Just minutes from the entrance to Abel Tasman National Park, it was the perfect base for exploring the area. Whether we were kayaking along the stunning coastline, setting off on one of the many walking tracks, or just enjoying the beautiful weather, everything was easily accessible.The accommodation itself was incredibly well-equipped, with everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay. The kitchen had all the essentials (and more), making meal prep a breeze, and the outdoor space was great for unwinding after a day of adventure. The peaceful setting and proximity to the beach made it even better.If you're looking for a place that combines comfort, convenience, and an unbeatable location for outdoor activities, this is it!
