Character 2 Bedroom Home with Spa
We had an idyllic two weeks here, exploring on foot, by car, and rented e-bikes. Easy access to a great network of bike trails (the Great Taste Trail). An easy walk to 2 brewpubs and other restaurants and an excellent Thai massage location. Go east to Havelock for mussels or west to Abel Tasman NP for a Waka paddle or beach time. Back home we would relax in the private hot tub, enjoy the TV and cook in the well stocked kitchen. The accommodation was spotless, with a comfortable bed and everything we needed for a relaxing time. The host was always responsive and provided lots os suggestions for sights, shopping and restaurants.

Panoramic view estate 3 min walk to Beach & Coffee
This property is everything one could ask for. The house is spacious which allows for privacy for all party members. It is an old house with a unique feeling one can appreciate. The house is very well equipped and the garden is spectacular. The view is breathtaking one does not want to leave the house! The host is lovely, very responsive and helpful! We would stay longer if we could . Very highly recommended!

Home in Nelson
Wonderful stay at Matt and Lucy's. the home was well appointed with everything we needed. the pool and the spa was very good and we felt super relaxed and comfortable here. would happily recommend.

Mapua Executive Home with swimming pool and spa
A wonderful home in a beautiful location with stunning views. We particularly enjoyed the pool, spa and being able to walk to amazing restaurants and wine bar. Sally and Wayne were friendly helpful hosts. Highly recommend staying

Marsden Escape - Views, Spa and Swimming Pool
We loved our stay at Swim, Sun, Sleep, Repeat! The house was immaculate but also very homely. The location was in a quiet suburb of Nelson but backed onto open countryside ideal for walking out .The Sprig & Fern pub had just opened only 10 minutes walk away which was very handy when we wanted somewhere local to eat. It was a great location overall as Abel Tasman Park was only an hour away and there was plenty to visitmore locally . We loved the layout of the house with all three bedrooms at the back of the house. We understand music room could also be used as a fourth bedroom but this would need arranging ahead. The lovely upstairs lounge has an amazing view in the morning sunshine. The kitchen was very well equipped ( although we couldn’t find any kitchen scissors) We loved the modern appliances especially double dishwasher. Great pool and hot tub s. Equally the family left a great selection of games .We would love to stay again if we were ever back in New Zealand - an amazing home

Maitai River Romance
It's a beautiful property and I would love to come again. I have left my shoes behind and Karla help me to.get it back.😊 Appreciate.

waterfront classic kiwi bach
On arrival the bach was unfortunately not ready for us, but this was due to an oversight by the cleaner, not Emma. Emma was super quick to respond and very apologetic when we messaged about it and couldn't have been more prompt in getting things resolved which we really appreciated. After this initial blip we loved our four night stay here. The bach feels like the best of both worlds - an old family bach and the charm that comes with that, made even better with significant modernising updates like the massive glass doors, and all the other mod cons and extras (big fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer, heatpump/AC, Chromecast, etc). It is off the beaten track and feels so peaceful and private. Being so close to the sea is a real treat. We would love to come back some time in the warmer months so we can make the most of the amazing outdoor areas and pool! (just a bit too chilly for us softies to swim in it at this time of year... we did love the outdoor fireplace though!). :)

Brook Valley House Pool & Spa. Sleeps 9
This was our second stay at Bex & Nicks place. Again it was great for us being a large group with kids. Heaps of toys, bikes and space to keep the kids occupied. While also being a great place for an the adults. Its a beautiful place, that feels very quiet and peaceful tucked away on the hillside, but it's still very close to the city centre.

Camelot Island Retreat
Paul’s house and setting matched our expectations from the listing. It was very clean, tidy, spacious, warm and nicely furnished. The lounge, dining and kitchen area looked out across the garden to the beach. Unfortunately it rained for most of our short stay so we didn’t take as much advantage of the outdoor setting and facilities as we might have otherwise done. Despite that our party of 4 adults and 3 children all enjoyed our stay. The hosts were very welcoming and were quick to answer any queries we had.

