Perfect setting, perfect holiday
We LOVED this house!!! Fabulous, modern, immaculate house just where you want to be! Perfect for a large family/friend group. Walkable to grocery store, park, beach & bars and restaurants at The Wharf! Latest fabulous appliances, incl a barista-quality coffee maker with extra beans as a gift. Lovely showers with great pressure. Real Clean and Green NZ inside/outside living with fully retractable windows/doors. Composting out back. So key to be able to do laundry and hang in the sun and breeze! Well-designed space to sprawl/relax/play. 8-yr old loved the trampoline, swing and pool. Emma was a great communicator and gave hiking recommendations and very kindly left snacks. Could not have been happier! Thank you for sharing your home. Made the trip amazing!!

Woodleigh - beautiful spacious large home and pool
A beautiful home and garden. We loved having our family holiday in Caroline's, we felt very comfortable there. Would highly recommend.

BayRidge, spacious and scenic.
It was a challenge to find a place that would fit our close family of 16 (adults and late teenagers) to celebrate the wedding of our daughter, but I am so pleased that we found Bay Ridge. We had a fantastic time , loved the gardens , the views and heaps of space. The short and scenic drive to Kaiteriteri beach was so easy as well as the walk to the delightful split apple rock and beach. It was such a pity that due to travel / arrangements we could not stay longer. Highly recommend the place and again thanx to Annie who is a fantastic host.

Tokongawa Retreat - Views, Pools, Serenity!
Stunning views, every minute in this beautiful building was amazing! The location is close to Split Apple rock, which was a cool mini hike. The Abel Tasman tour booths and pick up are less than a 15 minute drive away to book a trip out into the national park. There are penguins that come up to the property at night that are hilarious to listen to, we went to an aquarium a few days later and found a stuffed animal that sounded so similar that between our group we ended up getting three of these stuffies throughout the trip just because we'd heard them at this location and it was such a good memory to have made. I Wish we could have stayed longer. Hope we get the chance to again someday!

Panoramic view estate 3 min walk to Beach & Coffee
This property is everything one could ask for. The house is spacious which allows for privacy for all party members. It is an old house with a unique feeling one can appreciate. The house is very well equipped and the garden is spectacular. The view is breathtaking one does not want to leave the house! The host is lovely, very responsive and helpful! We would stay longer if we could . Very highly recommended!

Camelot Island Retreat
Paul’s house and setting matched our expectations from the listing. It was very clean, tidy, spacious, warm and nicely furnished. The lounge, dining and kitchen area looked out across the garden to the beach. Unfortunately it rained for most of our short stay so we didn’t take as much advantage of the outdoor setting and facilities as we might have otherwise done. Despite that our party of 4 adults and 3 children all enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and were quick to answer any queries we had.

Beach house
It was a lovely stay. Lovely home that was very peaceful and relaxing. Decor was amazing and nice and close to the beach

Coastal Bliss Cottage
Coastal Bliss Cottage was absolutely perfect, as was the beautiful setting of the surrounding property. Beatrice has thought of everything to make her guests relaxed and comfortable. The place was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Our yummy breakfasts under the pergola were such a treat and we enjoyed our conversations with Beatrice and Yves, who made us feel most welcome. While the cottage is in a peaceful location, we found it was within easy reach of cafes, restaurants and numerous activities in nearby Mapua and beyond in Motueka and Nelson. We highly recommend this delightful cottage as one of the best AirBnBs we’ve stayed at and would love to return one day.

Kaiteriteri Holiday home, Welcome
A beautiful and very well-equipped house in a wonderful location. Amazing vantage point over the coast. Access is very steep and narrow - in a Toyota RAV we felt that we were right on the edge of the roadway and had a lot of work to turn the car around to get out. The property is very close to Kaiteriteri main beach but removed from all the hustle and bustle. Walkable to several other beaches and a quick drive to Marahau and Motueka (with a good grocery store). Beautifully designed house that opens up to several outdoor spaces to sit and soak up the fabulous views.

The Birds Nest - Serene Hideaway
This is such a beautiful place and makes a great home base!! It’s only a few minutes outside Takaka, so it’s remote and peaceful but easy to get to town for supplies. The all wood cabin feel was so homey and it was nice to have a yard to walk barefoot in. Loved this stay!!

Spacious 4 bedroom Home in Stoke
The house was incredibly clean and well decorated. It had all the amenities you need for a weekend away. We loved the outdoor seating area to enjoy the sunshine. An easy drive into the city as well as local vineyards and restaurants. The lockbox made check in and out super easy. We will be back again!

Twin views
Samara’s place was beautiful with a gorgeous view and patio overlooking the coast. It was clean and had great instructions for everything. I loved the hike into town.

House @32
Caroline’s home is spectacular for so many reasons! She has a beautiful home inside and out and the decor was top notch! Caroline was a very gracious and welcoming host … will definitley be back!!! Thank you Caroline we truly appreciate you!

Totara tree house
We loved staying at Caroline’s! The heat pump was on when we got there so it was lovely and warm. We were only in Nelson one night but would have happily stayed much longer here!

Luxurious Adult Retreat
Ligar Bay is a fantastic spot, the changing tides provide so much diversity and interest - we kayaked, paddle boarded, walked and swam in the bay and at surrounding beaches and tracks. The house itself is very clean, with beautiful outlook and the garden is lovely. Furnishings and linen are very stylish and beds were comfortable. We found the lack of curtains/blinds a little challenging - there’s a skylight without a blind directly above master bed, one bedroom has no blind and the other had sheers, which provide privacy but no light. We love our sleep in holiday! We also missed having a dishwasher - some wouldn’t care. We appreciated all the pantry staples, great indoor and outdoor showers and water toys available for guests to use. A stunning place!

Spacious seaside home with a gorgeous view.
Enjoyed our stay especially the nice fireplace for the cold evenings.

The Old House ,Waitapu .
This house is just beautiful. It is in a brilliant location, just on the edge of town so you have everything very close by but the feeling your in the country. It is spacious & the garden is lovely. The bed was very comfortable & the internal decor gives it a very cosy, homely feel. Lovely place to stay.

Hartley Place Home - Richmond
John was fantastic, very accommodating of requests. House was clean, tidy and quiet.

Kaiteriteri Holiday Haven
Beautiful home, well stocked. We had everything we needed and more. The walk to the beach is about 15-20 minutes thru the Kaiteriteri Reserve - very nice. Quiet surroundings, beautiful natural area in the back.

Belle's Beach House
What a beautiful place, we had a great time! The views are great, beds comfortable, and everything you need is there. We loved having some toys there for our son too. Loved it

Moose Manor - Stunning Ocean View & Biking Trails
Our 2 families had a wonderful stay at Marina's. We would highly recommend it and hope to be able to stay there again.
