Harakeke Boutique Accommodation

The peace and privacy.

Can't think of anything.

Nach unserer dreiwöchigen Rundreise auf der Südinsel, war Harakeke Boutique Accomodation der krönende Abschluss! Angefangen beim freundlichen Empfang durch die Eigentümer, über das perfekte, hochwertig und modern eingerichtete Apartment, der tolle Whirlpool auf der Terrasse, der Grill und vor allem: das Frühstück! Donna stellt jeden Tag Natur– und Früchtejoghurt, Obst oder Obstkompott, frische Milch, Brot und verschiedene Aufstriche in den Kühlschrank. Sehr schön ist auch, dass die Nespressokapseln sehr großzügig aufgefüllt werden. Wir haben jede Minute unseres Aufenthaltes genossen und können die Unterkunft jedem empfehlen!

Wir mussten leider zu früh abreisen!

We had an amazing time at Mike and Donna's place. The hosts are very friendly and have created a lovely appartement to enjoy yourselves in. All facilities are of the highest standard (e.g. extensive range of kitchen equipment). We loved the view from the room and made use of the jacuzzi and barbecue multiple times. Also very useful to be able to use the washing machine to clean your clothes. Probably one of our favourite places we stayed at in New Zealand. Would definitely recommend anyone to book a few nights here!

Super nice and spacious apartment in a beautiful location. The host was super welcoming and prepared a very nice breakfast for us. Everything was really clean and we loved our stay here.

N/A

We had an incredible stay at Mike and Donna’s. The property is beautiful and they had thought of everything we could possibly need for our stay. Special mention for the breakfast! Also lovely touches like leaving us some vegetables from their veg patch. They were delicious on the BBQ! Wouldn’t hesitate to stay there again if we were back for more Abel Tasman hikes!

Everything was perfect

From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by warm, friendly, and inviting hosts, Donna and Mike, who made us feel right at home. The property itself is a serene oasis, nestled in a picturesque setting with breathtaking views of the mountainside. We truly was able to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The natural beauty surrounding the accommodation creates a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere. Accommodations- Our accommodations were nothing short of top-notch. The attention to detail in the rooms was impressive, with comfortable beds, modern amenities, and thoughtful touches ensuring a luxurious and relaxing stay. Culinary Delights- Mornings at Harakeke were a treat, as we looked forward to starting our day on the patio for breakfast. The spread included local fresh fruits, jams, cheeses, homemade chutney, and bread, showcasing the best of New Zealand's local produce. Evening Relaxation- As the day wound down, we found ourselves drawn to the spa. Sitting in the warm waters with a glass of local wine while admiring the setting sun was truly magical, offering a perfect end to each day of our stay. Local Exploration- One of the highlights of our visit was the wealth of local knowledge shared by our gracious hosts. Donna and Mike provided many lovely suggestions for exploring the area, from nearby walking trails to recommendations for the best local vineyards and cafes. Their insights truly enhanced our experience and allowed us to discover hidden treasures we might have otherwise missed. As we reluctantly packed our bags at the end of our 3-night stay, we found ourselves already planning our next visit. The combination of exceptional service, beautiful surroundings, and luxurious accommodations has made Harakeke Boutique Accommodation a must-return destination for us. We look forward to booking and visiting the area again in the near future, eager to create more wonderful memories in this slice of New Zealand paradise.

If I could change anything about our stay at Harakeke Boutique Accommodation, it would be the duration of our visit. 3-nights simply weren't enough to fully appreciate all that this exquisite retreat and the surrounding area had to offer. The serene ambiance, breathtaking views, and warm hospitality from Donna and Mike left us yearning for more time to explore and unwind. Next time, we'll definitely book a full week to immerse ourselves in the tranquil beauty of the property, savor more of those delightful breakfasts on the patio, and take advantage of all the local attractions our hosts recommended. A full week would have allowed us to truly indulge in the property's amenities, especially the inviting pool. We could have spent lazy afternoons lounging by the water, taking refreshing dips, and soaking in the stunning mountain vistas. The pool area proved to be an ideal spot for relaxation, and we regret not having more time to enjoy it fully. A longer stay would allow us to fully embrace the relaxed pace of life and create even more cherished memories in this slice of New Zealand paradise.

There isn't the vocabulary to describe this exquisite accommodation. Having travelled extensively and always chosen carefully, this has raised the bar in every way. The size, decor, amenities, facilities, the location and view are simply stunning. The attention to detail is second to none. In addition to this the added bonus are the owners whose hospitality goes way beyond the extra mile, they care for your every need without being intrusive and the cherry on top are those special homemade treats. Thank you so much Mike and Donna for making our stay truly perfect in every way. We will be back.

We had to leave!

This is a stunning property that is well equiped for everything you need to have a relaxing stay. The platter and drinks on arrival are great and helps you start enjoying the property. The property was finished to a very high standard and well appointed. The apartment feels private and could not fault anything. The hosts are friendly and really helpful. The location is surprisingly close to lots of activities and places to eat and a good base to explore from. We loved enjoying the rural view from the Spa pool and waiting for the amazing stars to come out.

Couldn't think of anything we didn't like except having to leave at the end of our stay.

Everything. High quality fixtures and furnishings. Lots of space, indoors and out. Donna and Mike were excellent hosts. Hot tub with stunning views. Excellent location, quiet but easy access to the coast and the hills. Generously stocked fridge. Locally made jams and chutneys. Pétanque and swimming pool . One of the best places we have ever stayed.

Nothing - apart from having to leave.

the hosts, Donna & Mike are so friendly and go the extra mile to ensure your stay is memorable and comfortable

nothing it was perfect, our every need was met.

We loved how quiet and relaxing it was to stay here. Donna and Mike were such wonderful hosts. They went above and beyond, providing great breakfast choices and much more, with cold drinks being an extra treat as well. Loved the swimming pool and watching the sun set from the spa. Thank you so much for making our stay so lovely.

Everything about this place is amazing! Mike and Donna were so accomodating and their property is breathtaking. Everything is even nicer than the photos. The breakfast, along with everything else provided was top tier. Our only regret was not staying longer.

N/A

We loved the breakfast, snacks, and welcome drinks on arrival (beer, wine, cidar, soft drinks). Breakfast included fruit, 2x types of yummy yoghurt, cereals, toast & condiments, fruit juice, Nespresso coffee. It was excellent, and was replenished every day during our stay. The location was excellent - out in the countryside with rural views across the fields to the mountains. A real escape from the city. The accommodation was excellent - high spec bathroom & kitchen facilities, towels were provided for the bathroom, spa pool, and the beach. Everything you could possibly need, had been thought of and provided. It was a very luxurious home away from home, and we look forward to staying there again. Our hosts, Donna & Mike, were also excellent - friendly, nothing was a problem - really great.

The accommodation was fantastic. There really wasn't anything that we didn't like.
