Tokongawa Retreat - Views, Pools, Serenity!
Experience serenity at Tokongawa Retreat, a luxurious escape with breathtaking sea views overlooking Marahau's golden sands and Abel Tasman National Park. Nestled amidst native Kanuka and Manuka forests on an exclusive headland, this holiday home offers tranquility and convenience.
Minutes from Kaiteriteri and Marahau, and a stroll from Split Apple Rock Beach, it's the perfect base to explore. Descend your private trail to the shoreline for coastal adventures like swimming, snorkeling, or fishing.
Birdsong wakes you each morning, and amenities like an infinity-edge pool, hot-tub spa, and expansive decks with panoramic views elevate relaxation. Indoors, find a fully-equipped kitchen, Starlink WiFi, a home gym, SmartTV, and comfortable bedrooms with dedicated bathrooms.
This inviting retreat boasts 3 air-conditioned bedrooms accommodating up to 8 guests comfortably. The Master bedroom offers a King bed, a spacious walk-in robe, and a dedicated bathroom, providing stunning views over the swimming pool to the sea. The second bedroom features a Super-King bed, an ensuite bathroom, and captivating sea views. Bedroom 3 presents Queen bunks (Queen over Queen), ideal for a cozy rest. With 3.5 bathrooms, including dedicated facilities for each bedroom - an ensuite for Bedroom 2 and a separate bathroom for Bedroom 3 - plus a powder room, convenience and comfort abound throughout the home.

We had a great stay. The house and property are even prettier than the pictures. The kitchen was well appointed and even had an espresso machine. Views were spectacular and a short drive into town.
Beautiful view. Nice private walkway down to shoreline. Enjoyed the pool and spa. Had amazing weather to enjoy relaxing outside. House is warm, beds comfortable. An enjoyable weekend away.
Excellent accommodations. And yes the views actually look like the pictures, no creative photoshop going on here. If you can afford it go for it. This would be perfect for two families sharing, or one large family. Bring groceries as outside of coffee there's pretty much nothing else in the place.
