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

really nice setup/location. great food too!

Anne's Fairytale Cottage feels very homey, it is well decorated with personable items, it's cozy, has a well equipped kitchen, with laundry, and had everything we needed to enjoy a home cooked meal. Anne was super helpful on arrival, and responded really quick in case of the occasional question. Most of all, Anne was really friendly, it was nice to meet her.

River Road Retreat was a delight to stay at, and Peter and Rebecca lovely hosts. The cottage is beautiful, clean and in a gorgeous setting surrounded by fields, and with stunning views to the hills in the distance. We loved the welcome bottle of wine and yummy nibbles, as well as the delicious breakfast served every morning. The air is fresh and clean, the water absolutely pure, and after three days we’ve returned home refreshed and reenergised. Wonderful!! Big thanks from us!!!

I felt so welcomed into Jennifer’s home, perfect home stay. The peaceful surroundings were amazing, highly recommend the outdoor bath. I would recommend this home stay.

Fantastic house surrounded by the vineyards. An awesome place for a weekend away with friends The gift basket was an added treat Have already booked to stay again !

What a magical place! You guys should totally update the photos, because it's 1000 times better than expected! The lofts and ladders are fun, the hot outdoor bath is devine and the kids toy box kept our son well entertained! Thanks, will be recommending it!

We loved our stay at Charlies place! Such a gorgeous setting, and has everything we could've asked for! Even tennis rackets! The place was super clean, comfy beds and well equipped kitchen. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a picturesque escape in wine country. Ps. the river is lovely for a swim! and there are so many nice restaurants nearby.

We had a beautiful second stay at the sandcastle. Loved the peaceful setting, birds and animals on the property. Pizza night was fabulous and Steve was incredibly gracious with our two boys and even took them blueberry picking. Thank you for taking extra care and checking in to ensure our stay was so special. Our boys said this was their favorite place we’ve stayed yet!

A wonderful place that was clean and bright. Easy to find and get into and everything was supplied as stated in listing. The host went above and beyond for us and was helpful in getting us rebooked when original timeframe didnt work. Would highly recommend a winner all around.

Kate gave very clear instructions so we were able to arrive safely and were able to find the place easily as we had a long drive and arrived quite late. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming despite our late arrival the night before. Additional plus were the awesome welcome given to us by their pet dogs, Chloe and Amber!

A simple but comfortable historic bach in a peaceful off-road location with a glimpse of sea from the front porch table, Emma’s cottage was just what we needed. The shower is hot and strong, the queen bed comfortable and the woodstove cozy and easy to use, with plenty of firewood stocked by the owners. There was plenty or kitchenware to prepare a dinner for six. Thank you for holding on to the bach’s historic feel while providing everything we needed for a happy stay. We look forward to returning, best wishes!

This is a very special place, I wish I could have stayed longer. The house is incredibly cosy and atmospheric, and we felt so spoilt with the great breakfast. This is a true getaway whilst everything you'd like to do and see in the region is close by. Highly recommended!

Lovely place to stay and very handy to all the restaurants and ferry terminals. Spacious rooms with an amazingly big spa bath, will definitely stay here again.

We had a fantastic time staying here. Really lovely place - cozy and warm, with everything we needed (and more!). Thoroughly recommend this place.

Absolutely loved the stay here on the water! Although the sun was hiding for the few days we were in town, we were able to enjoy the cottage and get some much needed R&R 😊 Elspeth was there to greet us and was a wonderful host. A+++++

Beautiful place with a lovely garden and pond out the back. Deborah was there to welcome us and kindly gave the kids some toys to play with which were greatly appreciated! Lovely comfortable house, would highly recommend as a base to explore Abel Tasman and beyond.

Lovely location for exploring. We enjoyed our stay at Anna’s place. Recommended for anyone wanting to relax and chill.

Bay Cottage is a lovely place to stay. Spacious with everything one needs for a few days. Christine was a friendly host who came over to meet us at the cottage which is removed from the house. This makes for a quiet and secluded stay where you can appreciate the bird song. While the location is rural ( in a citrus orchard) it was a short drive to Takaka and we were able to dine well there. An enjoyable stay.

We had a great time in Mapua. John and Kim were absolutely lovely and gave us very good recommendations for activities. For example we could use their bikes to go to Rabbit Island. We also had fun using their canoe. The wharf with bars and restaurants is only a short walk from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

South St. is a lovely place to stay in Nelson, close to the CBD, quiet, friendly and absolutely charming. The Sojourn cottage is as advertised and more, my stay couldn't have been better. And what can I say about Linda ? The best host ever is an understatement! I look forward to staying here on future visits to Nelson.

such a lovely place to stay, we loved the friendly sheep, cicadas, bellbirds and farm animals. comfy beds, beautiful bathroom, great deck and furniture. A few more small bowls perhaps for nibbly bits, and the small fridge was a bit of a challenge for a 5 day stay.

Great touches like the museli, fresh fruit and stewed apple! Quiet and away from everything...
