Bungalow vacation rentals in Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere

This is a beautiful Airbnb filled with fantastic decor. It’s a proper home with lovely furnishings and a cracking kitchen. We stayed here just under a week to relax after months on the road travelling and it was the perfect place to do this. Murray & Jo are fantastic hosts and were very quick to respond to messages. I’ve insisted my parents stay here when they visit NZ in a few years time. Worth every penny!

Beautiful place and a spectacular Host! Nicky went out of her way to accommodate us and was very helpful. I would definitely love to stay again and spend more time here !

My daughter and I stayed at the cottage for a few days on a trip to the area from Scotland. Great cottage and was exactly as represented. Clean, spacious and with easy reach of the town and the fabulous wine country Blenheim is surrounded by. Nice touch was great linen on the beds. Jenny had a few recommendations for eating and the Brazilian restaurant Gramados was exceptional quality, service and value for money, great recommendation. No question I would love to stay at Jenny's place if in the area again.

Unbelievable place to stay for the price! The location was fantastic, right in Vines Village. Convenient if you want to access wineries, but there is also a wine tasting spot on site, along with a whiskey tasting place and a great brunch spot (all on a little pond). Winter hours are a little tricky though if you’re looking for places to eat, but the flat is reasonably well-appointed for cooking. Being attached to the gin room was fantastic and the complimentary tasting was perfect! The views there are also lovely. The flat is great - comfortable and big enough for two people. The absolute highlight was the outdoor bath! It’s not super private during the day (bring a swimsuit), but very private at night! Louisa was a wonderful host. Great comms and even flexible on our check out time. Highly recommend!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, Mark’s place was a perfect set up for our family’s Easter weekend holiday. Great sized bedrooms, spacious kitchen/dining/living area, modern facilities and all the home comforts. Mark is a great host and very attentive when needed. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

Mapua is a great place, and Boathaven Cottage is a great place to stay at Mapua. Easy walking distance to everything, very well set up with everything you might want, a fire for ambiance, and heat-pumps for ease of use, and the most well equipped kitchen I've seen since I stopped renting my own AirBNB. My wife also enjoyed the spa-bath several times. For the bikers/mountain bikers - the wood shed (right by Cottage) has power sockets to recharge your electric bikes (if you are old like me). Due to cottage being very private, I was happy leaving my bike in shed charging. Diane was always quick to respond throughout process. left thoughtful items in cottage like coffee pods and chocolate and also advised us the annual Mapua fair was on when we stayed. Very thoughtful.

Beautiful home in a very central location. For us as a family it was a great stay. Felt very welcome. Lovely home

The Ligar Bay house is a unique experience. The location is fabulous. The house itself is wonderful in its functionality and beauty. It makes you realise how relaxing life can be if you leave out unnecessary luxuries. We feel very lucky we had the opportunity to live here for a week. More over Golden Bay is a beautiful part of NZL, and Ligar Bay is the perfect spot to enjoy it. You can do parts of the Abel Tasman walkway to the east (awsome) and explore Cape Farewell to the west (astounding). Definitely recommended.

Paula's place was very well located. A short walk to the supermarket and an easy 15 minute walk into the city. Paula's place was as described, all you need for a short stay - unfortunately the TV/Netflix was not working during our stay. Would recommend staying here.
