It was central to everything. The hosts were great and booked the water taxi as well as the restaurant for us. Nothing was too much trouble.

Nichola New Zealand

There was nothing not to like about this perfect hideaway, even though it is plain site. From the moment you drive down the tree-lined driveway to the way the 3 individual cottages, specifically placed so each are suitably apart, but each getting superb views. If you are looking for serenity to unwind with your partner, a good book and a bottle of wine, then this is the place.

Karen New Zealand

Very helpful and friendly hosts We were able to join the Aqua Taxi the next morning easily as the Able Tasman Haven is next door.

Paul Italy

the rooms were well appointed, fresh, clean, private. The deck and table/chairs provided a nice sunny spot to eat.

Alan New Zealand

Comfortable bed. Friendly host. Great shower. Well-equipped. Insect screens on windows. Proximity to Aqua Taxis for next day.

Mari New Zealand

Everything, Rose was a lovely host! Very clean rooms and super quiet and scenic! Highly recommend this spot! Will be back

Cole New Zealand

The welcome when we arrived from Rose. She loaned us a walking stick and supplied eggs. It certainly is a haven. We were not there to kayak,just relax and you can certainly do that. We are in the older age bracket.

Glenda New Zealand

Rose was amazing! She booked us a table for dinner and a spot of kayaking on arrival. Even offered to leave our car there when we walked the Abel Tasman. Rooms were very cute! Clean and had everything you needed in them! Belle the dog was also friendly! Would definitely recommend!

Casey New Zealand

Super clean, simple little studio unit with everything you need. Rose was friendly and helpful, and has gone the extra mile to ensure a comfortable stay with good quality linen, extra pillows, a torch etc. The chalets are screened from each other by planting and each has its own private outlook. The place has a rural feel but is only 5 minutes walk from Hooked, a great little restaurant on the waterfront, and from the beach, pleasant for swimming at high tide. We are pleased to have found this place and would definitely like to return.

Wendy New Zealand

Great location right next to Abel Tasman water taxis and beach. Comfortable place to stay and everyone was welcoming and amazing!

Peter New Zealand
