Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Riwaka

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.

A beautiful and very well-equipped house in a wonderful location. Amazing vantage point over the coast. Access is very steep and narrow - in a Toyota RAV we felt that we were right on the edge of the roadway and had a lot of work to turn the car around to get out. The property is very close to Kaiteriteri main beach but removed from all the hustle and bustle. Walkable to several other beaches and a quick drive to Marahau and Motueka (with a good grocery store). Beautifully designed house that opens up to several outdoor spaces to sit and soak up the fabulous views.

Jamie was a wonderful host. She was very informative it was always available if we had any questions. We absolutely loved this place. We had kids with us that loved the chickens and enjoy the patio out back. The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed for our stay. very impressed! For us in New Zealand this has been our favorite place to stay! would definitely recommend!

This is a cute place with everything you need for a easy and comfy stay. It feels homely and has interesting colourful artwork, vintage furniture and ornaments that are thoughtfully placed. Good shower and full kitchen with the full compliment of utensils, pots and pans.

Such an amazing stay. Wonderful things of note: swimming hole in the river, beautiful surroundings, giant bath, amazing stars, cosy fires, really cosy beds and kind and friendly hosts. Thoroughly recommend 😊

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

Our 2 families had a wonderful stay at Marina's. We would highly recommend it and hope to be able to stay there again.

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!

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.

Valerie and Ewan were very friendly and a highlight was their spectacular garden. We were very lucky to be able to help ourselves to the abundant veggie patch. Lots of yummy treats left for us on arrival. Good small supermarket, a couple of pubs and the amazing bakery. We had a very peaceful Xmas/New Year here.

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.

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful and we felt right at home. It had everything that we needed and was located close to town. We would love to stay here again the next time we’re in Nelson!

Cute little cottage feel, would happily stay again.

Great place to base yourself for the attractions close by. Beautiful clean spacious apartment. Would highly recommend to others.

A terrific apartment, cute setting with comfortable bedding. Good amenities

We had a great time staying here. The place is huge and very cozy! It’s a real hidden gem and definitely worth the money. It’s super clean the kitchen was well equipped, the bed was comfortable and it’s very bright inside during the day which was nice. The living area was perfect to just relax in and have a movie night! Heather is very nice, gave us clear instructions and responded quickly. Would definitely recommend staying here.

It is a lovely house equipped with everything needed for a family vacation. We had an incredible time, highly recommended.

Very well equipped house for a family holiday, had everything we needed. Gorgeous location close to beach, national park and the shops we needed. All 7 of us had a great stay!

Perfect house for a group get away, very clean, had everything we needed and a lixury to each have our own room and bathroom

We loved our stay at Tom and Taya’s beautiful house. Our kids didn’t want to leave. We hope to come back for another visit in the future.

My second time here, I think I'll keep coming back! Just everything I ask for when I want to get away. Close beach and views, garden setting, comfort and of course the hot tub. Everything was great, even the wifi 😏

Great place to stay. We were a group of 9 and we all had plenty of space. The location is a short walk to a Four Square and the Māpua wharf where there are plenty of eateries to choose from and lovely artisan and gift stores. Jane was a great host who communicated well and provided local recommendations. Would happily stay here 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.

It felt like home very quickly. Comfy beds. Beautiful period rural house in a large garden with mature trees. Easy to find a quiet spot under a tree to read a book. Plenty of parking. A good kitchen and laundry. Fresh plums and heaps more in a welcome hamper. The cats were adorable. They called by for some food and a pat a few times a day and then disappeared into the garden. Too many pluses to mention (and we stay in a lot of airbnbs). Negatives which are hardly worth mentioning would be road noise - not too bad and you don't notice it after day 1 - and the kitchen knives were not terribly sharp.
