Lovely quiet spacious home in Tata

A great house for a larger group or family. We loved the location right on the beach, the pool room, the large lounge, sunroom and deck. The house is aging but clean and tidy and warm. Would stay again with a family.

Beautiful Getaway

Property is located in a great spot just one house from the beach. Had everything we needed for a great vacation. We spent 3 days in and around Abel Tasman and this is an excellent location for accessing the park and other tracks in the area. The house is well equipped though an online or physical manual would help with things like wireless connection and check out instructions. If ever in this area again, we would definitely stay here.

Excellent

The property is located in a beautiful spot everything was spectacular, the views, the comfort of the house. If people were to have infants they just need a child proof gate for the top of the stairs. We will definitely stay here again and also recommend to others. 😁
