Aroha at Tata - Golden Bay Holiday Home
Loved our stay. The house is a short walk to the beach and is very comfortable and highly recommended. A great place to stay!

On the Beach Marahau
Stayed with my adult kids and grand baby. We had an absolutely amazing stay at David’s accommodation! The home was set out well to suit all of our needs and had recently been updated. Access to the kayaks was an excellent way to enjoy the ocean and have fun together. Such a beautiful location central to heaps of local sites of interest, not to mention the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Good comms from host - very easy to book and access. Would highly recommend and would definitely return, if in the area! Thanks again David.

Pohara's Bliss by the Sea
We had a wonderful stay

House on Parkers
Great stay at Nicky and Tim’s place during Easter break. Very good communication from hosts and house was exactly as described. Full amenities provided and great spaces for our family to hang out in. Dogs loved the yard. Thanks for the stay.

Sea Views on Bisley
Loved Ruth's place and really found an appreciation for the art. Awesome location nice and central to town and bars and restaurants close by with beautiful views and all the homely things you could need. Place was also really cosy and homely

'te wai tahi' maori for waters edge
It was an absolute treat to wake up each day at Te Wai Tahi and spend our time. Right on the waters edge, just a short stroll from the Mapua wharf and all its goodness, Te Wai Tahi is blissfully placed. The house had all we'd needed to enjoy our stay, with an abundance of feijoa as an extra treat. Marianne was warm and responsive. Fabulous all round.

Heaven
It was perfect! The home had everything we needed, including a coffee machine full of beans ready to go! The garden was incredible and I was in heaven relaxing in the spa in what felt like an oasis far far away! Thank you!!

Location, Location, Location!
Fabulous location on the harbor. Very close to Abel Tasman park and water taxi. Nice are for a stroll. The place is cute and clean.

Oceanview Retreat with Spa Pool & Swimming Pools
We have had the most amazing stay! The apartment is even better than it looks in the photos! View to die for from the enormous balcony, super comfortable beds, high end appliances & friendly accommodating hosts… we don’t want to leave!

Luxurious -Private-self contained cottage
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.

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

Mapua on the Water Bed & Breakfast w Spa and Pool
Beautiful place and location, and Sally and Wayne are very welcoming. A cute little village with great restaurants and ice cream is just a short walk down the beach. I highly recommend this spot for anyone, but especially for people interested in sitting on the deck soaking up the gorgeous scenery !

Magic Sunset Waterfront Apartment
Karryn’s place was a nice comfortable apartment with convenient parking. The location was close to town but not close enough to walk to. Had it been a warmer season it would have been a great location for a bike ride and bikes were provided. We would recommend Karryn’s place.

Spacious seaside home with a gorgeous view.
Enjoyed our stay especially the nice fireplace for the cold evenings.

Green Tree Haven BnB-Riwaka Tasman Bay
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!

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!

Vox Maris apartment Kotare - beachside tranquility
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.

Monaco Views
This is our second stay, and it was just as great as the first. Such a relaxing and clean environment.

Enchanting waterside stay in a truly unique place…
In short, one of the best Airbnbs we’ve stayed at (and we have been to quite a few). My partner and I spend 2 weeks in the Best Island Bus and had the most amazing time. We honestly barely left the property because we enjoyed it so much! The location is beautiful and so calming - your stress is immediately gone as you hang in the hammock and watch the birds in the trees. It was the best place to disconnect and rest. The bus is fully equipped and so well done - has everything you could want! Simon and Clare are so friendly, welcoming and helpful. You can tell how much love and thought they have put into this place and they go above and beyond for their guests. Would recommend this to everyone! We would come back in a heartbeat and were sad to leave.

Quayside Cottage
Jacque's place is in an amazing location. You have a beautiful unobstructed view all day long. the Bach includes all the necessary amenities and then some. We used the paddle board and kayak every morning at high tied to explore the water, rusted ship and sand spit!
