farm attractions ...

Set on 300 acres of farmland, there is a lot more than meets the eye at Thackwood Cottage. Take a hike out in the fresh air and explore all that it has to offer. This special retreat on a fourth generation farm includes a spectacular walkway with fabulous views overlooking the picturesque Tasman Bay and Abel Tasman National Park. Take a stroll up into the rolling  foothills and discover farm animals and bird life.

You could spy a sole heron preening in a field, or stumble upon a herd of cattle on the way to the milking shed... a mother duck feeding her ducklings on the pond, or farm dogs sternly mustering black-faced sheep in a paddock overlooking the sea.

There’s lots to discover at Thackwood Cottage, only metres away from your accommodation. Saunter for a few minutes and you’ll be glad you did.
