A beachfront villa with serious WOW-factor, it will be hard not to fall in love with La Casa Al Mare!
With a generous garden that backs directly onto the shores of Golden Bay, the views and the summer living are nothing if not impressive. Whether you're dining outdoors or your wandering back and forth from the beach, it's a treat!
La Casa Al Mare is the Italian translation of 'the house by the sea' which perfectly sums up not only the location but the unique style of the house it's the fabulous character.
This wonderfully inviting home is set on a large partially fenced section on the far edge of a working farm, so the land has been well-landscaped and offers mature shady trees, fruit trees, a picturesque pohutukawa tree, and lush flowers.
The interior has all you need to make the place feel like home, including a spacious open-plan living area downstairs, WiFi to post a pic of the view, a Smart TV for entertainment at the end of the day, a wood-burning fireplace for winter getaways, and of course the BBQ for classic summer meals hot off the grill.
Golden Bay is considered the sunniest place in New Zealand, so make sure you head out to explore this beautiful region. For the keen adventurer, Salisbury Falls, Tata Beach, Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks are a scenic drive away, and well worth the visit. You'll also be a short drive from the heart of Takaka village, where you'll be charmed by the museum, movie theatre, and quaint shops and cafés.

The property on the whole was great that suited a large family. The property manager was very helpful and friendly in helping us out with a couple of technical issues. Nothing major. A very enjoyable stay. Would recommend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a positive review! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed your stay with us and we hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future. Thanks again for choosing to stay with us!
Overall a wonderful place to come with your family. Great location to relax at the beach! Plenty of space for everyone to spread out too. However, did look like it hadn't been occupied for a while so the rooms had many spiders and webs, and the fridge was smelly so would have been nice if the cleaning had been a bit more thorough. All in all we were happy with the place and are keen to come back again.
