A lovely place near Abel Tasman NP.
Orchard View Cottage, is a great place away from all the tourist atractions but still near Abel Tasman NP. We stayed there for 3 nights with no noise from cars etc. overlooking the kiwifruit orchard of the owners. There are chickens running around but they do no not bother you. Sox, the cat comes to visit you every evening after you' ve been travelling to the nearby National Parks. You have your own bbq and a sundowner terrace to set whilst having a sip of NZ wine. We would love to go back but the Highlands of Scotland is a bit far. Maybe in 5 years time, you never know.
Thanks Kate.
