home away from home
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!

Sunny Spot
The perfect spot for a peaceful evening and a good night's sleep. A quiet neighbourhood, a cozy room , very comfortable beds, even the blanket was switched on, thanks for that Susan, I really enjoyed my stay.

Birdsongs for Breakfast, Idyllic Modern Guesthouse
Exactly what was described, plenty of birdsong and a front row seat to watch fantail and other natives.

Dehra Doon Chalets, 3
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!

Oka Cottage, Peace and Tranquility
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.

Kenepuru Cottage - Mount Richmond Estate
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.

Harakeke Hill, near Motueka
Lovely stay in stunning peaceful surroundings, perfect for exploring Abel Tasman Bridget was super friendly and greeted us on arrival Super clean, spacious, attention to detail Would recommend and stay again

Hawk's Ridge Redwood Valley
From the moment we stepped out of our car we felt comfortable at Hawk"s Ridge. Mary and Paul (Leo too) are fantastic hosts. The apartment is spacious, clean, and had a lovely well stocked kitchen with so many goodies full of guilty pleasures (homemade cookies and truffles, and wine :) Paul and Mary's recommendations for places to visit in the area were spot on. We would love to come back should we find ourselves in the area. Thanks again!!

Ruby Bay Guesthouse
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 😊

Kanuka Bush Retreat
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!!

Aunty Bill's Orchard Cottage
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.

The Gardener's Greenhouse - Self contained BnB
Sally and Bruce's place was absolutely wonderful! A great place to call home during our road trip (especially after a very long day of hiking in Abel Tasman). Not to mention, the bed was very comfortable! We had the best time.

Countryview Haven
Lj is a wonderful host. We were well looked after but still had privacy. Excellent breakfast with great coffee. Really lovely accomodation that was thoughtfully and stylishly appointed, but practical with a warm and inviting feel. We really enjoyed our stay. Thank you so much. Very highly recommended.

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

The Lookout
We wanted private, we wanted affordable luxury, we wanted to be no more than a few minutes drive from the centre of Nelson. We got this. The view is fantastic! Additionally, Sara was super responsive, I realised I needed an iron for that evening and Sara organised this for me without fuss or stress. Thanks so much, certainly will stay here again.

Light and sunny studio with views and hot tub
I had a wonderful stay at Wendy and Tony's guest studio. It's well appointed, tastefully decorated, comfortable and set in a beautifully landscaped garden. Soaking in the hot tub each night under the stars was the icing on the cake. Wendy and Tony are very welcoming and attentive hosts. Highly recommended

Ruby Blue Beach House - Modern Coastal Living
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!

Seymour Sleeps: 1 Bedroom Apartment with Pool
lovely family lovely place very cosy

Our Little piece of paradise
Very cozy and tidy unit. Lovely set up and the beds were super comfy.

Boutique Cottage for an Intimate Escape
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!

Private fully furnished guesthouse
Chinh & Tri were generous enough to let my 17yr grandson stay at their place by himself and even offered to drive him around if needed. He had a very pleasant 3 nights there, apparently the bed is very comfortable and everything is as described. Many thanks Chinh & Tri!

Park-side Studio Apartment on the Reserve
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!

Totally Coastal! Modern studio at the Glen.
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.
