Paradise by the Park

Marahau Village is paradise without the tinsel, the crowds and the fuss. Colourful traditional beaches line the shoreline road giving a sense of peace and a deja vu mood of summer's past. Marahau's long sweeping beach offers safe swimming for the youngest family members and sheltered waters for most of the year.

As the gateway to the world famous Abel Tasman National Park, Marahau offers a comfortable and peaceful base. Take a day or extended tramp into the park or explore the golden sand beaches on the turquoise waters of Tasman Bay. There are seals to intrigue, islands to enjoy and lagoons to discover.

The backdrop to our village consists of charming rural farms, forestry, lush native bush, birdlife and a sense of peaceful permanence with it's year round community of farmers artisans and tourism operators.

For those with shopping withdrawals... the town of Motueka is just 20 minutes away and Nelson an hour away.

With a range of accommodation from four star motels and chalets to camp sites near the beach or in the valley. Marahau is a holiday experience where we provide the peace, and you choose the pace.
