Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

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.

Annemarie and Chris’ place was so beautiful, truly heavenly. The kayaks were a great adventure for our girls! The artistic details and decor were incredible. Coffee was 🙌🏻. Will be back.

Smyth's home was a complete oasis for our month stay, we always looked forward heading back here at the end of the day! Beautiful scenery and lots of open space around. Smyth was very friendly and accommodating, couldn't have asked for a better home or host for our time in the Nelson-Tasman area - we felt right at home!

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

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Easy walk to the beach. Views were amazing from the large deck and bedrooms. The house was so spacious and well equiped. Would definitely return.

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!). :)

Perfect location for our visit Everything as described in the listing Pauline is a great host

This was a beautiful home with outstanding scenery, modern kitchen , great bed & sharp knives for cooking. You can easily walk to the lake & nearby trails. It was a five star place in most respects. But be aware that The main heat source is a wood stove. So If you don’t like building a fire or are allergic to wood smoke like I am, it’s better to stay here in the warm summer months.

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.

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.

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.

Great quiet spot with lots of space and privacy

Great hosts, and a lovely space to enjoy. Full kitchen was great. They gave lots of local recommendations and were always helpful. Would stay there again!

Quiet, secure. Easy access to restaurants and pub; we appreciated the laundromat a short walk away. Nice amenities in the apartment.

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.

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!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Greg & Jan’s place! We were there to celebrate our mom’s big birthday and it was a wonderful stay. Lovely house with a beautiful pool, kitchen and everything else ❤️ Greg & Jan were delightful hosts, always available to answer any questions we may have. Beautiful place to stay in Blenheim, visiting many wineries nearby. Highly recommend!

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

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

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.

Fabulous property by the sea. We made use of the bench seat overlooking the ocean and beach, with an early-morning cuppa watching the sun rise. The log burner super-efficient (we didn't need to use extra heaters in each bedroom). Every space fresh, clean and tastefully decored. Lovely hot shower with good pressure. 2 min drive to The Mussel Inn for dinner. Key was available to lock up when we went out. No problems at all with wifi. Can't wait to book this during the summer season. Cheers Mark and Natasha.

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.
