Top of the Park

Golden Bay Hideaway is currently the only accommodation option available at the Northern end of the Abel Tasman Coastal Track. Walkers can now come right through the park to Golden Bay and not have to worry about finding transportation into Takaka.

Wainui Bay, Abel Tasman

All three accommodation options are located on the same property in Wainui Bay, Golden Bay. Situated at the top of New Zealand’s South Island and adjacent to Abel Tasman National Park, Wainui Bay has a slow pace of life with an abundance of natural beauty.

Kiwi Lifestyle

Many elements of New Zealand life the way it used to be, are still remaining in Wainui Bay. There’s a small family run farm, lots of native birds, no shops and people still have time to go to the beach.

Not Too Far Out

Just fifteen minutes drive to Pohara's cafés, shops, bars, galleries and other urban delights. Golden Bay's main town of Takaka is 25 minutes away.
