Vacation rentals with a fireplace in Motupipi

Helen Margaret had a lovely home. It was very spacious and well furnished. Kitchen had all the appliances and tools needed to have some home cooked meals. We enjoyed coming home each evening to just relax after a day of adventure. Thanks for sharing your home with us.

Lovely home. Close to all that Nelson offers. Very comfortable stay. Host attentive and thoughtful.

Fabulous, as always. Thanks for our "home away from home".

What a pleasure to stay in this very beautiful place. I felt at home and relaxed after a full on week in Nelson. Elaine and Stu are the perfect hosts! Merci!

A beautiful haven among the trees and the birds. Ina was so welcoming and helpful and we felt very at home. The kids loved the garden with the trampoline and rope swing. It's been our favourite Air B&B of the trip!

One of the best beachside places in the world that I have ever stayed at - and I’m nearly 54 - so I’ve stayed at a few!!

We will definitely be back. We loved staying at Jill's place. Clean, tidy, pictures match reality and has everything you need. We stayed for three nights with 4 adults a three year old and a baby. The two master bedrooms and two bathrooms mean there is space for all. The sleep out is a nice added bonus. The outside areas (there are three to choose from!) encourage outside dining and socialising. Multiple places for wine and cheese in the afternoons. We also loved that there is plenty of comfortable seating in the lounge and the kitchen was fully functional and user friendly. The BBQ worked well and the swing ball outside was much loved by our three year old. Within walking distance you can reach the water front, tennis courts, local bars and the camp ground that has a new playground. Jill is a super responsive proactive host. We are already looking forward to visiting again.

A wonderfully unique property in a beautiful location. We had a brilliant stay with our family at this homely and picturesque spot. There were great places to eat and drink within walking distance too. We would love to return one day!

Valerie and Ewan were very friendly and a highlight was their spectacular garden. We were very lucky to be able to help ourselves to the abundant veggie patch. Lots of yummy treats left for us on arrival. Good small supermarket, a couple of pubs and the amazing bakery. We had a very peaceful Xmas/New Year here.

Beautiful period cottage in central Nelson. A fabulous place to stay - quiet but near restaurants and town centre. We loved our stay at Jason’s place. Highly recommended

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 quiet spot with lots of space and privacy

Great hosts, and a lovely space to enjoy. Full kitchen was great. They gave lots of local recommendations and were always helpful. Would stay there again!

Great place to base yourself for the attractions close by. Beautiful clean spacious apartment. Would highly recommend to others.

Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

Very well equipped house for a family holiday, had everything we needed. Gorgeous location close to beach, national park and the shops we needed. All 7 of us had a great stay!

Perfect house for a group get away, very clean, had everything we needed and a lixury to each have our own room and bathroom

We loved our stay at Golden Bay Lodge in our private Bach accommodation. Perfect location half way along Golden Bay to access all its treasures & experiences. Super close to Mussel Inn for an awesome night out. Would definitely return to Golden Bay Lodges, especially for the Spa at night under the stars with moonrise & incredible sunrises across Golden Bay 🤩

We stayed for a full week and used the house as a base to explore Nelson and surrounds, Havelock (where we took a boat into the Sounds and Blenheim / wineries. After a day exploring, and some days when we didn’t leave the house, we lapped up the views and quiet time - card games, reading, cooking, drinking great NZ wine. The sauna and wood fired hot tub was amazing especially when the skies were clear. The views are spectacular! The drive up the hill is as described (terrifying in the wild wind and rain we had!). Make sure you book a 4WD or an all wheel drive as NZ weather is famously unpredictable. Great hosts who thought of all the small touches and were super responsive.

Great place to stay. We were a group of 9 and we all had plenty of space. The location is a short walk to a Four Square and the Māpua wharf where there are plenty of eateries to choose from and lovely artisan and gift stores. Jane was a great host who communicated well and provided local recommendations. Would happily stay here again.

It felt like home very quickly. Comfy beds. Beautiful period rural house in a large garden with mature trees. Easy to find a quiet spot under a tree to read a book. Plenty of parking. A good kitchen and laundry. Fresh plums and heaps more in a welcome hamper. The cats were adorable. They called by for some food and a pat a few times a day and then disappeared into the garden. Too many pluses to mention (and we stay in a lot of airbnbs). Negatives which are hardly worth mentioning would be road noise - not too bad and you don't notice it after day 1 - and the kitchen knives were not terribly sharp.

A wonderful stay at Jonathans’ place. We arrived to find the fire had been lit and the place was cosy warm. Everything you need for a family getaway is here. The beach is a short walk down the road. Farewell Spit and surrounding walks are a short drive. The property is set in a beautiful garden. Very homely and so the rain didn’t dampen our stay.

Fantastic historical home in a quiet area, walking distance to many parks, restaurants, and shops. Clean and comfortable and full of character. Everything you need for a lovely stay plus some special touches that really made it feel like a home away from home. Cozy bedrooms, well equipped kitchen, and lovely outdoor areas to enjoy too. Perfect base for exploring Nelson!
