Vacation rentals with breakfast in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

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.

Everything you need! Even fresh fruit for breakfast. Thanks!

Can't get better than this. Carol was an exceptional host - lovely to speak to and responded quickly and we could tell she wanted us to have the best stay possible. The place itself was spotless and cosy. We felt instantly relaxed. Stunning location and everything you could want from an air bnb - it was clear that everyone involved in keeping this accommodation running takes great pride in sharing this special place with others! Thanks again ✨

Excellent property. Perfect for our group, clean and tidy and exactly as pictured. Great communication from host. Highly recommend.

Beautiful view with a warm homely environment, our family felt at home. Beds comfortable, staff communication was excellent. Front bedroom is noisy as it is situated opposite a busy main road. The family and I would most certainly stay again!

Caroline’s home is spectacular for so many reasons! She has a beautiful home inside and out and the decor was top notch! Caroline was a very gracious and welcoming host … will definitley be back!!! Thank you Caroline we truly appreciate you!

Wonderful place and great house! We felt home right away. Unfortunately we had a couple of rainy days so we were really happy that we had the whole house to ourselves. The nice big and we'll equipped kitchen and the comfy living room let us enjoy our time despite the rain outside. We were welcomed with a well stocked fridge! Beverage, cheese and cracker plate, butter, jams and honey, eggs, homemade bread and more. We loved it!

This is a lovely house in St Arnaud, as pictured. It's surrounded by trees and peaceful, but just a short walk from the lake and village centre. The cosy fire meant it was a great spot, even when it was cold and rainy. Great communication and flexible check in in. We'll definitely book here again. 😊

Valerie and Ewan were very friendly and a highlight was their spectacular garden. We were very lucky to be able to help ourselves to the abundant veggie patch. Lots of yummy treats left for us on arrival. Good small supermarket, a couple of pubs and the amazing bakery. We had a very peaceful Xmas/New Year here.

After the initial shock of driving up the very steep drive everything went smoothly. Friendly communicative hosts with clear instructions on how to get into the unit. The unit had everything we needed. To top it off the stunning expansive views on all sides and beautiful lap and spa pool plus the priceless silence made this one of our best air b n b stays yet Thank you.

We found the Clifftop Retreat cabin suited our needs perfectly and Bob provided an excellent level of communication, service and local tips. He also ensured the pantry and wines were stocked with high quality local products. The accomodation was very good with comfortable bed, terrific functional kitchen and amazing clifftop views of the surrounding bay and local area. The location was perfect for our walking trips up into the Abel Tasman National Park and also fantastic local restaurants and wineries. Bob also organised a pick up from the airport for us as we arrived late at night. Overall a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend Clifftop Retreats very highly.

Honestly the best place we stayed in NZ- sad it was only one night! Beautiful apartment, incredible bed/bedding and with a swimming pool outside the front door. Couldn’t fault a thing, and very much loved the puppies! Thank you Zoe, great host and property. We’d love to come back.

Fantastic views. Cosy spacious house.

Thank you so much Zoe and family for hosting us (including our dog) and for making us feel so welcome in your beautiful home. Coming home to a swim and a relaxing bath after such a full day of activities was exactly what we needed. Zoe’s apartment under her personal home is absolutely stunning, we’d love to stay again one day 🥰

We highly recommend The Studio for a couple visiting and exploring the Nelson area. It was spacious, well equipped, spotless and with all the amenities we needed. We were welcomed with a delicious cake, fresh fruit, a range of breakfast supplies and hot bevarages. We would happily return in the future.

This place was exactly as it was represented. 2 bedrooms each with its own bathroom. Frozen breads available for breakfast and a selection of teas and coffee. Very clean.

We had a very welcoming and lovely stay. We came back after few days camping in Abel Tasman Reserve, and the beds and shower with beautiful view were amazing. Deb is very helpful and had loads of tips for what to do in the area. The breakfast is also very good. Highly recommend staying here!

Really clean and comfy room with private bathroom next door. The house is beautiful with a nice little breakfast room and we got to use the BBQ and terrace aswell which were great. Short walk to see the shipwreck and to the town center with shops and restaurants. Overall can recommend.

Val was very welcoming and even picked me up from the airport and baked fresh bread for breakfast 😊 room was very cosy and clean with private bathroom. Perfect for my stay before setting off on the Heaphy and easy pickup from The Sands the next morning.

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!

Beautiful place and location, and Sally and Wayne are very welcoming. A cute little village with great restaurants and ice cream is just a short walk down the beach. I highly recommend this spot for anyone, but especially for people interested in sitting on the deck soaking up the gorgeous scenery !

Great overnight stay. The bed was super comfy, and the breakfast was delicious. We really enjoyed chatting with Rosemary over breakfast. A warm and friendly host who we'd happily stay with again.

One of the best Airbnb experiences. This one is a place that’s been set up by people that love to host and know how to make all the small things perfect for an enjoyable and easy stay. Generous provisions for hot drinks and breakfast. Well appointed studio with gorgeous linen and furniture. Jennie and Peter were responsive and extremely helpful for my stay. Friendly caring people. Peaceful serene location. Wish I could have stayed longer. I’ll be back!

loved it, the view was amazing, great to have our morning coffee and banana bread outside and enjoy it. Would go back, just be aware the drive up is a little steep but a good work out for our walks. Lovely hosts and well presented unit.
