Apartment in Kaiteriteri

SheilaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We had a wonderful stay at Brent and Annette's beautiful apartment. The views are spectacular and the apartment has everything you could want or need for a very comfortable, relaxing stay. It's a short easy walk along the coastal path to the main part of Kaiterteri where the coffee shop, restaurant and small supermarket are. We went into the Abel Tasman park from Marahau, a short drive from Kaiteriteri. Would highly recommend hiring a car if you're flying into Nelson and staying in Kaiteriteri as a base for exploring the park. If you are not going into the park, you can join a kayaking trip from Kaiterteri or just have a beach holiday on the pristine sand and clear clear water of the bay at the end of Brent and Annette's road. Brent and Annette are great communicators, very responsive and super friendly. We had the best holiday and hope to be back before too long. Thank you so much.

Perfect cozy home base for my day of visiting wineries in the area. Jacqueline was super nice and clearly so thoughtful and thorough in her setup of the tiny house. She offered great recommendations to maximize my limited time in the area. Everything was lovely (including her cutie dog!) Would absolutely stay again if I am lucky enough to visit the area again!

Luxury Grey Villa - Easy walking distance to town

Jenny’s place was exactly as described — and even better. Perfect location, spotlessly clean, cosy, and welcoming. The beds were incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed. Check-in was really easy, communication with Jenny was great, and she had a fantastic list of local recommendations waiting for us on arrival. It truly felt like a home away from home. We would absolutely stay again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area.

A fantastic stay at this beautiful property by the beach in Kaikoura. We had rain throughout our stay, so couldn’t enjoy the lovely outside table and grill, but we did enjoy the fireplace and lovely kitchen. Beds were comfy too. Great stay.

Nelson Beachfront Luxury Apartment

BranaghRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Such a lovely place to stay! We travelled to Nelson for a work related trip and this had absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful views over the ocean and walkable distance to a few nearby restaurants. We had one minor inconvenience on day one where one of us was stuck in the lift (just a note to not have bags against the walls!) - something we would have known had we read the booklet inside, however as we were using the lift to get our bags upstairs we hadn't quite got that far... Vivienne was great on the phone and her and they helped us sort this out quickly. Overall a great stay/location and would recommend highly to other guests :)

Straw bale house by the sea

LauraRating, 5 stars4 days ago

I can not rate this house more highly. It is so peaceful, with the most incredible views out every window! There was nothing better than waking up and looking out the window to the mountain range, and that evening having an incredible hot spa heated by a log fire. The house is rustic, with ever piece of furniture quirky and well chosen for the space. The bathrooms were spotless and the fire was lit ready for us when we arrived which we really appreciated. The beach is so close by, listening to the waves was my favourite thing. As a family, we absolutely adored our stay here.

Our stay at Vanessa’s property was absolutely fabulous!!! The house is stunningly beautiful with breathtaking views. It is modern and we loved the indoor/outdoor living and enjoying our meals outside on the beautiful deck with ocean views. Beds are like clouds, our boys enjoyed using the kayaks on the beach and the wheels made it easy to get them to and from. This place is beach magic!!!

Perfect location for us close to a friend’s house on the waterfront. Easy walk to three restaurants and we used the bikes supplied to bike to Tahunanui Beach. Great balcony but a little noisy at times which can expected for the waterfront location beside the road. We would certainly stay again.

Astonishing Views Superb Waterfront Apartments

DarcyRating, 5 stars3 months ago

We absolutely loved everything about staying here! It’s more like staying in a luxury hotel. I’ve rented a lot in NZ and especially in Picton. This by far the best place I’ve ever been in. The 5th floor views are mesmerizing from the kitchen, lounge , balcony and master BR. Comfy sofa with a nice TV. And the beds!! Heavenly. Even my grandkids commented on how well they slept and how much they loved the sheets. We could have spent all day watching the boats and ferries but did get out for some nice shopping and great meals. I highly recommend Oxley’s bar and restaurant downstairs. The food was great. We loved this apartment and would love to stay again! Rochelle was great.
