Great property! Close to Motueka, Kaiteretere, Able Tasman National Park, and a reasonable drive to Nelson etc. Beautiful view over the estuary from the master bedroom, lounge and deck, and the kids enjoyed exploring the estuary at low tide. Two outdoor areas to use depending on wind / shade etc, good kitchen, large dining table.. a well set up and comfortable house. We had 7 Adults, two teenagers and two children.. a bit of a squeeze but all fitted in somewhere and were comfortable. We even had friends arrive in a caravan for part of the stay, and there was room to park the caravan on the lawn next to the house. We didn't get to meet Nelly & Dirk during our stay, but they had given us a lot of information about the area and the Abel Tasman Walk, which we were doing straight after our stay in their house. We were able to store bags we weren't taking on the walk in a shed at the property, and pick them up when we finished the walk, which was a real bonus. The road is at the front of the property so there is a bit of traffic noise, but it is only intrusive when a particularly loud vehicle passes, and the double glazed windows at the front of the house can shut it out completely. A great base for exploring the region, and a great place to relax. We will be back sometime!

House was in great condition, well equipped and hosts were very welcoming. Only down side was the traffic noise but overall a great stay

AWESOME!!! BEAUTIFUL!!! PERFECT!!! We had the most awesome stay at Mariri, my husband 7 kids and myself We stayed for 4 glorious nights. The host are so easy to get along with. They are very hospitable and easy going. The location couldn't have been more perfect than where it is very private clean and tidy. The view is to die for. Waking up to that view every morning only some get to experience it and we were 1 of them. It is so beautiful I would like to thank you so much Nelly Dirk and Simon. You have such a lovely home. Thank you for our lovely warm stay. We will be back again don't know when but will let yous know. On this note I would highly recommend Mariri Magic for families with littlies you would not be disappointed. I would rate Mariri overall stay 10/10.
