A Gem by the Beach . 4 bedroom , Abel Tasman

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviews13 months ago

What a lovely place to stay in Kaiteriteri. The house is great. Spacious, clean, great outdoor spaces and a well appointed kitchen. Kaiteriteri is a very peaceful and beautiful town to spend a few nights in and this AirBnB fits right in. I would recommend this place and stay there again myself.

Absolutely one of the best spots we’ve been. The house is very clean and nicely appointed to the best possible view. The host is very helpful and really went out of way by helping us prepare the clean sheets and linen at the last minute, which really made our day easy. Thank you so much Brad for hosting us and offering us the best new year!

Self-contained Waterfront Unit

5 out of 5 average rating, 57 reviews1 week ago

We had such a wonderful time here - what a location! The view from the back was gorgeous and we also had a mooch in the garden (stunning). The house was a great size for us and had pretty much everything we needed. Chris even left locally caught fish for us to take to the local chippie - was the best fish and chips I have had! Such a wonderful time - Kaikoura is just stunning! Thank you!

Sunny & tranquil house by the beaches and MTB Park

5 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviews1 month ago

This is a lovely place. Great location with great birdwatching just down the driveway! Rach and Andy were very good communicators. Clear entry instructions, lots of suggestions on how we could get the water taxi/boat into Abel Tasman Park. Quiet at night, so great sleep. It was quite warm so the fans in the bedrooms were helpful. Loved the family feel to the place.
