Tiro Tai - Coastal Views
Amazing views, clean, and very comfortable!! We really enjoyed our stay!

Tasman Vista with Stunning Views and Spa pool
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!

Central Nelson, 2 bed Studio Apartment
Great stay, we had the unit to ourselves which was private, as hosts were away. The parking was on the road, we used the BBQ for some cooking , but took electric fry pan to cook as we don't use microwaves, and cooked outside under the veranda that worked really well. weather was great. and had a lovely sauna and spa , a very quiet spot to relax, hosts were lovely and kept us informed throughout our stay. recommend 5 stars 🌟

HIDDEN SANCTUARY
Great location to beach and town, quiet area, nice and peaceful. Paul responds fast to communication. Home has everything needed for relaxing stay.

Room for Two
Cindy’s room for two is a lovely place for two that can come with a family feel as well. You are not just Cindy’s guest, but her whole family makes it so you feel welcome. We have stayed there many times and will do so again should we return to Richmond New Zealand.

Luxurious 1 brm Seaview guest suite-Pool & spa use
This place is amazing - great views from the private balcony! The place is very clean and has everything you need for a great stay. The hot tub and pool area is beautiful! Charise is a great host - responsive, helpful, and goes above and beyond to make sure you’re taken care of for a great stay. We will miss the views!

Paddleboard & Mountain Bike Paradise
Our group loved this Airbnb, it was a place to reset after completing the Abel Tasman. We really appreciated the the amount of space, lawn, decking etc and the ability to have a BBQ and relax. We loved the hot tub and pool to rejuvenate our muscles. Paula's communication was proactive and clear while being easygoing. We would definitely come back again and highly recommend to others!

Copper Gate: wow-factor large eco-house on 7 acres
The perfect spot to relax and recharge. Spacious, comfortable and peaceful we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Roger was fantastic, communication was excellent and he was very helpful with suggestions of places to visit and things to do. The house is well stocked and had everything we needed. Our kids loved the friendly sheep and chickens and us adults enjoyed the beautiful outlook and peaceful surroundings with a quiet drink on the deck at sunset! Highly recommend Roger’s beautiful home and cannot wait to visit again.

Ribbonwood Retreat, Upper Moutere, Tasman/Nelson
Thoroughly enjoyed our month long stay. Sue and Runar are lovely - super responsive and available if needed. The cottage is quiet and peaceful. Lovely view of the ranges from the road. Check out the Wēkā Trail about 300 meters from the front gate - spent many a quiet morning walking up that farm track - lovely panoramic views from the top of the gentle hill. The house is centrally located and a great jumping off spot for a variety of activities in the area. There are several good wineries within ten minutes and many have excellet restaurants/cafe's attached. Tasman village is very close and has a good coffee spot. Motueka is 15 minutes and has everything you'll need. We did several trips up to Able Tasman to day hike - about 25 minutes drive. Enjoyed Māpua restaurants and craft/art stores also. The cottage has everything you need, and there's plenty of space. We also loved the chicken and grew quite attached to her over the course of the month!! Thank you for a beautiful stay.

Mariri Heights Tasman Coastal Retreat
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

On the Beach Marahau
Stayed with my adult kids and grand baby. We had an absolutely amazing stay at David’s accommodation! The home was set out well to suit all of our needs and had recently been updated. Access to the kayaks was an excellent way to enjoy the ocean and have fun together. Such a beautiful location central to heaps of local sites of interest, not to mention the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Good comms from host - very easy to book and access. Would highly recommend and would definitely return, if in the area! Thanks again David.

Cabbage Tree Cottage at Gentle Annie
We had a lovely stay at this great bach, in a stunningly beautiful location. We enjoyed the sound of the surf, and birdlife and enjoyed great weather.

Priest Retreat:Private&tranquil groundfloor studio
Very handy location, close to supermarket, close to forest walk, and even close to garage for car repairs!

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

Appleby House
Stunning location and property, great place to spend the end of 2022 with friends, hope to be back again some day
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Ansarli Villa - Luxury Country Villa with Pool
This is a really beautiful property - exceptional in every respect and all amenities are as described. We had a lovely weekend here with family and the kids loved the pool. Many thanks Pauline!

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

Panoramic views with swimming pool
Fantastic place, off the beaten track. Gina very responsive and supportive of our very late arrival. Sadly we didn't have time to use the pool but looked gorgeous.

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.

Compass Cottage - Monaco Resort
Great clean place! Beautiful quiet area. Hosts were very responsive.

The Mudcastle 1-16 Guests (2 nights) Entire Castle
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 :)
