Marvellous Marahau

A great little property within 5 min. easy walk to a lovely beach. Lots of amenities locally, but small and isolated enough to relax in.

Perfect for all ages!

We absolutely loved our time here - I could have stayed for another week! The house is comfortable, and having a trampoline and swing for the kids was handy. It is a great location as only a short walk to the beach, store and restaurants.

Wish we had more time here!

The cottage is lovely and cozy! Fully equipped kitchen, comfortable furniture. The garden was pretty and very private. Easy walk to the beach and state park activity providers. We all wished we had more time to spend here!

Warm and Inviting

This place is magical and the house felt relaxing with everything you need, fire place that heated up in no time and an awesome bbq. It is well equiped with everything you could want. Not only with its back drop of able tasman national park, close to the beach n shop. You can go for walks at night and see the glow worms, my kids loved this.