Premium Nelson Location
Greg’s place was perfect for two couples. Very clean and quiet. It is close to a lot of attractions downtown. We took advantage of the gas grill outside and had two lovely meals. We enjoyed coffee on the patio.

Spacious seaside home with a gorgeous view.
What a beautiful location! The home was quite large and perfect for our large family. Vicki was very responsive and kind -a great host. We did arrive to an abnormally cold snap in Nelson, but we're able to warm up with the wood stove in the living room. There were plenty of warm blankets for sleeping. We used the one portable electric heater in the bedroom where we had our infant in a crib (since she couldn't bundle up) and it worked great! We would certainly book again!

Mapua Tree Top Studio
Luxury accommodation at a great price! The suite was stunning and had magnificent views. Sue did a great job putting the place together and making it so lovely! If we are ever back in the area we would certainly stay again!

Hartley Place Home - Richmond
John was fantastic, very accommodating of requests. House was clean, tidy and quiet.

Nestled in Nelson
Absolutely loved our stay here. It is so nice being able to walk to the city centre, great coffee at Bobby Franks and towards the waterfront the other way. We were 6 adults and all had our space comfortably with the inside and outside areas. Safe and friendly neighbourhood. Highly recommend

Seaview, Sunsets, Relaxing Holiday Haven
Lovely clean, tidy house with spacious living area and comfortable bedrooms (beds rather soft but comfy). Kitchen good size with two ovens which was useful. Nice view, although hedges in front cut out quite a bit of it. Nice quiet location, bit of a drive to get up the hill & along the road to it with loads of speed humps which makes it take quite a while, but once there is a lovely spot and nice to walk around the area with the spectacular views. Huw was very helpful and friendly with great communication - highly recommend!

Family Beach House
We had English relatives with us and a 2 year old and everyone was impressed. Nessie loved all the toys and we forgot the pram but there was a buggy for us to use!
Private house rentals

We loved our stay at the house, it was a beautiful and serene home base for us to explore the Tasman area and John was an excellent and responsive host.

The Back 2 Front
Thank you for a wonderful stay! It worked so well for our family - amazing location, views, added bonus of backyard and spa! The home was so inviting and comfortable too. Great communication also - thank you for having us!

The Darling Cottage
Such a hidden gem to stay at in Nelson! Leah has done an amazing job renovating the old house and created a perfect place to stay while in Nelson. Close to the centre and lots of nice bars. Really enjoyed staying here!

Bridge Street Bungalow
Lovely home. Close to all that Nelson offers. Very comfortable stay. Host attentive and thoughtful.

Richmond Tasman Nelson New 3brm
Very accommodating given the short notice. Nothing was too much of a request. Would definitely stay again.

Grassmere. A Home With Heart. Gardens With Soul.
What can I say! I have just spent the most amazing 10 days at Ginny & Pat's warm and welcoming home, set in the most magnificent 'labour of love' gardens. What a sanctuary of peace and beauty with every amenity you can think of. Ginny and Pat are super friendly, warm, generous hosts who were delightful to spend time with. The home is super comfortable, fully equipped kitchen with everything you can think of, and both inside and outside, there are lovely places to escape to and enjoy the different aspects of the property. Whether you want sun, shade or in between, there is a place to curl up with a book or listen to the radio , everyone with a restful vista. The garden is simply stunning, with beauty everywhere you look, full of joy and serenity. I will be returning and highly recommend this place to other guests looking for something truly special. Thanks Ginny & Pat - you have made my stay one that I will treasure and remember forever.

Panoramic views of Tasman Bay
Highly recommended place. Had a family trip and the place didn’t disappoint. House is neat and good looking view. Would come back 💯.

Hart Road Haven
We had a lovely week long stay. A very spacious, warm and modern home that had everything we needed. Thanks Debbie :)
