This may be the most beautiful experience we had on our three week trip to New Zealand. This home is an absolute delight with unbelievable views of the bay. Comfortable and homey with excellent instructions for visitors. Please take the time to go to the nearby EcoResort for the glow worm walk. Stunning and natural but bring a flashlight! Best coffee nearby is Queen of Cups!

A great property with stunning views

The property is on the 2nd level of a hillside house overlooking the beach. The views are simply amazing. At night all you can hear is the waves. The property is modest and very clean, with all that we needed for our stay. The kitchen and bathroom are small but amply for our family of 3. There are 3 comfortable reclining chairs in the lounge area which were great for us. The area does has a couple of restaurants that are in walking distance eating but we found that we ate in all of our nights there as we couldn’t get enough of the view. We enjoyed the balcony in the mornings and the evenings. A convenient location for visiting the Abel Tasman area.

Unreal Views and Literal Steps from the Beach

A wonderfully old-world charming property overlooking the beach of Kaiteriteri. Literal steps down a cute path to the beach and walking distance to the town. Make sure you have shower items (shampoo, body wash/soap, etc.) with you as we did not and had to procure some as those are not provided. Overall a fantastic location and we enjoyed our stay.

Idyllic location

Idyllic location positioned on Little Kaiteri beach. Wonderful view. And well equipped for a holiday. Enjoyed ease of visiting the Abel Tasman from here. A very rainy five days over Easter, so more time inside than ideal, and didn’t get to use courtyard as too wet, but still a lovely spot).

Beautiful beach view home

We had a wonderful stay in Kaiteriteri. Easy check-in process, all amenities for cooking meals, laundry, and parking. A great deck with views and just steps away from the beach. So close to Abel Tasman NP, kayak and boat trips. Can't wait to come back!
