Bed and breakfast vacation rentals in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

Amazing place

Peter’s hospitality and kindness are both heartwarming and we felt welcome from the start. He has a very special home and garden/orchard and his passion for plants and the natural environment really shows. He shared several of his plums and apples with us, as well as homemade bread and fruit leather. The location is serene, yet close to several vineyards and a general store. What a special stay!

wonderful retreat in beautiful nature. Nicky is super friendly and a natural host and we enjoyed staying and relaxing here. highly recommended.

Such a peaceful haven in a beautiful garden. So many thoughtful details here to make one feel comfortable. The outdoor shower was a real treat and falling asleep with the sound of the stream was a unique experience. Shanti is an excellent host who went over and above to make sure we had everything we needed.

Had a lovely stay with Carol and Geoff. They are very welcoming hosts and the bed is comfortable and the bedroom wonderfully quiet and dark. Such a treat to have fresh fruit from their garden too. Highly recommended!

I don‘t even know how to start - we absolutely loved this stay and can only recommend it (we‘d definitely come again)! Rae and Paul welcomed us in the evening and were both super friendly and welcoming!! Rae immediately showed us around the house, which was super cozy, warm and so tidy/clean! We really loved all the details: chocolate bars in the room, bathroom utensils to use, bath robes, a Netflix account for the TV and so much more… Rae really made us feel like home by offering to use all the utensils in the shared spaces and giving us enough privacy! They were both super friendly and happy to chat a bit with us! And they have the cutest cat ever! We even got offered a variety of food for breakfast: toasts, yoghurt, fresh fruit, spreads, jams, hot chocolate/coffee, milk, … basically anything you could imagine for breakfast - it was so nice and just simply amazing! We felt like home! Our only mistake was that we only stayed for one night… 🥲 we loved this AirBnB stay!

Highly recommended! Wonderful host who was super warm and flexible with check in and check out!

Michelle’s place was just what we needed. The information made available in the brochure was helpful and the accommodation was clean and well provided for.

Loved the place. What a great 3 day stay we had. Homely queen room and ensuite with the added charm and character of its history, but full of amenity and convenience. Super comfortable especially the queen bed, spacious and loads of extras including a breakfast verandah room with fridge. Very central to explore the area and very easy to walk the water front. Great hosts and very welcoming which just added to our stay. Had absolutely everything you would need to feel cared for. Thoroughly recommend.

The photos and description don't do this gorgeous home justice! Really nice home, very attractively decorated, very comfortable. There is plenty of room. The kitchen is well supplied with dishes, pots, pans. Full kitchen with full-size fridge. Hosts were friendly and helpful. Location abouts Abel Tasman and a 5 minute walk from beach and kayaking. Very nice situation.

This is an amazing place. You have amazing views of the ocean, and it's very well furnished. I would recommend going into the spa at night! Also, Candace and Alan couldn't have been more friendly and helpful. If you're in Nelson, this is the place to stay hands down!

Matilde and Clark are warm and wonderful hosts that are welcoming and go out of their way to ensure guests are comfortable. The house is beautiful and spacious and the ocean view room had a great view of the pool and the sea in the distance. Breakfast was tasty and the spa was a luxury on a starry evening! I even got treated to some exotic teas from Matilde’s extensive collection! Highly recommended. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

We love Karen and John's home. Very beautiful and stunning views from our room of the ocean. Karen was such a lovely and caring host. They made us feel so welcome and were very helpful with recommendations of the area. Karen was very accomodating of us and always helpful. John cooked us the most beautiful breakfast which topped of a beautiful stay. We left with such a great feeling. They are such a lovely couple and we highly recommend that if you are wanting to stay in the area, this is the place to stay. We will be coming back to Ruby bay just to stay here again. Cannot recommend Karens Ruby bay home enough. Thank you Karen and John.

Beautiful stay. David and Tammy were very welcoming hosts from the moment we got there. Room and ensuite bath are both a good size and very clean, nice hot shower. Comfortable nights sleep. Can park right in front of the room entrance so very easy. And wonderful delicious breakfast in the morning. Only downside is we didn't stay longer. Would highly recommend and definitely stay again.

Oh man! Wish I could've stayed longer! This little gem is in pristine condition! It had everything I needed and more. The bed was sooooo comfortable, which was perfect after being on the road for a few days. I had had some of my breakfast for dinner the night before as its already available in the room. Loved the variety of condiments for toast and the fruit. There's not much to do in Motueka but it was the perfect stop over. Carmen and Max are a lovely, kind and welcoming couple!

Pene's place is a hidden gem located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to nearby shops and highway. The bedroom and living room is spacious and relaxing. The bathroom is spacious too with everything you need for the stay. Her cat Mocha is also very friendly and fluffy, definitely good for cat lovers.

This property was absolutely perfect for our friend group getaway to Blenheim. With 4 of the 5 bedrooms having ensuites, an amazing outdoor area to sit and relax while looking at the vines. A pool table to help relax and a fire and heat pumps in each room for those cold autumn nights. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, we would definitely recommend staying here!

Beautifully clean rooms with a very kind and chatty family. Breakfast was laid out for us in the morning too. Would recommend highly

Our stay with Amanda was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, responsive, and accommodating. She even upgraded our room! The lodge had everything we needed and we felt right at home. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks again for everything!

Lovely spot and very welcoming host…

Our stay was short, but we had a comfortable peaceful night, an enjoyable breakfast, and a welcome lift to our boat pickup in the Waikawa Marina. Thank you John and Nicola.
