From Nelson airport, take Highway 6 South through Richmond.
At the Richmond roundabout, take the right exit to Highway 60.

Just over the Riwaka Bridge, there is a right-hand turn signposted to Abel Tasman National Park via Kaiteriteri and Marahau.
Drive through the Kaiteriteri settlement. Sandy Bay House is on a private road/drive approximately 800 metres(half a mile) up the hill past the end of Kaiteriteri beach, past Breaker Bay and Honeymoon Bay.
The private road/drive to the house is on the sea side of the coastal road, named Kaiteriteri Sandy Bay Road, and is recognisable by a sign for the Bellbird B&B.
If you reach the Ngaio Bay private road you have traveled too far.
Drive up past the Bellbird B&B to Sandy Bay House at the end of the road/drive.
