Words don't come close to describing the yurt. Yurt life is simply stunning. Everything was perfect. We did not want to leave! If you love nature, sustainable living and beautiful craftsmanship you need to stay here and experience yurt life for yourself :)

Gorgeous location. I could live in this yurt for months if possible. 100% would stay again

This place is absolutely incredible. Amazing views from all sides! Having breakfast on your own terrace overlooking Motueka and the coastline was quite surreal. And having an outdoor bath at night under the stars with the lights from the city and the sounds of the birds...unbelievable. The yurt itself is lovely, well furnished and very warm once you get the fire roaring. Remko and Tessa are really nice people, and every stay at the yurt will be one to remember. Genuinely one of the best places we've ever spent a night away from home, and we've been to some pretty amazing places!

Jo and I loved spending a rainy evening in Tessa and Remko's yurt! It was such a wonderful way to relax in nature, cook dinner in the outdoor kitchen and take a bath with the most beautiful views. The yurt was tidy and cosy plus we loved looking at all the design details. We left feeling inspired to live the yurt life ourselves someday. In the meantime, we hope to return in the future. Thanks!

I can not say anything that has not yet been said, this place is an amazing experience and a must do if you are even remotely close by! If out of the way, it's well worth it! Stay there and get their breakfast, it was delicious!

Remko and family were amazing hosts - yurt life is one of the most beautiful and relaxing places I've ever been - will be back!

We were greeted by Remko who was very friendly and showed us around the Yurt and how to use the hot water etc. On our first morning he brought us a great breakfast with so much refreshing food!

If you are searching for a place where your soul will com to life and your overall wellbeing will be restored, Tessa and Remko's Yurt is it! Nestled in the native bush, on a tall hillside, overlooking a spectacular view of the valley which opens to the ocean and mountains beyond, this yurt is the perfect place to relax. Watch the morning sun rise over the hills, or soak up the daytime rays by sitting on the large deck. The outdoor shower, basking in the full morning sunlight, is an invigorating way to welcome the day. An outdoor kitchen will allow you to make the most of the perfect climate. (We stayed in March and there were no pests - sandflies, mosquitoes, etc.) Remko, Tessa and their children are open, friendly, and sincere people who have put a beautiful, creative, and artistic touch on every detail of the living space that is tucked into this stunning setting. One must see it to believe it! Thanks for a fantastic stay!

If this house is available just don't think too long, just book it! It is even more beautiful than the pictures can tell! Clean, tidy, modern, stunning view, and just beautiful! We just can recommend it! Thanks to Jacky and Joe for showing us everything and taking good care of us!

What a magic spot. A great place to spend my wife's birthday and a long weekend! Little Greenie exceeded our expectations and performed really well in the cooler weather. We would love to take this design with us back to Southland. We learned alot about Eco Design from the portfolio provided. Jackie was very helpful with questions or queries. Highly recommend this accommodation - the view from when you walk in is breath taking :-)

Little Greenie Ecohouse is a bit off the beaten path and incredibly worth the trek to get there. The joy of this property is its perch on a hillside with sweeping views of Wainui Bay and the Abel Tasman area. Through the 180-degree sweep of floor to ceiling windows, this view permeates almost every aspect of living in this open concept house. Even from bed at night, we could view stars moonlight over the bay (though there are blinds for those who prefer total darkness). Little Greenie Ecohouse is situated on a larger property with several other accommodations, extremely well designed so that once you arrive at the house, the perch feels completely private, as if you were the only people on the entire rainforest hillside. The interior is clean and modern, with the best appointed kitchen of all the places we stayed in both Australia and New Zealand. There is an indoor shower, but trust me, you will spend hours in the outdoor bath (very romantic with a glass of wine and some chocolate). The only seeming "inconvenience" of the eco-design is the compost toilet, a glorified indoor outhouse, but we discovered it was stunningly odorless (incredible ventilation design work) and realized it was no inconvenience at all. The house is a quick 5 minute drive to the quiet Western edge of Abel Tasman National Park (hiking, beaches, etc.), and 30 minutes from Takaka, a somewhat bustling town stepped in hippie culture, with a nice selection of cafes and shops, full size grocery store, and evening opportunities to hear live music. We did not meet Lawrence in person, but he was easy to work with.

