Any recommendations? Esp for those savvy with outfitting kids?

Campsite/bach rental recommendations?

Hiya - the thread below has a few recommendations on it - I've only used Golden Kayaks near Pohara and they were great.

Great link back to SamB's thread...any other family-friendly outfitters?

How about rustic-but-clean lodging in Abel-Tasman?

The Pohara Top Ten is in a great location and clean and friendly. We'd definitely use their chalets again:- http://www.poharabeach.com/virtualtour/entrance.htm#tourtop

We loved our bach. It was cheap and cosy, just inland from Motueka, I'll try and look it up and put the link on here. It was in the middle of a kiwi plantation and farm ... now WHAT was it called .... grrrr....

It was not fancy, the shower was a dribbler, but the owners were very friendly, the kids had the run of the farm and there were 2 kea that landed on the roof at dawn. We liked it alot.
