Vacation rentals with beach access in Queen Charlotte Sound / Tōtaranui

What a lovely little spot. Less than a 5 minute walk from the beach, with lots of local restaurants within a 5 minute drive. The apartment itself was a good size and was stocked with everything we needed while we settled in. We would have happily stayed longer if we could.

Our stay in Nelson was absolutely incredible! The flat is stunning—beautifully designed, with a breathtaking view and a gorgeous garden filled with colorful flowers. Watching the sunset from the terrace was simply magical. The lovely family hosting us made our stay even more special, welcoming us with a bottle of wine, delicious chocolate, and a beautiful bouquet. Such a thoughtful touch! There’s even a swimming pool, though unfortunately, we couldn’t use it due to the windy weather and our short stay. We truly wish we had stayed longer—this place is a gem. We would 100% recommend it to anyone visiting Nelson and would love to come back!

Joanne and David were very generous and kind hosts. We enjoyed their company very much - it was as if they were long lost friends. The apartment was high quality with luxurious touches. A fully functional kitchen was supported by a large range of pantry items and treats. Probably the best Airbnb bed we have ever slept in. Great wifi and television with a range of program options. We were permitted to garden forage which supplied us with a huge amount of fruit and herbs. Private parking for our car, washing machine and deck with BBQ made for a very enjoyable and memorable stay.

We had a great time. Weather was not great so we ended up spending a lot of time in the apartment and enjoyed it very much.

We have had the most amazing stay! The apartment is even better than it looks in the photos! View to die for from the enormous balcony, super comfortable beds, high end appliances & friendly accommodating hosts… we don’t want to leave!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! Great location, very comfortable lounge and nice outdoor area too. John's apartment is very well equipped with everything you need for a lovely holiday. The bedroom upstairs is fab and the bed was super comfy. Our boat is in Waikawa so we couldn't ask for a more perfect location. Thanks John!

Outstanding views of the water from sunrise to sunset. Jenny was very attentive as our host. The loft was very well equipped to meet all our needs.

excellent place, well appointed with very nice views

We enjoyed our stay at Vicki’s. The evening sunsets were amazing. We enjoyed playing cards on the deck. The beds were very comfortable. We were glad to have a car to drive to some lovely beaches, groceries and restaurants.

This is a little gem of a place and we absolutely loved staying here. It was handy for both Havelock, Picton and the wineries but also a little haven to come back to at the end of the day. Stunning views from every room. Liz was lovely and went above and beyond to add some welcome extras. Many thanks for letting us share your lovely home.

Very spacious house with nice private outdoor patio space and plenty of parking. Fully equipped kitchen to prepare meals. Walking distance to great local pub/restaurant and lovely level track into Picton Marina. Minutes from the ferry. Lynda was an awesome host. She checked in with us throughout our stay to make sure we always had everything. Will come back again.

We had a great long weekend at the house catching up with long time friends. The house privided ample room for us all to have our own space, and was very comfortable for lazy afternoons in the sun. The house is well equipped with all neceasities and is in a great location for local amenities and ofcourse the beach!

A very lovely stay. Charming decor. Spacious and homely. Views to die for. Neat swimming off beaches and jetty. Thank you.

Beautiful views and plenty of amenities

Caroline’s home is spectacular for so many reasons! She has a beautiful home inside and out and the decor was top notch! Caroline was a very gracious and welcoming host … will definitley be back!!! Thank you Caroline we truly appreciate you!

We enjoyed our stay here. The view is incredible and we loved being able to access the waterfront and use of the kayaks. Margaret was so nice and was always quick to respond to any messages. The property matched the description and photos.
