About this property
Quality home with stunning beach and magic views
Located next to one of New Zealand's most beautiful National Parks, Abel Tasman National Park, this modern architecturally designed home is situated right above the famous Split Apple Rock Beach. The house sits among native bush, ferns and kanuka trees in one of the premium sites in the Abel Tasman. Access to beach is via a easy walking, wide and private track through mature native bush. The house has 3 large bedrooms with the main bedroom with spectacular views. Decks extend on 3 sides. Stunning Split Apple beach is a 5 minute walk via our private track The house has three different decks which can be enjoyed according to sun and time of the day. The house and surroundings are peaceful and private and quiet apart from the native birds chirping in the surrounding trees. The house is in a safe neighbourhood surrounded by native bush with most properties having beach access. Properties are widely separated for privacy. The beach at Split Apple is world renown, safe swimming, clean and beautiful with golden sand. Our house has fantastic views, sunrises to die for and access to this beautiful beach through some stunning virgin native New Zealand bush. There is no close public transport, although transport from nearby Maruhau and Kaiteriteri is available. Water taxis also leave from these destinations to go up into Abel Tasman National Park. Private water taxi can be arranged and these will pick guests up and return them to the beach below the house. It is best to arrive by car and ample parking is available.
NEW: Just completed, are two new bathrooms allowing each bedroom with their own ensuite, new outdoor furniture, new balustrade and a number of other improvements to the property.

The water is drinkable and filtered (UV), but if guests have concerns, they should buy bottled water. Split Apple Rock Beach is a public beach and at times there can be a number of people on the beach which they access by sea or a public track.

Loved our stay here. Split Apple Tock was magic and the views were good for the sole. Beautiful home, spacious, sunny and very comfortable. Would definitely stay again.
Adrienne's group left our house tidy and reasonably clean. We have learnt that we need to be more prescriptive in some of our instructions around leaving the house and handling the rubbish and we will do this to make it easier for guests going forward. Although there was a miscommunication on the payment side this was quickly resolved by Adrienne. On this I think VRBO could be more helpful to assist guests and hosts with updates. We Ould however still recommend Adrienne's group to other hosts
Excellent property, well set up, very clean and fantastic location. Owner really easy to deal with. Absolutely recommend and look froward to staying again in the future.

Great guests and left the house tidy and clean .. highly recommended
Well equipped with stunning views. The private track down to the secluded beach was special. A wonderful place to watch the early morning sunsets and we were luck to see the full moon rising on over the horizon. Great swimming, paddle boarding and ecology. Would stay again!

Karen's group were great guests, being very respectful of our house and leaving it very tidy and clean when they left. They kindly pointed out a couple of things that we need to attend to which is always appreciated. I would recommend Karen to other hosts.
We were here 5 years ago and were so excited to come back!! The house has amazing views from decks and the master bedroom and the house itself is architecturally beautiful. We had our own private walkway down to split apple beach and the walk down is tropical and lush. Our host, Andrew was very helpful and easy to communicate with. We hope to come back!!

It was a pleasure to host Jacqueline's group at our place. They left it clean and tidy and as such we would recommend them to other hosts.
Absolutely loved our family holiday to a beautiful part of the country. Private walkway to beach was stunning as were the views. We would definitely try to book in again. Thanks
The setting and property provided the perfect family Christmas. The house was extremely well set up for us, down to a beautiful Christmas tree ready for our presents. We’re so happy with our choice of holiday home. Thank you.

We're glad that you had a nice Christmas and enjoyed the house and location. Thank you also for leaving the house tidy and clean.

Flawless house that feels a million miles away from normal life. Views are simply incredible. House has quality fittings and furnishings. Kitchen is very well equipped. Would recommend unreservedly!
Our family of 5 stayed here in May and absolutely loved it. Having to change our original dates from March proved to be no problem for Andrew - even though the house was usually closed for the season by May. We really appreciated this!!! The house is lovely, well equipped and perfectly located. Would love to return one day.

