Guesthouse vacation rentals in Aniseed Valley

Cozy stay at Pamela’s sleep out! Perfect for my few days through Nelson. I really appreciated the bits and bobs for breakfast. Pamela is a great host.

Beautiful, tranquil spot, well set up studio and lovely hosts 😄 It would be hard to find a more pristine swimming hole!

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

We stayed in Chalet 3 at Cherie and Rodney’s place and are so happy with our choice. It was very peaceful and private sitting on our own deck overlooking the orchards and towards the sea. The chalet was very homely, spacious, comfortable and extremely well equipped. The friendly sheep visited us often in the paddock straight off the deck. Cherie and Rodney’s place also had laundry facilities and a barbecue to share with the other two chalets. Parking was ample and easy to use. Our hosts were quick to respond to texts and very friendly when we needed help. This property is in a great location with easy access to Abel Tasman NP and the lovely towns on the coast. We particularly enjoyed the short walk to the Riwaka Resurgence. We hadn’t heard of this gem before but it was highly recommended by Cherie and Rodney. Don’t miss it! We highly recommend staying at Cherie and Rodney’s. If it’s available, grab it!

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.

We had a very comfortable stay. The studio was nice and warm. The location for us was ideal. Thanks very much Nick and Sarah. Would definitely stay again.

Angela's place is really unique. it's delightfully decorated with thousands of cows, we had great fun about it. besides that the location is convenient, the place is very clean and comfortable, breakfast is a big plus, and her beautiful friendly cat is a big bonus! Overall we absolutely enjoyed it and highly recommend it to anyone who visits beautiful Picton!

It was a wonderful stay at Robert's. The cabin was immaculately clean. Robert was on site to meet us and was extremely friendly and welcoming. The property itself was spacious enough for us, without being too big. Everything was well stocked too, some milk in the fridge a nice touch. Had two gorgeous dogs that lived there and wander the grounds, so soft and were excellent with our two boys. We extended our stay as we were very happy with location and property. Would happily stay again.

Heather's place was comfortable. Each week a linen change which was great. The garden was so wonderful and peaceful. It was a little oasis. Whilst there was family upstairs, I never heard them.

The Bach was quite large and roomy, front bed comfy, with a large well stocked kitchen! Nice shower!Everything was spotless. Pete was a good host and easy to talk to. It’s a 15 minute walk to the beautiful waterfront , with several trails to hike nearby. Although one can park in the driveway , we preferred using the grass in front since the space between the stairs and hedge is narrow. Very safe quiet neighborhood.

Difficult to cover in a few words what a great find this was. We stayed for 3 weeks and felt at home straight away. It had everything we needed for a peaceful holiday, visiting family locally but also having our own space. We felt immediately and warmly welcome, but not intruded upon; the facilities were simple but superb, the bed was comfortable and the views were amazing - we could never tire of them.

Sally and Bruce's place was absolutely wonderful! A great place to call home during our road trip (especially after a very long day of hiking in Abel Tasman). Not to mention, the bed was very comfortable! We had the best time.

Shevaun was an excellent host! She provided great recommendations for the area, including some excellent wineries. The apartment itself was very clean and tidy, and all had the amenities listed. Would highly recommend a stay here! Thanks again, Shevaun!

really nice place that's pretty close to the city centre and had a cosy feel to it with a spacious bedroom.

Thanks Rebecca for a lovely spot to stay before my ferry ride to Picton, the back garden was so lovely to sit and relax in. We loved that we were so close to the mountain trails and the carport was a bonus with an outside power point to charge our e-bikes. Will definitely stay again when we come through.

We have stayed here a few times now and it is always a great experience. The property is beautiful and tranquil and the cottage is a little gem providing all we need. Jeannie and Dobbie are very friendly but will give you privacy if you want it. Definitely recommended!

We absolutely loved our stay at this Ruby Bay beach house! We had the bad luck of visiting the area during 3 days of autumn rainstorm, but Lynette & Den’s place turned out to be the perfect refuge. If anything, the space was larger than the photos made it seem and the amenities were nicer. The kitchen was well-equipped, the couch and bed were comfortable, the in-unit laundry was great. Lynette and Den were friendly and gave us helpful recommendations of things to do in the rain. We honestly wish we could have stayed longer!

A clean, well-appointed base camp for exploring the region. About equidistant from the mail boat ride out of Havelock and the southern access to Abel Tasman National Park. Nelson itself was a revelation of good restaurants, an interesting regional museum, and a lovely beach just down the hill from the Airbnb. Ales and Michelle were stellar hosts, responsive and friendly. The house was just right for two, with an efficient kitchen set-up, great amenities and a fabulous view of the beach, the bay, and the mountains beyond. Would definitely stay there again.

Host very nice showing us around. Beautiful area with farm animals next door but close to town as well. Clean and functional spa (ie jets worked, pretty rare at rentals) much appreciated after hiking the Queen Charlotte.

Nice and cosy place, good choice to explore Nelson area.

Chinh & Tri were generous enough to let my 17yr grandson stay at their place by himself and even offered to drive him around if needed. He had a very pleasant 3 nights there, apparently the bed is very comfortable and everything is as described. Many thanks Chinh & Tri!

What a wonderful, relaxing place to stay! Surrounded in beautiful gardens and scenery, Woodmans Den is a real 5 star find. We were a couple travelling with grown up daughter and we all loved the space, wood burning stove and outdoor hot tub to star gaze. Here everything is very high quality, linen bedding and very comfortable leather seating. A perfect 5 star place

I’d love to return here to spend more time. The perfect comfy little bolt hole with a lovely outlook.

This was not my first stay so I knew it was exactly what I needed. As expected, it was comfortable, warm, safe and conveniently located with friendly but not intrusive hosts. Also a bonus is their dog who is very sweet and also friendly!
