About the host
Hosted by Wendy Dorrington
We have owned and rented Beachaven Cottages for over 20 years.
I have lived in Nelson most of my life and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. I'm a keen hiker and mountain biker so I can advise you on most of the tracks, National Parks and places to visit.
Why they chose this property
Beachaven Cottages are virtually beachfront. Just across the road is the beach and a reserve with wood fueled BBQ's. This makes it so easy to transport the kayaks, picnic, swim and enjoy the fabulous sunsets.
The beach is probably the calmest and most sheltered in Golden Bay. It is one of the few with Golden sand which makes for clear water. You'll love it.
What makes this property unique
The Cottages have all day sun and a mild winter climate. However on cold days there is a heat pump for efficient easy heating.
The location to Ligar Bay beach has to be the best feature. Tata Beach, Wainui Falls and Abel Tasman National Park are a short drive. Enjoy.
