We are one of the only PET FRIENDLY accomodations in Golden Bay, dont leave your best friend at home bring them along! This really is your home away from home.

Feed the vibrant birdlife or the local eelsfrom the bridge - This is a small, springfed stream, which flows just to the west of Takaka’s Commercial Street and into the Takaka River. It was a small Maori eel fishery area and was an outdoor playground for local children to boat, fish and swim in.

The water supply to the house is from a bore and so you will be drinking some of the most pristine water for which Golden Bay is famed, just out of Takaka are the famed Te Waikoropupu Springs which are well known for their crystal clear pools unseen anywhere else in the world.

    An older property but very clean and has everything you need, and in easy walking distance of central Takaka.

    We loved the atmosphere here. While just a few minutes walk from the shops, the house had 1940s (?) charm and a great woodburner, plus lovely views of trees, stream and hills... Plenty of room and great cooking facilities. We really enjoyed our King's birthday weekend here.

    We really enjoyed our stay in your house. It was really comfortable and had lots of character. It was just a short walk down the road to takaka township from the house. Unfortunately most days it rained on our holiday in Takaka, but we were very warm and cosy in the house with a blazing fire going :)

    While I didn't have a problem with the accommodation. Communication fell short. A month before final payment a request was sent to change booking from 5 to 4 people. Nothing happened. This request was sent again and still nothing changed. I felt that I was ripped off as request was sent within the allotted time.

    Very warm and cosy home. Lots of heaters and a great fire. Bedding was good quality and a very well stocked home with everything you needed. Would definitely stay again. A bbq would be a good addition

    We really enjoyed our stay, it was convenient and easy. Beds were comfy and the fire was much appreciated - especially with all the ready cut wood. Downside was only 4 dining chairs and kitchen could be better equipped. Thank you for a lovely stay.

    Property was well stocked , kitchen , linen lovely wood fire. Plently firewood. Shower could have been better but adequate. Would have been great to have a DVD player but otherwise close to town and dog friendly.
