We had an amazing time during our stay! The surroundings were absolutely stunning, making it the perfect escape. It’s truly a fantastic spot for larger groups looking to create unforgettable memories together.

stayed a week. and enjoyed my time with the family. will definitely book again. owners always responed in a timely manner. house was immaculate with everything you need. there was firewood out the back staked up ready to go which was a bonus for the cold nights. would definitely recommend this place 😀

Great place to stay, the spa pool is perfect for cold nights

Great overnight stay! Clean and had everything we needed. The hottub was an added treat and the views were better than pictured!

The house was absolutely spotless. Kitchen flowed through to dining area and lounge and outdoors. Cute house wth lovely outdoor area. Two bathrooms a bonus. Katharine provided quick response to our query. Nice quiet spot.

Great spot located in a quiet neighbourhood but still very close to town. Lots of space and an awesome outdoor area. Troy was great to deal with and was so responsive and helpful, particularly when we accidentally left a couple of belongings behind.

Great place to stay in Ohakune. Beautiful view of the mountain. Very comfortable and well set up with everything you need for a few days stay. Vess was super friendly, responsive and helpful

We had a lovely couple nights here! Very straightforward check-in, very very clean, great location with easy (drivable) access to all of the cool spots around Rotorua. Clean, comfy beds and couch and a super clean bathroom/kitchen. Felt very at home as well. The spa was very nice after a couple days of walking and swimming. Thank you so much! ✨

Great location, just a few minutes walk from many harbourfront restaurants, cafés and bars and great to have the sunrooms overlooking the water Kim was brilliant, helpful and fast to communicate and we had a great stay The included Gym and Pool are 30 seconds walk from the apartment and that was a bonus Thanks, Kim

We love staying at the Gables Apartment . Beautiful location on the waterfront . Apartment is well appointed and very comfortable Perfect retreat to restore the soul Kelly is a wonderful host very helpful and accommodating

Lynne is truly the best host we’ve ever had. She welcomed us with a big smile, warmth, and kindness that instantly made us feel at home. The place is absolutely lovely, with breathtaking views, excellent bedding, and beautiful furniture. Everything was thoughtfully prepared,homemade muffins (they were amazing!), snacks, chocolates, and even asking for our milk and wine preferences! Her hospitality truly went above and beyond. Lynne made sure we had everything we needed and was incredibly attentive throughout our stay. We left feeling relaxed and really appreciated the care she put into every detail. Highly recommend—we’d definitely book again. Thanks, Lynne!

Stuart's place is 100% in everyway. A well presented home, has a well equipped kitchen, it could use a fry pan lid. Think maybe the bbq isnt used much, was a bit rusty. This didnt change me wanting to give a five 5 star review. The deep bath is amazing. The view, the privacy, and the quite space, were amazing, it was a great place to come back to after a day of sightseeing. It was just what we were looking for. Wonderful host, friendly. Would re book if back his way again.

You know when you walk in to an air BnB and you instantly feel at ease and like you’re going to have the best weekend because of the place you get to sleep is perfect, this is how I felt stepping into Raewyn and Rod’s property. It was clean to absolute perfection, the bathroom was really cool, the beds were great - comfortable as and the granola, as per other reviews was fab! The home made peaches were however my favourite and my dad loved the plum jam! It’s peaceful with a great view and ambient outdoor areas to soak up some sun. In walking distance from a cute coffee spot and the pub was great for food. My dad and I had the best weekend and we couldn’t be more grateful for our stay and highly recommend.

Quiet, secure. Easy access to restaurants and pub; we appreciated the laundromat a short walk away. Nice amenities in the apartment.

Great location, quiet street 5 minutes stroll to Jervois Road

We enjoyed our two night stay in this comfortable apartment, and the hosts were very welcoming! We enjoyed the homemade bread and thoughtful touches as well!

Fantastic hosts, and even better stay, won’t think twice to book again!!

An absolutely awesome long weekend Easter break 2025. So lovely, clean, quiet, relaxing, comfortable. Thank you for an amazing time out. CHEERS!!

Charming cottage lovingly restored. Very comfortable. Lovely location. Will definitely try and return.

WOW what a house! Stunning property and large! perfect for our family trip with 2 kiddies, having a portacot an toys available was brilliant, two bathrooms made it nice and easy esp with a bath too! Easy check in and clear instructions. Tom and Taya answered all my questions and seeing the book on the entrance table with what the house looked like before they transformed it was incredible! if we are ever in Nelson again this will be my first pick! thank you!

We stayed for a full week and used the house as a base to explore Nelson and surrounds, Havelock (where we took a boat into the Sounds and Blenheim / wineries. After a day exploring, and some days when we didn’t leave the house, we lapped up the views and quiet time - card games, reading, cooking, drinking great NZ wine. The sauna and wood fired hot tub was amazing especially when the skies were clear. The views are spectacular! The drive up the hill is as described (terrifying in the wild wind and rain we had!). Make sure you book a 4WD or an all wheel drive as NZ weather is famously unpredictable. Great hosts who thought of all the small touches and were super responsive.

We had a wonderful time at Briar's lovely home. It suited our big extended family with a few little ones. Very spacious and everything we needed was available. The house was so beautifully appointed, and we all felt at home immediately. I can highly recommend Briar's awesome, great home. Thanks Briar

Great location close to the city centre. A quiet and private home, perfect for our family of six.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.
