Guesthouse vacation rentals in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

Beautiful, tranquil spot, well set up studio and lovely hosts 😄 It would be hard to find a more pristine swimming hole!

Thank you so much for letting us stay! Iveta met us when we arrived, welcomed us warmly, and ensured that we were settled at the accommodation. The airbnb was just what we needed for our short stay, was quietly tucked away, but close to everything we wanted. Thanks again!

Exactly what was described, plenty of birdsong and a front row seat to watch fantail and other natives.

We stayed in Chalet 3 at Cherie and Rodney’s place and are so happy with our choice. It was very peaceful and private sitting on our own deck overlooking the orchards and towards the sea. The chalet was very homely, spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The friendly sheep visited us often in the paddock straight off the deck. Cherie and Rodney’s place also had laundry facilities and a barbecue to share with the other two chalets. Parking was ample and easy to use. Our hosts were quick to respond to texts and very friendly when we needed help. This property is in a great location with easy access to Abel Tasman NP and the lovely towns on the coast. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to the Riwaka Resurgence. We hadn’t heard of this gem before but it was highly recommended by Cherie and Rodney. Don’t miss it! We highly recommend staying at Cherie and Rodney’s. If it’s available, grab it!

Lovely place to stay with a friendly host. Not too far from Nelson and surrounding attractions but feels amazingly private and peaceful - and we loved being able to say hello to the cows! Pool was a great facility for hot summer afternoons and the cottage had everything we needed and nice spacious rooms.

From the mo-ment we arrived, we knew this place was legen-dairy! The attention to de-tail was im-moo-culate, every inch of the AirMooBnb was absolutely moo-rvelous. If you’re looking for a place that herds you away from the chaos of everyday life, this is it. It's the cream of the crop!

Perfect place to stay in Nelson. No negative things to say.Thanks Nick

It was a wonderful stay at Robert's. The cabin was immaculately clean. Robert was on site to meet us and was extremely friendly and welcoming. The property itself was spacious enough for us, without being too big. Everything was well stocked too, some milk in the fridge a nice touch. Had two gorgeous dogs that lived there and wander the grounds, so soft and were excellent with our two boys. We extended our stay as we were very happy with location and property. Would happily stay again.

The Bach was quite large and roomy, front bed comfy, with a large well stocked kitchen! Nice shower!Everything was spotless. Pete was a good host and easy to talk to. It’s a 15 minute walk to the beautiful waterfront , with several trails to hike nearby. Although one can park in the driveway , we preferred using the grass in front since the space between the stairs and hedge is narrow. Very safe quiet neighborhood.

Beautiful and spotless accommodation - lovely outlook. Had everything we needed and everything was furnished with high end fittings and furnishings. Lovely linen and bedding. Well stocked kitchen. Thanks for making our stay comfortable and hopefully will come again when the weather is better 😊

This amazing cabin is the perfect, cozy spot to get away from it all and recharge! You are fully immersed in nature and it’s such a peaceful, grounding place with an incredible view. I loved the outdoor bathtub and shower so much. Best bath of my life!! Rachel is such a gem and was so open and friendly right from the start. She knew I was alone on my birthday and invited me up to have a cup of cacao with her to celebrate. It was such a thoughtful and sweet gesture and I’ll never forget this amazing cabin or host. One of my favourite Airbnb stays ever!!

Nicola and Andrew kindly accepted our very last minute request. Their cottage is delightful in every way. Cosy, tastefully furnished and equipped with everything we needed including a coffee grinder. (A first on our travels) It was the perfect place to base ourselves as we explored the region. The breakfast goodies in the fridge plus fresh produce and eggs were gratefully received by us and reflect the fine hospitality on offer here.

Lovely property. Our Volunteer crew loved staying at your place! Thank you very much!

Wow, what a peaceful spot with beautiful views of garden, hills, and sea in the distance. The ambience of the house and surrounds was so relaxing. Even just staying for one night we felt refreshed. The house has everything you need, is spacious, clean and modern with beautiful features and touches. The bed was so comfortable right down to the pillows and sheets. There are books to read and games to play. LJ is so very hospitable, having the delicoius breakfast options we could order as part of the price made an amazing start to the day. LJ will even make you dinner at a reasonable price if you don't feel like going out. We enjoyed a woodfired pizza at the Rimu Grove Wine Bar. Its great to have so much to see and do close to the accommodation. It would be amazing to visit in summer with the beaches and walks so close. As it was my husband still took a cold plunge in the pool on a 0 degree morning. The house was still warm despite the outside temperatures. Thanks LJ.

A very spacious property in a very peaceful and spacious environment. Very comfortable beds. Charlie our Labradoddle loves the spacious lawns and trees.

The view from The Lookout is amazing, even when it rained for most of our stay. The place was immaculate, high quality and the bed was extremely comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our stay at this Ruby Bay beach house! We had the bad luck of visiting the area during 3 days of autumn rainstorm, but Lynette & Den’s place turned out to be the perfect refuge. If anything, the space was larger than the photos made it seem and the amenities were nicer. The kitchen was well-equipped, the couch and bed were comfortable, the in-unit laundry was great. Lynette and Den were friendly and gave us helpful recommendations of things to do in the rain. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer!

Great cute place, loved the spa and the pool room. Bed was so so comfortable. Thanks Paul and Anne!

Very cozy and tidy unit. Lovely set up and the beds were super comfy.

We had the pleasure of staying at Pear Tree on Bronte for 5 nights. It became our home away from home after a very busy couple of weeks exploring the South Island. We did lots of day trips from the cottage, and it was so lovely to have a beautiful place to come home to each afternoon. It has a very comfy bed, and an amazing shower (with great hair products! ) Very generous provisions provided by Lynn. And the deck… Comfortable furnishings, roll down blinds, and an ever-changing view of the beautiful estuary. Plentiful birdlife, a beautiful garden, and amazing star gazing made this place so special. Thanks Lynn!

Had a great stay thank you! Very tidy, quiet and peaceful Airbnb. Would definitely stay again!

This was not my first stay so I knew it was exactly what I needed. As expected, it was comfortable, warm, safe and conveniently located with friendly but not intrusive hosts. Also a bonus is their dog who is very sweet and also friendly!

We loved our stay for two nights , peaceful location , but still handy to everything . Lovely bnb , really comfortable bed! Would highly recommend. Craig and Rebecca are great hosts.

I had an amazing stay at Rivington Cottage. Sally Anne and Ian were superb hosts - they were friendly, responsive, and always available to answer questions or resolve issues. The cottage had everything I needed, including fast internet that enabled me to do work while I was there. The cottage was quiet and peaceful. I enjoyed sitting in the sunshine outside, listening to the birds and looking out at the picturesque view. I also really enjoyed my walks around the large property, including through the feijoa orchards. It was an easy drive to and from town but still felt like a countryside retreat. I can't recommend Rivington highly enough!
