    Great location. Well equipped unit. Spacious. Shelley was a lovely and helpful host. Gave us so many good tips we stayed longer in Golden Bay. We heard Morepork at night and (maybe) Kiwi.

    The location was wonderful, just we were unable to climb up the hill, because of age! We will certainly go back again.

    Very nice view across Pōhara and the bay. Well equipped kitchen. Shelley is a welcoming host and had given many tips on sight seeing, dinner and activities. Ask her about the Wednesday Walkers if staying midweek.

Beau Vista Pohara is a private and fully self-contained apartment in the heart of New Zealand's popular holiday destination of Golden Bay and the Abel Tasman. If you are looking for some R&R or for a convenient base to explore all the wonderful sights and delights that Golden Bay has to offer, then this is the place for you. The views from both the house and the apartment are to die for - more breathtaking that the photos can show. We welcome you to come and stay.
I'm an earnest multitasker and a happy eclectic. When I'm not hosting guests, or wordsmithing and marketing, or relaxing at the beach with family, I'm snapping happy with my camera, collecting images for future paintings. I also enjoy tending to and adding new culinary ingredients in the garden, while dreaming of our next adventure. Family, creating, and learning are my joie de vivre. The world is full of wonder to be enjoyed and shared. We love to help and ensure our guests feel welcome and happy. I even speak a little French and German and will happily practice these with anyone. We look forward to meeting you. :)
The nearby Pohara Beach is the warmest in the area as it slopes away very gently for a few hundred metres, making it ideal for small children. Close to the beach are tennis courts, a small store providing a wide range of goods and services, a slipway suitable for launching small boats, and some spectacular limestone cliffs popular with rock-climbers. There is also a great choice of restaurants, cafes and bars in Pohara including "Molly B's", "The Nikau", and "Ratanui Lodge". Plus a garden sanctuary cafe at the Aroha Health Spa where you can enjoy a massage and relaxation. Within 10 minutes drive of this holiday home are Tarakohe marina, with a launching ramp for larger boats, the golden sands of Tata Beach and Ligar Bay, a nine-hole golf course, and Takaka township for that spot of shopping therapy. Pohara is a great base for all the other Golden Bay activities - bush walks, sailing, fishing, river swimming, Pupu Springs, the Anatoki Salmon farm (catch your own salmon!), and the Abel Tasman National Park (a paradise for kayakers, and world famous for its walking track and golden sand beaches). You can also visit the spectacular Farewell Spit and Wharariki Beach.
