Wits End Golden Bay S

Summary:
Charming Kiwi Beach Bach with Fantastic Beach and Ocean Views

Bach or holiday home, 3 Bedrooms, 1 Bathrooms, (Sleeps 6)
A few steps over the road from WitsEnd and you are walking on the golden sands of Ligar Bay which is a beautiful, safe, sandy beach. No having to drive to the beach, you are already there. If you forget the sun lotion it is only steps back to your welcoming bach. Ligar Bay is approximately 10 minutes drive from Takaka, a short drive to great walking tracks, the northern gateway of the Abel Tasman National Park and local attractions You can check out eateries in nearby Pohara or further afield if you want to combine dining with exploring Golden Bay. You can launch your boat at nearby Tarakohe Harbour or at Tata Beach or you could take a leisurely paddle around the Bay on WitsEnd's kayaks, maybe out to the Tata Islands to spot the seals or potter around in the Estuary at high tide. WitsEnd is furnished for comfort and that special 'holiday feel'. To enhance your stay, there are also mountain bikes available for exploring nearby areas and board and card games to bring out the competitive holiday spirit.

The Space:
Dine out on the balcony overlooking the water or out the back to keep the cook company at the BBQ. You will be drawn by the ever changing sea views and the relaxing atmosphere of WitsEnd.

Older style, great views, great location and very clean
We (two adult couples) stayed here with the plan to walk the northern parts of the Abel Tasman track. It was perfect for that! We then spent the evenings sitting on the deck enjoying the wonderful views.

Right across from a beautiful safe swimming beach. Very clean and well organised house.
We loved our stay. House had everything we needed for a great summer holiday. Was so handy being able to hop across the road to swim and use the kayaks. Loved Waking up to the beautiful views! Close to lots of wonderful places to explore. Great communication too. Would love to come back again one day. Many thanks.
