Vacation rentals in Owen River

Genuinely blown away by this place, it absolutely exceeded all expectations. My family walked in and were in awe of how beautiful it was, it had a lovely vibe that made it feel like home. These hosts have nailed it and have an absolute gem here. We had plenty of space, the cottage was extremely clean to a very high standard, the hosts were attentive and kind, the finishing touches were impeccable and so thoughtful. This home was a great base as we explored the lakes to the south - and to the North West day trips to Golden Bay, Nelson and Kaiteriteri. We loved coming home after a busy day exploring the region and eating our family dinner together outside in the garden and waking up to have morning coffee amongst the flowers and birds in the garden. We've never stayed anywhere so beautiful, we hope to return soon! Thanks for providing an incredible place to help create our family memories.

Amanda's place for great for our short stay in Nelson. The house is as described and the pictures are accurate. It's a short walk (20 ish mins) into the centre of town so very well located. Amanda was very responsive and helpful too!

We had a wonderful stay at Mike and Anne’s place. The space was spacious, clean, and very comfortable — exactly what we were looking for. Mike was a hospitable and thoughtful host, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. We truly enjoyed our time there and would definitely recommend it to others!

The location of Karaka Cottage was wonderful! The sunrises were glorious, and had us outside trying to get that 'great" photo. The coming and going of the tide in the Inlet, and the wildlife that went with it, were mesmerising. The Cottage was private and very well equipped, and the "light touch" decor was perfect for the location and history of the property.

We had a great stay at Nedda's place. The views were amazing and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Thank you Nedda!

Coastal Bliss Cottage was absolutely perfect, as was the beautiful setting of the surrounding property. Beatrice has thought of everything to make her guests relaxed and comfortable. The place was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Our yummy breakfasts under the pergola were such a treat and we enjoyed our conversations with Beatrice and Yves, who made us feel most welcome. While the cottage is in a peaceful location, we found it was within easy reach of cafes, restaurants and numerous activities in nearby Mapua and beyond in Motueka and Nelson. We highly recommend this delightful cottage as one of the best AirBnBs we’ve stayed at and would love to return one day.

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

This was a beautiful home with outstanding scenery, modern kitchen , great bed & sharp knives for cooking. You can easily walk to the lake & nearby trails. It was a five star place in most respects. But be aware that The main heat source is a wood stove. So If you don’t like building a fire or are allergic to wood smoke like I am, it’s better to stay here in the warm summer months.

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 :)
