Holiday rentals with outdoor seating in Golden Bay / Mohua

Ligar Bay is a fantastic spot, the changing tides provide so much diversity and interest - we kayaked, paddle boarded, walked and swam in the bay and at surrounding beaches and tracks. The house itself is very clean, with beautiful outlook and the garden is lovely. Furnishings and linen are very stylish and beds were comfortable. We found the lack of curtains/blinds a little challenging - there’s a skylight without a blind directly above master bed, one bedroom has no blind and the other had sheers, which provide privacy but no light. We love our sleep in holiday! We also missed having a dishwasher - some wouldn’t care. We appreciated all the pantry staples, great indoor and outdoor showers and water toys available for guests to use. A stunning place!

This is a fabulous, quiet location (but close to shops etc) for anyone wanting to visit Motueka or the lovely surrounding area. The property has heaps of added extras - we really appreciated having a fully functioning, well-appointed kitchen - plenty of lovely crockery, glasses, decent sized mugs!, pots, pans, mixing and serving bowls, utensils etc. Comfortable beds, lovely dining space plus relaxing lounge. The heat pump plus fire place were a real bonus as it was freezing cold outside during our visit. We are keen to stay again.

fabulous location, so much to do and explore. Hiking along the beach to Collingwood and the Farewell Spit tour were amazing things to do. The home was private and the views of the estuary were always changing and beautiful. It was very windy a few days but it didn't curtail our activities. The home stays warm when sunny and there are a few sand flies that like to bite but again, nothing too annoying! A well equipped kitchen, great comfortable beds, and clean overall made it a very pleasant place to be. We would definitely stay again!

We had a wonderful stay. The hosts were friendly and helpful and the house was beautiful and quiet. The house was clean, airy, and bright with high ceilings and lots of windows and surrounded by mountains and greenery. It was only a short walk to the beach and a great central location from which to explore the Golden Bay and Abel Tasman area. We discovered a community playground just 1 or 2 minutes from the house which was a big hit with our grandchildren. We enjoyed Molly B’s for afternoon drinks and meals. Highly recommend.

Best view and a fabulous place to stay especially for five people and a baby. Plenty of baby gear which made life easier for travelling. Hot Tub was awesome especially with the colder weather we had. I would highly recommend Costa Ruby, it's just beautiful!

The best family friendly holiday home we have been to so far. The view was stunning, the beach is right on your doorstep and is both beautiful and safe for children. The kayaks and hot outdoor shower were well utilised. Relaxed evenings spent on the expansive deck listening to the ocean. We will be returning as often as we can. Takaka hill is a difficult drive especially with children so I recommend staying a few days at least.

What a lovely little oasis! The space is clean, lovely and exactly what you need! Lots of walkable restaurants, and a serene getaway. Would highly recommend!!

Thank you Jana and Drew for letting me stay at your wonderful place. The Grandad Shack was incredibly relaxing. Your home has an amazing feel to it. It really did feel like home. And Drew, another massive thank you to you and your friend for helping me find my dog when she decided to go off on an adventure. Very special that......and for the fresh eggs!! All the very best, Mike

lovely couple, approachable and when we crossed paths had a great chat. lovely place to relax... didn't feel the need to escape. Just chilled at the pad.

We loved staying at David’s place. Was a walk to everything we needed. Had an amazing outlook onto the water. And David and his family were so helpful. The kids loved the foosball table too. Highly recommended.

Beautiful apartment with a great location. Matt, Jocelyn and Amanda were all very helpful and kind. We had a great stay and would love to stay here again when in Nelson in the future.

this is the best location I have stayed at. I still can't believe how cheap it was! they could be charging a lot more for this kind of quality. Great deal, I would reccomend

The apartment has a well equipped kitchen and a barbecue. We enjoyed going to the fish market across the street to cook at home. Close proximity to get to Able national Park and wineries.

We were so happy with our accommodation at Vivs place. The home was spacious, modern, with outstanding views. Communication with our host was excellent.

Such a beautiful space, love my stay here! Sally was very helpful with local reccomendations and great comms. Will definitely be back.

Beautiful location in a nice neighborhood. Enjoyed being next to level path that runs along the water. Nice grill, off street parking, comfortable bed and great bathroom. Wonderful host.