We stayed in the 'Little Greenie' and it is even more amazing than what you see in the pictures. As many have said, you come to this area thinking you'll do activities away from the house and end up staying at the house to just soak in the view and enjoy the home they've built. We found it to be more comfortable than traditional homes - complete with everything you're used to using - an oven, refrigerator, indoor shower, running hot water, etc etc - so if you're curious if you'll notice the 'eco' nature of the home - you likely won't even notice. The outdoor bathtub was incredible - with hot running water and a view of the ocean and surrounding area. The kitchen is large, and provides everything you'll need to enjoy meals at the house. There are two large very comfortable reclining chairs inside that overlook the water - my wife and I enjoyed sitting in these for hours watching the tide come in and out. Overall a highlight of our entire trip to New Zealand!

This property is absolutely incredible. It's so secluded and incredibly romantic. The view is spectacular, and we were the only ones on the beaches. Good to know that it's a ways from the nearest airport in Nelson (2 hours), and the only towns nearby are tiny. Absolutely perfect for a romantic getaway.

Nice house, amazing view, great host

Little Greeny Eco House is umbliebably fantastic. We could enjyoy breathtaking views from outside bath. One night, a bird "weka" visited us. She walked around the house. We are satisfied with atmosohere, rooms and natures.

Everything about Little Greenie was absolutely breathtaking! The home itself is a work of art amongst an incredible setting. A perfect couple's getaway!

Prachtig uitzicht, dicht bij leuke restaurants, moderne kamer.

We had a great time at Kat and Dave's place! The room is very big and has a beautiful view:) the bed is comfortable and has an extra blanket. For those who get cold quickley (like us) there is even an extra heater available!

Super mooi uitzicht! Nette kamer en badkamer. Goeie locatie.

Thought we didn't meet Dave and Kat, we enjoyed our stay at their place. The view was incredible, the room comfortable and centrally located. Would definitely stay here again!

Una camera stupenda con vista mare! Alba e tramonto rosso fuoco! Camera Nuova moderna con ogni comfort ! Bagno caldo moderno... tutto per la colazione ... TV ... e parcheggio privato ! Perfetto per kajak ... Dave& Kat sono top!

Lovely and clean, awesome views. Nice touches with the breakfast.

Todella rauhallinen paikka, lyhyt matka kaikkialle, ystävällinen ja avulias majoittaja mutta sai olla rauhassa omissa oloissaan halutessaan. Aamiainen melko pelkistetty, maisemat henkeäsalpaavat.

Dave and Kat's place is on the hill above Marahau bay with sweeping views across to the start of the Abel Tasman coastal track. Their place is a short walk from the start, and from a couple of restaurants. The famous Fat Tui burger joint is down the driveway. Room is large and well kitted out, with supplies for making drinks and cereals for breakfast - lovely touch.

The Kite is a spectacular place. It´s located perfectly close to Abel Tasman NP and in absolute tranquil and stunning nature. The bungalow is a amazing piece of architecture and interior design, which is only topped by its beautiful setting. The Kite is equipped luxuriously and the bed will be among the most comfortable you´ll sleep during your NZ trip. Last but definitely not least: Brittany and Tim are lovely and very helpful in preparing your stay in the Abel Tasman region. Overall highly recommended and totally worth the price.

This place is simply amazing - The Kite, Pemako farm and its central location in the Abel Tasman regional park. The quality of design and detailed touches, like local treats and indulgent toiletries, are exemplary. It is the most beautiful accommodation we have had the chance to enjoy. 11 out of 10!

Awesome place. The design of the home was prefect for blending the amazing nature of the area with indoor comfort. Brittany and Tim were great hosts, giving us excellent suggestions for things to do and stocking the place with snacks...even accommodating our vegan diet. We highly recommend their home for your next visit to Abel Tasman.

This place is a dream, a beautiful architectural home in the best possible location and Brittany and Tim are great hosts :) This is the best airbnb experience we've had to date!

