Summary: This is a real NZ bach - and the setting is refreshing and relaxing and very private. The two upstairs bedrooms are accessed by ladder - just great for a family holiday - kids especially would love it. There is a stream at the bottom of the garden and its sound along with the birds and the beautiful canopy of bush -sitting on the verandah - just makes this place perfectly aligned with the remoteness of the location.

Summary: Very special wooden cottage set in quite large private grounds half surrounded by bush, stream running through. Great location near Pakawau beach. Well equipped for cooking, we ate in most nights. Signage/communication could be better and a few worn cushions/outdoor chair covers could be replaced, a bit of paint here and there also needed.

Summary: We were after somewhere quiet to rest after hiking the Abel Tasman and this was a perfect base to explore the area. The house is private and quiet and surrounded by bush and the bubble of a small stream. It is a rustic cottage with comfy beds and all the kitchen items you'll need. We didn't miss tv and the wifi is patchy but that was fine with us. Pakawau Beach is lovely and a few mins up the rd. We left refreshed and relaxed and really enjoyed our stay.
