Tree House Marahau a sanctuary in a lush valley bordering the Abel Tasman NP.

Escape the noise and reconnect with Nature.⁣⁣⁣
Welcome to the Tree House on the property of the Big House! A perfect place for rest & reflection, quality time with family & friends or as a refuge after an adventure in the Abel Tasman National Park. ⁣⁣⁣
Originally built in 1970, the property was completely rebuilt in 1998. This renovation added two-story decks, a kitchen, and two extra bedrooms to create the spacious house it is today.⁣⁣⁣

We invite you to experience a true eco-retreat. Here, you will sleep to the sound of the river, bathe or shower under the open sky, and live in harmony with a community dedicated to connection, sustainability and slow living.⁣⁣⁣

Marahau’s nourishing facilities ⁣⁣⁣

The Barn – The Creative Hub: A rustic, open-air space serving locally roasted Tuatara Coffee Beans and offering a quiet zone for writing, reading, or meditation. It is a place to slow down and let the rhythm of nature guide your day.⁣⁣⁣
Abel Tasman Yoga: Just meters from the entrance to New Zealand's Abel Tasman National Park you will find a purpose built, well equipped Yoga Studio. Ingrid Wagner offers classes & workshops worthwhile joining.⁣⁣⁣

The Big House Eco-Ethos ⁣⁣⁣
We are committed to minimal impact and maximum connection.⁣⁣⁣
Sustainability: From our composting toilets to our commitment to reducing waste and eliminating single-use plastics, we aim to make choices to support & protect this precious land.⁣⁣⁣
True connection: There are no TVs here. Instead, there are books, decks, rivers, and saunas.⁣⁣⁣
Quiet & Respect: To honor the community and the wildlife, we ask for quiet hours after 10:00 PM and no parties. This is a place for restoration, not recreation.⁣⁣⁣
Supplies: The nearest full supermarkets are in Motueka (25 mins). We encourage you to bring your own supplies to minimize travel and support local sourcing.⁣⁣⁣

What to expect during your stay at the Big House:⁣⁣⁣
Deep Rest: Comfortable beds with heating and electric blankets available to keep you warm amidst the cool Tasman winters.⁣⁣⁣

Why Choose a stay at the Tree House? ⁣⁣⁣
When you seek a luxury hotel with room service, this is not for you. But when you crave an authentic, earth-connected experience where you can shower outdoors under the stars, sweat in a fire sauna, drink good quality coffee nearby, and wake up to the sound of the Marahau River, you have found your home.⁣⁣⁣