What an amazing place. The Kite was fantastically appointed, and in an incredible location on the edge of the Abel Tasman National Park. The accommodations were luxurious and comfortable. Brittany and Tim are the perfect hosts, allowing for privacy, and yet extremely friendly and easily approachable. We loved the animals too! This place was an integral part of our amazing experience in the Abel Tasman. Could not recommend enough. Will try to return as soon as possible.

Strongly recommend this place. It was fantastic in every sense and exceeded our expectations. We'll be back.

WOW! Private, perfect getaway bordering Abel Tasman park. The Kite is a jewel. Every detail has been thought of, including a personalized note and welcome basket full of local treats. And, Tim and Brittany couldn't have been nicer. If you want to stay in this area, book it!

We spent our last four nights in New Zealand at The Kite and absolutely loved every second of our time there.... and a few times felt torn between going out to explore vs. just staying on the farm and enjoying the beauty, peace and tranquility of The Kite. Brittany and Tim have created a peaceful oasis for their guests. The modern, simple, clean architecture and landscaping are all gorgeous and there's a warmth an comfort we felt while staying there. There was a lovely welcome basket of local healthy, organic goodies and a bottle of wine waiting for us when we arrived and they had many suggestions for local dining and excursions. We had a wonderful time hiking up and down the coastline and spending some time at the beach while we were there, and it was always delight to return home to The Kite at the end of the afternoon. The outdoor soaking tub was such a treat as well... being able to soak outside under the stars was such a treat! Truly, this was the nicest place we've stayed at in New Zealand... and its tucked away in a lovely, quiet secluded spot that is still just a short walk (and even shorter drive) into town where the restaurants and railhead for the Abel Tasman Track are. The accommodations, location and hosts were all superb!

Thank you Anna for sharing your little slice of paradise with us - it was great to stay at marahau retreat! We loved the setting with the river, park and sea views! The bird song was lovely during the day, and we think we may have heard a kiwi at night. The chalet was very relaxing, we would love to come back again!

What impressed us: The VIEW from the porch and bedroom is wonderful! Fresh flowers in the kitchen, living room and bedroom! Fresh honey from Anna's own bee hives! Charming kitchen, living room, bedroom and bath! Comfortable bed; nice hot shower! For those so inclined, meditation is available in a peaceful, serene yurt. We had plans to meet a kayak company at the Abel Tasman Aqua Taxi. To our surprise Anna's property is just 5 minutes from local water taxis and restaurants. You may want to buy your groceries before you get to Marahua although there is a local camping supply store with essential grocery items, wine, beer and soda.

The house was charming, comfortable with everything you need. We loved the quiet surroundings, with a great view of nature and the bay. Anna and Sylvain were very welcoming hosts, we highly recommend their place.

Marahau Retreat is a tranquil sanctuary nestled in an idealic hillside setting. The hosts were absolutely pleasant and helpful with local information. The apartment has all the necessities and isnclean and tidy. Did not want to leave and hope to come back soon! Thanks Anna & Sylvain

This was the most relaxing place we have ever stayed at. It has beautiful views, privacy, is quiet and very peaceful. We enjoyed not having a TV, and having the large balcony which overlooks the bush and out to the sea. Anna was very welcoming and was available if needed. The site has excellent access to the Abel Tasman Track, water activities, and best of all, beautiful beaches! A great place just to be and reflect.

Great accommodations. Comfortable, relaxing, and convenient. Highly recommended.

This is truly a magical place. The cabin is set in a beautiful mountain setting that is perfectly convenient to the entrance to Abel Tasman National Park, itself an absolute gem. The home is nicely furnished and decorated, very cozy and private. You'll find everything you need in the kitchen - and fresh veggies to cook with in the garden! Anna could not have been more kind and welcoming getting us settled in. As a bonus, she offers meditation sessions in a yurt on site - an unforgettable experience. Could not recommend more highly!

Whauw!! What a superb cottage.. It had everything: stunning views over the entrance of Abel tasman NP, Well equiped kitchen, excellent bed, hygienic bathroom and at last but not least: an amazing terrace :-). And our host Anna gives us immediately the feeling that we were welcome. We hope to see her again very soon! Steve

If you're going to Abel Tasman STAY HERE. Everything about this place is heavenly from the beautiful view, the scenic location, and gorgeous garden (ask for the garden tour!). Great location for access to the park and extremely helpful hosts. Felt welcome and at home from the moment my husband and I arrived. The room is clean, comfortable, and airy with an amazing balcony to watch the tide or admire the mountains. Was sad to leave Tim, Dagmar, and the lovely Nina.

