Family-friendly holiday rentals in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

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!

A lovely and well thought out space. We felt very at home. The location was handy to get in and out of Nelson, and the view was stunning!

Great place to base yourself in Nelson. Was close to everything and a short walk to an amazing beach. The house was great, perfect size and great for the dogs - the only truly fully fenced property I’ve been in and didn’t have to worry about the dogs finding a way out. Private as well - loved it there and would stay again.

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.

Wonderful stay with family. Great spot too. Overall we all enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back again

Another amazing holiday in paradise! Couldn’t ask for better, thank you!

Absolutely loved our stay at the cowshed. Lots of laughs and lost count of how many cows we saw! Really appreciated the breakfast provided and had everything we needed as well. Thanks for having us Angela.

Beautiful setting, lovely home, extremely quiet and peaceful if you are wanting to get away from it all for a bit :)

Good accommodation in a great location. It is spacious, very well maintained and has everything what you need. The kitchen had even two good scissors. For some reason in most accommodation there are no scissors. We liked our stay a lot.

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.

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

We loved our stay of 3 nights here, we were wanting somewhere a little out of town with peace and quiet and that’s exactly what we got. However only took us 12 mins drive to get into Motueka. Beautiful setting with lots of trees around but still nice and sunny. The house was immaculate inside and hosts had thought of and provided everything you could need. Especially loved that they allowed us to take our 2 dogs with us. Thanks so much! Can not fault a single thing, and would love to return next time we are back in Tasman area.

Ina was very prompt in comms and flexible to our booking requirements. Spacious, peaceful accomodation close to Nelson, Richmond bike tracks and Tasman region. Highly recommended

The location of this home is incredible! Beautiful sunsets, close to penguins and a number of stunning beaches and hikes. Check out the baby fur seals, caves, natural spring, waterfalls and abundant bird life. Piwakawakas at every hike! Garry was very accommodating and responsive. Rent with confidence!

Great peaceful location - beautiful location / views. Owner very friendly and helpful!

Kate gave very clear instructions so we were able to arrive safely and were able to find the place easily as we had a long drive and arrived quite late. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming despite our late arrival the night before. Additional plus were the awesome welcome given to us by their pet dogs, Chloe and Amber!

Beautiful house in great central location. Everything is nearby and in walking distance. Comfortable guestroom with own bath. And most important: a super lovely hosting familiy. We enjoyed our stay so so much. Thanks for everything!

We had a wonderful stay at Vintner’s retreat, the home is very comfortable, spacious and has a fully fitted kitchen with a lovely outdoor space overlooking the vineyards. We had a lovely swim in the pool too

Exactly what was described, plenty of birdsong and a front row seat to watch fantail and other natives.

Great stay at Gina and Martins place. Super responsive hosts and brought us tasty filter coffee for the mornings. Absolutely stunning views and super clean property. Highly recommend staying here. Peaceful and tranquil

Fantastic place to stay. Lovely and peaceful but very handy to great vineyards some within easy walking distance.

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.

Cute little cottage feel, would happily stay again.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.
