We are located in Marahau at the southern end of the Abel Tasman National Park which is renowned for its golden beaches, sculptured granite cliffs, and its world-famous coastal track. The track starts at Marahau and Totaranui and also provides access to the Inland track system. We have a mild climate and is a good place to visit at any time of the year. At 22,530 hectares Abel Tasman is New Zealand's smallest national park. It's located at the top of the South Island; the nearest towns are Kaiteriteri, Motueka, Takaka and Nelson City.

There are regular and on-demand bus services to Marahau from local towns and from Nelson as well as a launch and water taxi services based in Marahau.

Marahau is a sunny valley located one hour from Nelson. The focus of our local community is tourism. You can kayak the Abel Tasman National Park, swim with the seals, enjoy a leisurely wine trail, take a water taxi cruise into the National Park, race around the hillside on 4WD motorbikes, visit the Ngarua Caves, paddle out into Tasman Bay in a stable sea kayak with our Independent Guides, freedom rental or guided tours, enjoy leisurely walks on the golden sand beaches, ride a horse across the beach, admire the local arts and crafts on display or just relax and soak up the atmosphere at our cafe.

Your stay at Old Macdonalds Farm will be as relaxing or as adventurous as you want it to be!
