Ridge View
We had a lovely 3 night stay at Marie & Andrew’s place. The spa was very new and had amazing views at night of the stars and also out to the coast. Apartment was very tidy and well equipped, nice comfy bed and they provided some baby items for our 5 month old and were very accommodating. The kitchen has everything you need to cook as well. The area is very peaceful and private away from the main roads but close to Motueka for shops and restaurants. Marie & Andrew gave some great recommendations for things to do in the area and cafes etc which was very helpful. 10/10 would recommend this apartment. Thanks again for a great stay!

Luxurious -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.
