Kath is a friendly host who immediately made us feel welcome with a basket of goodies for breakfast. The studio has a lovely feel about it and the view is amazing, beautifully furnished and very clean we found it a great base for exploring the area.

Great spot!
We stayed at La Bella Vista for a couple of nights while we explored the area. Great location close to some great restaurants and sights - including Abel Tasman. The unit had everything we needed for our stay. Everything was spotless. We enjoyed sitting outside and soaking in the great view. Also loved the continental breakfast!Cathy was a great host and kept us in the loop before and during our stay. Would definitely stay here again when we are back through.

Stunning!
Absolutely perfect little studio with a jaw dropping view. Kathy was friendly and helped us get checked into the studio with a little tour. It’s quite a small space, so if you have lots of baggage like we did, it might not be the best fit. I loved the Dawson walk nearby.
