Apartment in Marahau
4.88 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviewsCosy apartment at the beach, Marahau - Abel Tasman
Brenda’s accommodation was outstanding in a fabulous beach side location. Right next to the launch area for the kayaking and walking trips in Marahau. The property was spotless and had a strong welcoming smell of polish as soon as I entered. Facilities were exactly as described. Perfect spot for a relaxed or active stay in the Abel Tasman.

4.96 out of 5 average rating, 136 reviewsStraw bale house by the sea
Absolutely loved our stay here! The house is so unique, well decorated, fun and beautiful. The furniture is comfortable and lots of it. The beds have clean, gorgeous linens. The property is spacious, private and just gorgeous. The owner really thinks of the little details to make your stay comfortable. You are a 10ish minute drive to town and a quick walk to a private beach. We already booked another stay here and will be back many times!

Cottage in Waikawa
4.87 out of 5 average rating, 62 reviewsTui Cottage-Waterfront cottage, Waikawa Bay/Picton
We had the most amazing time at Tui Cottage. The house is perfect for a relaxing getaway with an almost private beach at the bottom of the garden. It catered perfectly for us with our 13 month old toddler. The house is well set up for a relaxing getaway. Tash was very responsive to any messages we sent. We will definitely be back to stay again!

Cottage in Canterbury
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 122 reviewsK'orca Cottage by the sea.
Stunning views! We were there during some rough weather and it was worth it to be able to sit on the comfy chairs and look out the window. We saw the most dramatic sunset over the mountains from those chairs!

Apartment in Tasman
5 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsLuxurious -Private-self contained cottage
We found the Clifftop Retreat cabin suited our needs perfectly and Bob provided an excellent level of communication, service and local tips. He also ensured the pantry and wines were stocked with high quality local products. The accomodation was very good with comfortable bed, terrific functional kitchen and amazing clifftop views of the surrounding bay and local area. The location was perfect for our walking trips up into the Abel Tasman National Park and also fantastic local restaurants and wineries. Bob also organised a pick up from the airport for us as we arrived late at night. Overall a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend Clifftop Retreats very highly.

Great 1950s style beach bach. Stunning location. The perfect place for a winter or summer family holiday.

We loved using the kayaks on the inlet.

Great house! Plenty of space and you really can't beat the location. The serenity and privacy of Monaco Peninsula and a short drive to Nelson City, the beach, Rabbit Island. Plenty to do!

Would highly recommend this great little spot! We are a family of 4 and it was just perfect! Beautifully and thoughtfully decorated home that felt like home to us for the few days we were there.

This was a great place to stay in Kaikoura for myself and my two friends. The apartment had everything we needed and was an easy walking distance to restaurants. I would recommend booking somewhere for dinner to avoid having to wait. I would certainly recommend John's place.
