Located in the heart of Tasman, one of New Zealand’s most beautiful regions. The cottage's size, character and central location, make it the perfect retreat for couples or families.

The cottage is situated in a quiet rural setting in Mahana, the Heart of Sunny Tasman's Coastal Belt.
Couples will love the private and cosy intimate setting, Children will be easily entertained, and Pets will love the space.
Children can easily entertain themselves with the playhouse, sand pit, trampoline, toys, games, DVDs, and we also have the family dog, ponies and goats who would all welcome attention during your stay.

Stay in and relax at the cottage with under floor heating for added comfort and warmth in the cooler months.
In the Summer months enjoy BBQ meals at the outdoor table setting while listening to the Tui's chattering, enjoy a walk around the property, visit the Glow Worms, or venture out and enjoy the many activities the local area has to offer.

A sample of which include:
* Relaxing on the local Golden Sand Beaches or Kayaking Abel Tasman.
* Visit Local Wineries, and Restaurants. , Mapua Wharf Award Winning Restaurants 7 mins drive.
* Ski Rainbow or Hike the Kahurangi, Abel Tasman, or Nelson Lakes National Parks.
* Relax with a Beer at any of the local Craft Beer Breweries - The Craft Brewers Capital of NZ.
* Cycle 'Tasman's Great Taste Trail' or Mountain Bike at Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park.

Whether you would like an active holiday or a relaxing break, stay for a while and enjoy all the region has to offer.
Special conditions:
* Pets stay free with prior approval.
* Minimum 2 nights stay on Public Holiday Weekends, and Peak Season.
* Due to a tornado that affected the property at Easter, for safety reasons the forest immediately surrounding Beech Hill and around the property have been removed, yet the native bush by Beech Hill remains. Thank you for your patience while the property is redeveloped.

Post wedding get away
Beautiful location and home. Nic was a wonderful host. Great communication and lovely to meet her when we arrived. The house was so cosy and had everything we needed. Bonus that we could bring our fur baby with us. We just wished that we had more time there (lots of family time post wedding). Would love to come back and stay again!

Wonderful stay
Beech hill was a fantastic and tranquil place and we loved every moment of our stay. The property was clean and well appointed and the dog also loved the wonderful surrounds. The hosts were great and the opportunity for the kids to feed and groom the horses was an added plus. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

Home away from home
Cozy, clean and full of adventure for the whole family. ( including our puppy ). Such a beautiful setting with the perfect amount of tranquility. We were only 35 mins from home but felt further away. The space was perfect for our family of 4, comfortable beds and facilities. This property has everything you need. We loved visiting all your precious animals as well. We will be back !

A gem located so close to Nelson
Such an amazing property with great hosts. You feel like you are very far from the hustle and bustle of the city but yet so close. Mapua is like a 5 min drive. Our family was here overnight for a Mother's day getaway and we had everything we needed. Nic had taken care of everything. Its a 12 hectare property with horses, goats, ponies and even glow worms. Its perfect for kids Absolutely loved staying here. Will be back for a longer stay. Thank you Nic

Great wee property set in secluded woodland setting. The property owner Nic was on hand but certainly not obtrusive - just made sure we were all set and then left us to it. This is a really lovely place, nicely appointed and super clean.
