Family-friendly vacation rentals in Nelson City

We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing home. The views are spectacular and the location was convenient to Nelson Tasman area. Kitchen was well stocked, hot tub was nice after long days mountain biking. Would love to return soon!

A lovely and well thought out space. We felt very at home. The location was handy to get in and out of Nelson, and the view was stunning!

Great place to base yourself in Nelson. Was close to everything and a short walk to an amazing beach. The house was great, perfect size and great for the dogs - the only truly fully fenced property I’ve been in and didn’t have to worry about the dogs finding a way out. Private as well - loved it there and would stay again.

Amazing spot up on the hill overlooking Golden Bay. s Super close to the Pohara shops/restaurants. the views from the hot tub are amazing and catch the sunset beautifully. Perfect place to relax after exploring Golden Bay.

Another amazing holiday in paradise! Couldn’t ask for better, thank you!

Kiwi Greenie was the best place for a quiet weekend away from life. Lovely bike rides & beautiful waterfall walk all close by. Wee slice of paradise.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.

Absolutely loved our stay!! The perfect getaway. Loved the space and the area. Spent hours in the bath tub under the stars. Will definitely be back.

Can't get better than this. Carol was an exceptional host - lovely to speak to and responded quickly and we could tell she wanted us to have the best stay possible. The place itself was spotless and cosy. We felt instantly relaxed. Stunning location and everything you could want from an air bnb - it was clear that everyone involved in keeping this accommodation running takes great pride in sharing this special place with others! Thanks again ✨

well it's a perfect little paradise everything is close supermarket...fast food.. gas perfect thank u again

We loved our stay of 3 nights here, we were wanting somewhere a little out of town with peace and quiet and that’s exactly what we got. However only took us 12 mins drive to get into Motueka. Beautiful setting with lots of trees around but still nice and sunny. The house was immaculate inside and hosts had thought of and provided everything you could need. Especially loved that they allowed us to take our 2 dogs with us. Thanks so much! Can not fault a single thing, and would love to return next time we are back in Tasman area.

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

The location of this home is incredible! Beautiful sunsets, close to penguins and a number of stunning beaches and hikes. Check out the baby fur seals, caves, natural spring, waterfalls and abundant bird life. Piwakawakas at every hike! Garry was very accommodating and responsive. Rent with confidence!

We had a beautiful second stay at the sandcastle. Loved the peaceful setting, birds and animals on the property. Pizza night was fabulous and Steve was incredibly gracious with our two boys and even took them blueberry picking. Thank you for taking extra care and checking in to ensure our stay was so special. Our boys said this was their favorite place we’ve stayed yet!

Great place for our family group, the large family bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs suited our families requirements perfectly. Great secure outdoor space for kids.

Kate gave very clear instructions so we were able to arrive safely and were able to find the place easily as we had a long drive and arrived quite late. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming despite our late arrival the night before. Additional plus were the awesome welcome given to us by their pet dogs, Chloe and Amber!

Beautiful house in great central location. Everything is nearby and in walking distance. Comfortable guestroom with own bath. And most important: a super lovely hosting familiy. We enjoyed our stay so so much. Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful stay at Vintner’s retreat, the home is very comfortable, spacious and has a fully fitted kitchen with a lovely outdoor space overlooking the vineyards. We had a lovely swim in the pool too

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

Great stay at Gina and Martins place. Super responsive hosts and brought us tasty filter coffee for the mornings. Absolutely stunning views and super clean property. Highly recommend staying here. Peaceful and tranquil

Fantastic place to stay. Lovely and peaceful but very handy to great vineyards some within easy walking distance.

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.

Cute little cottage feel, would happily stay again.

One of the best airbnb we've stayed at. We're a big group from Christchurch and the Castle was able to accomodate our needs. Big kitchen, plenty of amazing rooms & toilets, a big living room and the whole place is just so amazing and peaceful. Glenys & Kevin was very kind to accomodate me & my team. Good communication and everything was just smooth. Hoping that we can still book this for our next competition in Nelson for 2024. Highly recommended and would love to stay here again :)
