    So welcoming and homely, we will tell our family and friends about this little gem and cannot wait to stay again when ne

    Everything! The quality of the decor, the layout, the facilities and beautifully kept grounds. Nothing to fault whatsoever as everything had been considered right down to the freshly cut flowers on the dining table and the fireplace going.

    Fabulous spot even in winter. Hosts were amazing and the cottage was simply beautiful.

    Super quaint and an absolutely gorgeous location with a beautiful set up. The fireplace was all set up and ready to go and so efficient in heating the space. Wonderful hosts!

    Mosquitoes, Roach, and a 3AM Evacuation

    Pros: pretty rural location, convenient to Abel Tasman National Park, beautiful views of estuary just behind the cabins, nice bathroom and shower (watch your head with the sloping bathroom ceiling), storage room off bath that is great for keeping luggage out of the way

    Cons: Upon arrival, we briefly turned on the AC evaporator but shut it off immediately because of a strong musty, burnt smell. At bedtime we spotted a large roach above the evaporator. After spraying it with Raid it scrambled into the unit, suggesting a possible infestation that would explain the odor. The cabin warmed quickly; we opened a window and closed the curtains, but a swarm of mosquitoes still got in. It became so hot and uncomfortable that at 3 AM we evacuated and slept in the car. The next morning we checked into a bug-free motel in Nelson. We didn’t contact the owners since there were no quick fixes. This is a rural, pesticide-free property (aside from the Raid), and it seems that many guests aren’t bothered by these issues, but the mosquito bites and unusable AC were unacceptable for us. Owners should consider adding an exterior screen to the front sliding window, inspecting and cleaning the AC evaporators, and providing a fan for air circulation.
