The house itself is beautifully appointed and comfortable with gorgeous views. Each evening we spent sitting at a different table in the house or on the front or back patio. We have never seen such a variety of citrus fruits which you have in the garden too. Thank you very much for all your hospitality to us and our family.

Read More...The most breathtaking home set in a spectacular location. As soon as we came up the driveway we knew this was going to be a very special experience. Peaceful, green and spacious - it was just us and the beautiful selection of birds. The neighbours were so friendly - we hiked with the legendary Derry (next door) and visited Jo Ward’s art gallery a few doors down. Ligar Bay was amazing - golden sands and so much to do and explore. Every day was an excursion - a few times to Able Tasman for runs through forests and along beaches (more birds and seals). We also ran from the house and found lots of adventures! We visited the Rawhiti Caves (incredible) and some springs. Everyone we encountered was so friendly and welcoming. Food and drink wise - so much on offer! We went to Toto’s Pizzaria just a few miles up the way - off the grid and worth a visit!! Takaka was an excellent town close by - we loved all the cafes and restaurants: Wholemeal Cafe (have the vegan patty or vegetarian sausage rolll), Dangerous Kitchen (pizzas!), Dada Manifesto’s (prawns, asparagus, parmesan fries… it was all very special), Roots (wine and IPA) and up the road also to the Mussel Inn (IPAs and cider). The Kiwi Distillery is also a must do - Jeremy was fantastic fun and we left with a few very excellent bottles of gin! We really did fall in love with Chris and Anna’s home in every way. We loved how light and airy it was, beautifully decorated in keeping with its location on the coast. Sitting on the decking on an evening with a glass of wine and simply listening to bird song was wonderful. Everything was immaculate and so comfortable. Thank you for letting us share your home and introducing us to the wonder of Golden Bay. I think we both left a small piece of our hearts behind :) Jo & Chris

Read More...Nous avons passé une semaine délicieuse dans la très belle maison de Chris et Anna, au bord de la mer, entourée d'un parc où orangers et citronniers embaument. Il y a de nombreuses excursions à faire aux alentours, dans l'Abel Tasman park, et la petite ville de Takaka est pleine de charme. Nous avons eu le plaisir de rencontrer Chris le jour de notre départ. Une approche très séduisante de la Nouvelle Zélande. We had a wonderful stay in Chris and Anna's beautiful house, at the seaside. The Abel Tasman park is very close, and the little town of Takaka is pleasant with its restaurants and shops. We were pleased to meet Chris at the end of our stay.

Beskrivelse af vores byttebolig
Kia Ora from New Zealand,
We would like to arrange a non-simultaneous exchange with our holiday house in the beautiful Golden Bay - 'The Heart of the Parks' at the North West tip of the South Island. Our holiday home is situated on the edge of Ligar bay lagoon, which provides perfect kayaking, paddleboarding and swimming conditions when full (available for your use). Ligar bay beach, and Tata Beach are both 5 minutes walk away, wash the sand off at the end of the day in the out door shower.
Abel Tasman & Kahurangi National Parks are in close proximity offering fantastic bush walks, swimming beaches & rivers. The area also showcases a wide variety of Arts & Crafts. The township of Takaka is 15 minutes away & Nelson City 2 hours drive. The people of the region represent the crossing of the cultures with many German, Dutch and English people visiting whom find it hard to leave. The demographics cover the extent from people who seek alternative life styles to New Zealands traditional farmers. There are many great unique cafes and restaurants for those who like to eat out in nearby Seaside village of Pohara and the Takaka Township. Seafood gathering is plentiful with mussels, pipis, oysters, and clams easily obtained in the Ligar Bay Lagoon.

Beskrivelse af omegn
Seaside, semi rural relaxed holiday area with good summer and winter climates. Being located between Kaharangi and Abel Tasman National Parks the area is a wonderful place to enjoy the natural resources from the land to the sea. Historically interesting with remnants of past goldmining days. Nearby township of Takaka has a great cultural diversity with many alternative and unique influences in food and art. The area is attractive to people from many countries who want to break out of the norm and experience a different, more self-resourced and sustainable lifestyle in many ways.

The Abel Tasman National Memorial which represents the first sighting of New Zealand By Abel Tasman, Himself is a short walk from our home. There are many bush walks, branching from our backyard in native forest/bush. The start of the Wainui waterfall walk is a short 15-minute drive away, along with many other tracks we can give you tips and tricks on. There are many unique and wholefood cafes in the local town of Takaka and Icecreams and Crepes sold on Tata beach during the peak summer seasons.
