Great Abel Tasman location

The place had everything we needed. We cook a lot and there were ample kitchen utensils for all our needs. The wood fireplace worked great. We were able to walk to the water taxi and trail from the home. Highly recommend the home.

Lovely character home in great location

Wished we could hv stayed longer. Lovely character house with everything you need in it. Had dinners outside in setting sun. Lovely walks in surrounding area and close to water taxis taking tours up east coast to Awaroa inlet. Owner came to meet us which was lovely. Would recommend to others and would go there again.
