Apartment holiday rentals in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

Really nice place to stay, my English work mate said it reminded him of the home he grew up in in the Billericay, England with the style, particularly the living room and kitchen.

This was a very nice place to stay. The instructions provided were clear and easy to follow, which made check-in smooth. The space itself was clean, cozy, and felt very private—perfect for a relaxing getaway. It’s also conveniently located close to the main road, making it easy to get to all the key spots around Nelson. Edan was very responsive and quick to answer any questions, which made the whole experience even better. Would definitely recommend!

Very close to the beach, peaceful and quiet neighbourhood. The unit was very neat and clean, everything was as described. Nicki was very responsive and helpful. We came in winter but are looking forward to come back during summer. Thank you!

A warm welcome from Heinz and Akiko after long day of travel. Their place was lovely and spacious with beautiful views. Had all the necessary equipment to be able to cook, comfy bed and clean bathroom. Close to mountain bike trails and trail running. A great place to stay for relaxing and making use of all of the activities close by. Thank you 🙏

Robyn’s place was clean, comfortable and conveniently located for exploring the area. The personal welcome message by the door was a lovely touch. The kitchen and living area did get very hot in the afternoon but the fan helped and it is advertised as being sunny so shouldn’t be surprised that it gets hot.

we had the most perfect stay! the apartment was clean and spacious, very well decorated and equipped. the beds were super comfortable and linen was soft and clean. Jono and Rutu are fabulous and friendly hosts, they made sure we had everything wee needed for a wonderful stay. would highly recommend 👌

Very nice apartment. Was lovely and clean and it felt very welcoming. The heater was on when we arrived and to top it off, there were some treats for us too. Bed was comfy, slept like a log. Communication was easy, Ana responded immediately and was super helpful. Nice to have easy access to the beach as well. Would definitely stay again, highly recommend this place.

WOW this place is spectacular! The view is amazing and the unit is modern, spacious, beautifully decorated and so homely. Has everything you could possibly need and the host was there to meet us on arrival and show us around. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful home and for making us feel so welcome. 100% recommend this place!

We loved to spend 4 mights in the Kai-pod which oozed of creative and homey atmosphere!!! All we needed was there, the bed, bathroom and kitchen all worked perfectly and the view from our he apartment’s big opening doors and the terrace could not be had any better, wow’ through this lovely place kaiteriteri lived up to its spectacular ree re mutation. Thank you ❤️

A compact apartment that packed in everything we needed. Full kitchen, comfortable seating with views across town to sea from large picture window, great bed (also with views to sea), handy storage alcoves for clothes and suitcases, shower with plentiful hot water, and - the nicest surprise - a great size deck with bbq. There's no full photo of deck so we worried it might be tiny but loved it and the views to sea and mountains. It is overlooked by the picture window of the rear unit, this was never a problem and we used it often as weather was great. Short walk to town (we dont drive), handy supermarket and host's cafe and bar recommendations. Just one design flaw; the L-shape breakfast bar fits 2 stools under but only one human when you pull out the stools! It was a pity not to have comfortable dining space when evenings got cooler and we ate indoors. Overall an excellent choice and great value for Picton.

Thank you Danielle & Mike, the Blue studio was perfect much like our holiday in Mapua which we consider it sort of the sweet spot to explore the region. Excellent location, clean and comfortable, would love to be back some time in the near future to see the other half of Abel Tasman park :)

Ideal for groups (5 in ours). Great character and convenience. Centrally located on flat land - no steps. Good parking. Bonus fruit and wine supplied very thoughtful. All rooms en suite plus great communal kitchen, lounge. Laundry, private courtyard.

It was our second time to stay at Garth’s place. The place is always spotless, tidy , cosy and comfortable. Garth is very approachable, friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again next time we head up to Nelson.

A beautiful cottage and garden with thoughtful and luxury touches which made for a wholly lovely and memorable stay. Would love to return in a heartbeat! Thank you to the wonderful hosts for your warm hospitality and kindness. We had had an utterly marvelous stay!

Wow what a beautiful pristine apartment with a view to die for. Did exactly what we wanted it to do. Peaceful and relaxing ticked all the boxes for us. We would not hesitate to recommend. Helen was the perfect host - welcoming and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Thank you so much

Lovely little spot and Kirsty was fantastic in her communication and welcoming :). Also notified us of something we left behind which we came back for. Excellent host and service :). Would happily stay again.

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!

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.

Thank you for a great stay! We definitely recommend to anyone looking for a beautiful property wonderful location.

I highly recommend this property as it had amazing views of Malborough Sound. Sitting on the balcony was very peaceful and relaxing. There was plenty of heating which made the apartment cosy. There is a hot tub on the balcony to sit in and enjoy the views. Sky TV had lots of channels which was appreciated. Would stay again.

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.

So grateful for the last minute, late night acceptance and check-in! we arrived off the ferry in the evening without a reservation and Yvonne accepted our request within minutes. Thank you!

Such a brilliant base to explore Kaiteriteri and the Abel Tasman. we had a wonderful time. everything you need for kids and a perfect garden to use plus swimming pool. Everything well kitted out, thanks for a lovely stay.

This home is just wonderful. Very new and clean. Well furnished. Perfect for our 2 couples with a bathroom each. Hot tub available for use too. It’s about a block from a beautiful beach and a 15 minute walk to Kaiteriteri where there are a couple restaurants. It tons few minutes to find the door, but I mentioned that to Tamara so hopefully the directions will be improved. I definitely recommend this place.
