### Beach - Beach nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: WiFi ### Parking and transport - Car recommended - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Garden ### Laundry - Washing machine ### Comfort - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Location highlights - Near the sea ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/59000000/58900000/58899300/58899297/ba600a1f.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### House wth the Orange Door Tasman - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 17 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=58899297&PinnedHotelID=58899297&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114430000/114429300/114429291/bba17d2d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kaiteriteri Heights Kaiteriteri - Ocean view - Washing machine - Air-conditioning - Parking available 8.0 Very good 1 review [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=114429291&PinnedHotelID=114429291&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/123000000/122460000/122455200/122455128/1b859212.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Kaiteri Sands Retreat Kaiteriteri - Mārahau - Ocean view [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=122455128&PinnedHotelID=122455128&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114600000/114599500/114599474/a7642d06.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Relax and unwind in the heart of Pohara with the golden sands on your doorstep Pohara - Kitchen - Washing machine - Pet-friendly - Parking available [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=114599474&PinnedHotelID=114599474&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/38000000/37910000/37908900/37908900/b8154745.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Hilltop Heaven - Kaiteriteri Holiday Home Kaiteriteri - Kitchen - Washing machine - Outdoor space - Parking available 8.6 Excellent 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-10&endDate=2026-02-11&selected=37908900&PinnedHotelID=37908900&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/116000000/115470000/115469400/115469331/c51402d2.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Fab 4-bedroom 44a estate - sleeps 14 - Motueka Valley - your own nature reserve!
