Had everything we needed for a great vacation. We spent 3 days in and around Abel Tasman and this is an excellent location for accessing the park and other tracks in the area. The house is well equipped though an online or physical manual would help with things like wireless connection and check out instructions. If ever in this area again, we would definitely stay here. ##### Aran R.
