Beautiful Golden Bay
The house is comfortable and well equipped. A very short walk to the beach for a play in the water during high tide. Lovely sheltered deck to hide from the weather if desired. Walking distance to Pokhara. Easy drive to Albel Tasman and heaps of other local sight seeing and activities. Takaka is big enough now so that a stop in Motueka is unnecessary for buying groceries.
