A gorgeous house with super comfortable couches, massive dining room table, OK outdoor furniture.
Great kitchen set up. Good for entertaining.
Is on the corner of road to Totaranui, and has footpath right next to house. Reasonably well screened but not entirely private.
A five minute walk to beach, via a path with high steps or a 10-15 minute walk down the quiet road. It also has a partial view out to Ngawhiti island (Mãori = the baler). Shame the house over the road blocks most of the view.
We found the location good: easy to pop in to Tākaka or drive to Totaranui and walk a bit of the Abel Tasman, or head north and visit the Te Waikoropupu springs. Tata beach itself is lovely. Paddleboard and kayak hire, coffee cart & ice creams at north end of beach, super clear water.
2 beds are only suitable for children or extremely short adults. These are only accessible by walking through the two inside bedrooms.
Instructions for oven, espresso machine would be helpful, we couldn’t find a manual for the oven/hob online - if one of us hadn’t used induction hob before we would’ve struggled to work out.
Also oven control markings are worn off so didn’t quite know if we were turning on bake or grill. Scones got a bit blackened!
Good selection of kids DVDs but DVD player in lounge didn’t work. Perhaps the one in the sleep out works?
Could do with a bit of TLC: skirting boards falling off in kitchen and main bathroom.
