Welcoming and helpful host. Beautiful gardens, well maintained pool, comfortable accommodation

This was a lovely stay - the home is within a 5- minute drive to Keiteriteri beach, the delicious eateries and grocery store there, and the boats taking us to trailheads of Abel Tasman Nat'l Park. The garden is just beautifu and provided a relaxing vibe;each day we really enjoyed sitting on the patio with drinks and food! There is a pool which our young 20's daughter loved "sunning" beside. The home is clean with comfortable. The store in town sold mixed spices which we purchased for simple meal making; plan for the freezer to hold just small frozen treats. Merv was a great host - responsive to our questions, easy check-in and check-out, and we loved chatting with him to hear the back story of their garden and life in this pretty spot of NZ. We highly recommend this home esp for a couple or family with younger kids (one of the beds is full size and best for littler ones!). Bring your beach gear and come over!

This was a lovely little house in a beautiful garden setting,

Overall, just an okay stay. Beautiful gardens surrounding the cottage, pool was a nice touch. Towels were old and worn, inside was dated compared to others at the same price. Worst part was the parking; I have no idea how someone is supposed to reverse park down a hill next to other cars and boats with a turn!
