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

We loved staying here in this beautiful roomy 2 bedroom house in sunny Nelson. Loved the outdoor living with spacious deck, patio furniture and plants. House was immaculate, with quality appliances and linens. It was made even more comfortable with AC - much appreciated in the warm afternoons.

This was a great place to stay for a genuine Golden Bay holiday. The house has a great bach vibe, is near the beach and handy to attractions. The house had everything we needed and check -in was a breeze.

This is such a beautifully designed and perfect retreat. I appreciate when attention has been given to design and detail, and this place has it all. Gorgeous view, lovely retreat. The stairs are no problem for anyone even moderately fit, and the bonus is the seclusion and the view below. Highest recommendation.

Leanne is the perfect host who in her hosting easily managed our extended family and their requirements for this stay. The Airbnb itself has everything that could be needed and its proximity to downtown Picton is superb. Thanks Leanne.

Cannot say enough good things about Relax by the River‼️ Beautiful location and an extremely clean and updated home. All of Tania’s welcoming touches made for an overall fabulous experience. Would definitely come again if in the area. Thank you Tania and all.

Wonderful stay at Matt and Lucy's. the home was well appointed with everything we needed. the pool and the spa was very good and we felt super relaxed and comfortable here. would happily recommend.

A beautiful home in a great location. If you a looking for peace, views, space for everyone and a beach location then this is a great spot. We really enjoyed how spacious the house is, and having two bathrooms and two living areas made for fewer teenage squabbles and a more relaxing time for all. The deck is a great spot to relax in the sun. We also admired the skilful craftsman ship that has gone into renovating this grand dame of a villa. Our bikes had a sheltered spot under the deck and we enjoyed connecting up with and exploring the cycle trails (although there is a bit of road to navigate before you get to them). All in all it was a superb stay and we were sad to leave. Claire is a great host.

Lovely and comfortable home away from home. Location is stellar; tons and tons of restaurants and shops within easy walking distance.

Absolutely stunning location. Such a lovely stay, wish we’d had more time to explore this beautiful place.

Nice place, handy location, enjoyed our short stay, thank you.

The location is in front of the water with great views, walking distance to the beach and lagoon, easy access for kayak and SUP, walking distance to two great place to eat. Great accommodation for family with bunk rooms for kids and games. The kitchen is great to cook your own meals and well equipped. Clean and functional space, it seemed larger than on the photo with nice front outdoor space and table.

Joanne and David were very generous and kind hosts. We enjoyed their company very much - it was as if they were long lost friends. The apartment was high quality with luxurious touches. A fully functional kitchen was supported by a large range of pantry items and treats. Probably the best Airbnb bed we have ever slept in. Great wifi and television with a range of program options. We were permitted to garden forage which supplied us with a huge amount of fruit and herbs. Private parking for our car, washing machine and deck with BBQ made for a very enjoyable and memorable stay.

Huge, spotless flat that had every amenity you could possibly need! Check in has to be arranged but it was a smooth process and Amanda is lovely. We wished we could have stayed longer!!

It was our second time to stay at Garth’s place. The place is always spotless, tidy , cosy and comfortable. Garth is very approachable, friendly and helpful. We will definitely stay again next time we head up to Nelson.

Very clean, tastefully decorated. Spacious and well equipped. Lovely balcony with comfortable furniture. A little tricky locating the unit, and the coded doors

The apartment is spacious and has everything you need including a washing machine. The views are fantastic and everything is a quick walk or drive down the hill. Be aware, if you don't have a car - while it is very close to town, the hill is very steep if you have heavy luggage. Great exercise though! Loved Picton and this airbnb.
