Neighborhood info

We are the only accommodation at the northern end of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. There are many beautiful day walks like the Wainui Falls track, the Grove Scenic Reserve, Rawhiti Cave, Taupo Point and many tracks around Totaranui and into the National Park. We have an on site downhill mountain bike track for experienced riders which is free for guests to use. Safe swimming beaches are a short distance away, and Wainui is wonderful for kayaking, snorkelling, paddleboarding or kitesurfing. SUPs and kayaks can be hired from Golden Bay Kayaks at Tata Beach.
