Little Kaiteriteri Holiday Home

4.88 out of 5 average rating, 8 reviews1 month ago

We were celebrating my father's 89th birthday with a small road trip around the top of the South Island, Jenny's home was the perfect place for us to do this. From the moment we booked Jenny provided us with quick replies to questions about things to do and see, her communication was fantastic. We liked the house, location, views and the host so much we extended our stay for an extra few days. We were very pleased to find a coffee machine in the kitchen and some really tasty local coffee blends to try out at the start of each day. We loved sitting on the deck in the late afternoon sun, taking in the spectacular views over the ocean and Kaiteriteri beach, this was a daily delight. I will be returning for another stay in the near future. Robbie Sampson Wellingtonl

Bisley Beach House 3 mins walk to the BEACH

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 12 reviews14 months ago

Amy and Myles were great hosts. We really felt welcomed into their home. The location is even better than the pictures show. We felt like we were getting to experience the beauty of Nelson via the incredible view from the house, even when lounging on the deck or cooking dinner. We were travelling with our toddler and felt so at home with Amy leaving him toys to play with, plates and cutler and kiddy towels. An easy walk down the hill to access the beach and parks and just a short drive into town. Great recommendations from Amy about local cafes and attractions. We’ll dream of the day we can return. Thankyou!
