Then return home to relax on one of the terraces, enjoying the stunning garden and peaceful setting.
There are two bedrooms. Both have double beds in them with an additional single in the larger bedroom. Just ask at time of booking.
The bungalow is 125m2 so plenty of space.


Special conditions:
Eco friendly so a few simple guidelines re. our beautiful filtered water system and healthy sewage system. (Just common sense like no fat down the sink or rubbish down toilet)

I choose to be disconnected 😁 so no internet.

Extras: Linen (included); NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave.

Amazing find!

Loved this bach. Great location easy to get around to the popular spots. The property has a real rural feel without it being too far out of town. Great access to Kaiteriteri and national park. This is the perfect place to unplug and recharge. And we were quite entertained by the weka under the house :-)

Homey and comfy feeling

This is a spacious, country setting type location with a beautiful garden and everything you could ever need in the kitchen and dining and even some games and books in the lounge. It had a lovely warm and cared for feeling. The bathroom was very modern and the kitchen had a view of the garden. The owner was friendly and helpful.

Beautiful interior and comfortable accommodations.

It is a perfect home to relax in. I would have appreciated milk and sugar for coffee and tea provided. Price was very reasonable for no internet or tv. I didn’t know washing sheets and towels was required. Couldn’t find laundry soap. No dryer. I find it difficult to get out of an accommodation by 10:00 a.m. without cleaning. I personally, would rather pay more. It is a vacation, not a working vacation.Thank you for sharing your beautiful home.

Had to cancel the booking due very poor condition and dirtiness of bedding and linen.

We had to check in bit late due to the delay in our arrival time. After checking in to the property really late we found out bedding and the linen were very dirty and smelly. We found dog hair/ human hair even in between sheets. Also very dirty and smelly pillows.We called the owner of the house and she asked us to send some evidence so we sent the photos. We asked for a full refund due the reasons mentioned above but we received only the owner’s portion. Please organise to pay the balance. This was a very frustrating and unpleasant experience for us. Do not recommend to pay the full price of your stay before you check in.

Well located for walking the beautiful Abel Tasman Park

Well located for walking the beautiful Abel Tasman Park. Quiet and colourful garden in relatively secluded area. Spacious for two, seating not generous for larger parties. Facilities are somewhat sparten and tired and a few basic additions would significantly improve the experience particularly for longer stays (we stayed for six weeks). Excellent base for golf (Motueka golf club highly recommend) and prime trout fishing on nearby Motueka River.
