beautiful location
We loved our stay at the cottage. and were thankful for the generous provision of kayaks and life vests! Basics covered, a bit bare, no toilet paper/toilet cleaner, bin liners , No tea,coffee,sugar....and the bathroom is extremely narrow.We had the roadwork/cable workers right outside the front windows&deck every working hour and then peace and beauty for dinner :)

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Dorrington

Host profile image
We have owned and rented Beachaven Cottages for over 20 years.

I have lived in Nelson most of my life and enjoy the outdoor lifestyle. I'm a keen hiker and mountain biker so I can advise you on most of the tracks, National Parks and places to visit.

Why they chose this property

Beachaven Cottages are virtually beachfront. Just across the road is the beach and a reserve with wood fueled BBQ's. This makes it exceptionally easy to transport the kayaks, swim, picnic and enjoy the fabulous sunsets.

The beach is probably the calmest and most sheltered in Golden Bay. It is one of the few with golden sand which makes for clear water. You'll love it.

What makes this property unique

The Cottages have all day sun and a mild winter climate. However on cold days there is a heat pump for efficient easy heating.

The location to Ligar Bay beach has to be the best feature. Tata Beach, Wainui Falls and Abel Tasman National Park are a short drive from the cottage. Enjoy.
