A great place for a group to stay. Loved everything, loved the hot tub, etc etc. A bit spooked by the ghost in the main bedroom but once we discovered it was friendly we relaxed.

Home in Wainui Bay
4.92 out of 5 average rating, 165 reviewsKiwi Greenie, Passive House, Golden Bay
Superb location and view across the bay, peaceful location which even provided enough entertainment for 3 teens! (with no wifi or TV) Hosts were super responsive, friendly and helpful. Being dropped off to complete the Northern Loop of the Abel Tasman track was a bonus and well worth the 5 hour effort. Highly recommend the property, the location and the many walks nearby!

Home in Upper Moutere
4.97 out of 5 average rating, 30 reviewsRibbonwood Retreat, Upper Moutere, Tasman/Nelson
Thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay. Sue and Runar are lovely - super responsive and available if needed. The cottage is quiet and peaceful. Lovely view of the ranges from the road. Check out the WÄkÄ Trail about 300 meters from the front gate - spent many a quiet morning walking up that farm track - lovely panoramic views from the top of the gentle hill. The house is centrally located and a great jumping off spot for a variety of activities in the area. There are several good wineries within ten minutes and many have excellet restaurants/cafe's attached. Tasman village is very close and has a good coffee spot. Motueka is 15 minutes and has everything you'll need. We did several trips up to Able Tasman to day hike - about 25 minutes drive. Enjoyed MÄpua restaurants and craft/art stores also. The cottage has everything you need, and there's plenty of space. We also loved the chicken and grew quite attached to her over the course of the month!! Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Home in Lower Moutere
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 37 reviewsMariri Heights Tasman Coastal Retreat
We loved our 1 week stay for our summer holiday in Moteuka. We loved staying somewhere rural with beautiful views, but a quick 5 min drive to town. Yvette and Ross are such friendly hosts. Thank you for sharing your property with us. We all loved the pond area, warm enough to swim, paddleboard, or sit in our rings and relax in! The house was very clean and well presented. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Appreciated all the included things we could use in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry, makes a big difference not having to buy all of these extras. Wonderful big deck. The bedrooms did get hot at night for sleeping, fans were provided though and there is aircon in the living area. Smaller studio unit underneath the main house can be rented too if traveling with more people. Would highly recommend and would love to return one day. Thank you

Home in Richmond
4.91 out of 5 average rating, 117 reviewsBird's Nest ā Charming Sunny Family House
An absolute GEM - both the home and Ina & her family! There is not a single thing I could fault them on, it truly is a gift to have them open their home for others to enjoy. With all the home comforts you need to stay in, and several cosy nooks to settle into both inside and outside, you will be hard pressed to leave the house (and thatās saying something because Nelson is a stunner). Hospitable and thoughtful hosts who communicated excellently and were so accommodating and lovely. This weekend getaway was so desperately needed and your home was the perfect place to disconnect from lifeās busyness and truly relax. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us, we would love to come back! xx

5 out of 5 average rating, 23 reviewsCentral Nelson, 2 bed Studio Apartment
Great stay, we had the unit to ourselves which was private, as hosts were away. The parking was on the road, we used the BBQ for some cooking , but took electric fry pan to cook as we don't use microwaves, and cooked outside under the veranda that worked really well. weather was great. and had a lovely sauna and spa , a very quiet spot to relax, hosts were lovely and kept us informed throughout our stay. recommend 5 stars š

Great clean place! Beautiful quiet area. Hosts were very responsive.

Home in Rapaura
4.99 out of 5 average rating, 145 reviewsThe Twig, nestled in the vines
The location is to die for, among gardens in the vines. While itās remote and rustic, you wonāt lack for anything. The games room is brilliant for kids. Luke invites you to explore all the facilities of the property and we enjoyed the tennis court and swimming pool. The gardens are full of fruit (although not quite ripe at the time of our visit). You will need a car as it is a few minutes drive to any shops. Itās also close to some wonderful wineries. A highlight was a swim in the nearby Wairau River, refreshing in the Summer heat. Luke was away during our visit but still attentive and his family were available for any problems. A lovely place to get away from it all and relax.

Villa in Upper Moutere

Guest suite in Richmond
4.93 out of 5 average rating, 134 reviewsRoom for Two
Cindyās room for two is a lovely place for two that can come with a family feel as well. You are not just Cindyās guest, but her whole family makes it so you feel welcome. We have stayed there many times and will do so again should we return to Richmond New Zealand.