Monica's family were great guests to have stay. They looked after the house very well and left it very tidy despite having to leave at 4 am to catch flights! We would welcome them back again and would recommend them to other hosts.
It was an absolute pleasure to stay at Andrew’s house! The whole house was beautiful, but we especially loved the huge wrap-around deck! Perfect to relax on at any time of day, with the most amazing views.
Andrew was very responsive to communications and made check in and check out extremely easy for us. Thank you for sharing your lovely home!!
We have just spent four nights in this idyllic location. The house is spacious, very clean and well appointed. We appreciated the well stocked kitchen, the private pathway to the beach and the provision of a detailed compendium. Also appreciated was the easy communication with the host, Andrew. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wish we had of booked for longer. We highly recommend this rental to others seeking peace and tranquility in a beautiful location.
Andrew’s house was outstanding, far outweighed our expectations. The views were incredible from each of the deck areas, plenty of space for everyone in our group. Each bedroom having its own ensuite was so great. The house and outdoor spaces were well appointed to easily accommodate for a group. We loved the private track down to the beach, and are so grateful for the use of the paddleboards. Thank you for sharing your piece of paradise.
The only downside of this property is that we had to leave! Better than pictured. A beautiful modern home with unparalleled views, and on top of that… with private access to Split Apple Rock beach. Very quiet, well equipped, and excellent communication with owner.
A good location to head out for the day to Cape Farewell. The road into the area has lots of twists and turns so we chose to eat in. Easily done with great appliances and BBQ.
While on the upper end of our budget, this place does not disappoint and was worth every penny (or pence).

Donna left the place in fantastic shape .. very clean and tidy as if they hadn't been there. We couldn't have asked for better guests and as such would highly recommend them to other hosts
We had the best family holiday in this wonderful spacious private house nestled on the hillside in the most stunning location. It was so relaxing, soaking up the sun on the deck, which had incredible views including stunning sunrises. The house is well equipped and has lots of features to enjoy. The private path through native bush to the beach was such a bonus for us nature lovers, the beach itself so inviting we swam everyday. Your pathway showcases the iconic Split Apple Rock and you arrive on the beach to the best photo spot. The house was a joy to stay in. Super clean with quality linen and plenty of towels. Loved it so much. You wont be disappointed if you choose to stay here.
The views from this deck cannot be beat — it is truly a stunningly located house high on a bluff over Split Apple Rock. There is a lovely path to the water, about tens mins down the hill through the forest. It super quiet around. The grounds are pretty, windows everywhere. The bathrooms and bedrooms were very lovely, modern, and comfortable. It is remote and requires some very winding roads to get to any amenities, but that is also what makes it special. It’s probably best to plan to cook meals there, although there are restaurants 15 mins or more away. We really enjoyed our time there!
A beautiful bach with superb interior and breathtaking views. Everything required for a luxury escape. The private bush walk path down to the beach is a delight every day, 10 minutes of peaceful bird song in the shade of the native trees. It’s a bit tricky stepping off the walkway onto the beach for small or less mobile family members. A wee extra step would help, but a minor issue in a perfect set up.

Thank you for your nice comments and thank you for leaving the house very clean and tidy. It was really appreciated. Yes, a step would be good and we plan to get that done and widen the lower part too so room for a small boat/laser.
Thank you
Andrew
We had a wonderful holiday in this well kept home that the owners take allot of pride in. Stunning house with an equally stunning view of the ocean. Beautiful sunrises. Nice and private with great easy access to the beach. Close enough to kiterriterri without having to worry about the holiday crowds. Great parking for the boat and cars.
Highly recommended and look forward to returning.

Neil's group were great people to have stay, communicating well and leaving the house clean and tidy. As such we would highly recommend to other hosts.
We had an amazing stay at Split Apple Rock in Andrew's house. The house was very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. Andrew was great to communicate with. Highly recommend.
Amazing property with stunning views you will never tire of. We had a really lovely family holiday here. Enjoyed the lovely bush walk to the beautiful beach, made good use of the lovely decks and the location allowed us easy access to the Abel Tasman National Park. Would highly recommend this property.
