Family-friendly vacation rentals in Marlborough District

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!

The place and the location were absolutely stunning and we loved tending to and then sitting in the hot tub at sunset.

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!

What a superb 2 bedroom house! Great location for our trip, convenient to City as well as Stoke and beyond. Walking convenience to Tahunanui Beach, and all it contains. Everything necessary provided at the house, and the Spa pool was a bonus! Very well contained and enormous! backyard for visiting dogs. Highly recommended.

Beautiful spot by the sea! The hosts were friendly and made themselves available for anything we needed. The place was charming and quaint. The view is incredible, and the relatively secluded location up on the cliff made it a really special experience. I would definitely recommend it!

The flax pod was absolutely amazing ! the views from the deck were fantastic, we loved the hot tub, we were in it morning and night, the bed was that comfortable we didn't want to get out of it, we premade our meals + reheated them on the stove, there were several eateries close by as well, beaches, cycle trails + golf course were not far down the road. highly recommend Kim's place.

We revisited Adam's house in 2025 after enjoying a stay in 2024. It's a terrific place to spend time. The kitchen and living area are large and well planned. The bedrooms each have a toilet/shower and this was perfect for our team. We visited for an adventure race and being able to get up at different times and to all shower rather than having to queue was fabulous. I'd highly recommend this house for anyone who has a crew who tend to work on different schedules. Thanks for another lovely stay.

Kiwi Greenie was the best place for a quiet weekend away from life. Lovely bike rides & beautiful waterfall walk all close by. Wee slice of paradise.

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.

Adrian and Dawn are great hosts, communication from day 1 was outstanding and when we got there the information about the the area was amazing...exactly what you needed to know things to do and places to eat. The house was, clean, tidy and had those little extras that you need like condiments, bathroom wash etc and even washing powder. House is exactly what is described and what made even better were the beds they are comfy! Thanks for great stay.

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.

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

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

A beautiful haven among the trees and the birds. Ina was so welcoming and helpful and we felt very at home. The kids loved the garden with the trampoline and rope swing. It's been our favourite Air B&B of the trip!

We had a beautiful second stay at the sandcastle. Loved the peaceful setting, birds and animals on the property. Pizza night was fabulous and Steve was incredibly gracious with our two boys and even took them blueberry picking. Thank you for taking extra care and checking in to ensure our stay was so special. Our boys said this was their favorite place we’ve stayed yet!

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.

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!

Perfect location for a girls weekend. We organised on line shopping and Mike meet our deliveries and unpacked our groceries for us. The view to wake up too in the morning was just gorgeous . Vineyards , the mountains and sheep staring back at you. 😀. We were escaping from Auckland so we appreciated the scenery. Thank you Mike

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

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.

Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them 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.

A really nice apartment, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Perhaps a little bit of slightly intrusive noise in the daytime but quiet overnight. Lovely spa and pool area too. Only potential downside is that it’s sort of out on the edge of town. But five stars from me.
