This property is private and is set in the bush on a hill so is away from the hustle and bustle of Kaiteriteri in the summer but close enough to be able to enjoy the cafes and beautiful beach at the same time. It's a great place to recharge and reset and enjoy nature. The native birds were amazing.

Great property, Challenging communication
The property is well located and comfortable. It has everything that you might need. A few places show significant wear and tear but overall it is quite comfortable.
Towels and linens are only available for an additional cost and beach towels are not included. Be clear what bed configuration you are expecting.
It wasn't clear to me from the add that the 2 bedrooms are upstairs.
The property management company was a challenge. It took several emails/texts to get answers to my questions prior to arrival. Then, we had agreed to meet at 3 but rather than meeting me she hid the key on the property which I only found out after waiting for 15 minutes and then calling. She also showed up at the property unannounced.
We really enjoyed our time at the house and it's proximity to Kaiteriteri Beach and Abel Tasman. Nice views as well.
We’re so glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us! We really appreciate you taking the time to leave us a review, and we hope to see you back again soon! - Scotty