Amazing stay here, we loved it all. The house and location are truly beautiful and Tim and Dargmar are very helpful and friendly! Highly recommended.

This house has everything you can expect from a perfect (remote) holiday location. It is cosy, well equipped, with spectacular views and very clos to Abel Tasman National park. We had three wonderful days in this house and would love to come back. Dagmar and Tim are great hosts and puppy Nina is great fun to play with. Linda and Patrick

Freundliche Gastgeber, bequemes Bett, schöne Küche, toll in der Natur gelegen, Fahrzeug notwendig

Our experience with Tim and Dagmar was fantastic. They were exceptional hosts and we could even leave some of our stuff in their house while we were tramping the Abel Tasman Track. The house is just incredibly beautiful. The room is upstairs from the living area so you can have privacy (Although getting to know these guys was great :). Views from the room were amazing. We loved our stay -probably the top one after 3 weeks travelling around NZ-.

a lovely place.. the best was the view was awesome both day and night.. both tim and dagmar were great host.. very welcoming and helpful.. dagmar also bring us around her garden really lovely.. recommend!

Sehr angenehme, unkomplizierte Gastgeber. Tolles Zimmer, wunderschöne Aussicht. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt.

My mum and I had an absolutely perfect stay with Tim and Dagmar, they have a wonderful home which we were extremely jealous of. The view is even more breathtaking than the photos give credit (which is saying something), it was only a flying visit of one night but I'd really have liked to stay longer - it's not far from the national park and it's such a wonderful, secluded and infinitely beautiful place. I have to make a special mention about Nina, their puppy, who I fell in love with, she's an excitable bundle of energy and makes a very poor guard dog as when we arrived she greeted us with licks and lots of puppy love. Tim and Dagmar were so sweet and welcoming, they offered advice on where to go and made us feel very at home. Their kitchen is great, too, we cooked a little but could hardly tear my attention from the breathtaking views which you can see from every part of the house. I truly recommend staying here, you're guaranteed to have a great stay!

A spacious home from home. Fabulous location for touring. Clean, modern, well equipped. Friendly & helpful hosts. What more could you ask for

Lovely cottage, a lot more spacious than the pictures suggest. A nice change after getting soaked walking the Abel Tasman track.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Cottage and it felt like home. It is nicely furnished and the kitchen is very well equipped (it even has a washing machine). There is also a nice garden with some lambs and hens. We would definitely come back to stay again.

This was the BEST AirBnB property we have ever stayed at. Everything about it was classy and we highly recommend it for anybody travelling to Motueka.

Logement très agréable,près du centre mais au calme.Il est très bien agencé avec une jolie décoration et lumineux.Depuis la fenêtre on peut voir le spectacle des moutons courant après les poules . Si nous repassons dans la région nous y retournerons.

We enjoyed staying here, very handy to town - lovely and clean space. Good email updates. It was great watching sheep in the yard while having breky.

We had a very enjoyable, comfortable two night stay in the cottage. Lovely place would highly recommend to anyone staying in Motueka. Very clean and tidy, true to photos. Has everything you needed for a long or short stay. Davy and Joanne are very friendly welcoming hosts.

Davy and Joanne's cottage has a wonderful feel to it. Very spacious and you makes feel like staying in your own home.

A beautiful and well kept place in the perfect location with everything you would need for your stay. Super close to Kayak tour to the Abel Tasman as well as the supermarket. Rae and Aarons were very accommodating with our late night (10pm) arrival, equipped with torches to help us find the room. The complimentary breakfast made for the perfect start to the day and it was a pleasure to meet Toby and Autumn, the family pets. Highly recommend to all.

Gorgeous place to stay! Amazing location too

Very nice accommodation, quiet and private location, very friendly hosts, unfortunately we didn't talk much since we arrived later than expected and were very exhausted from our hike through the nearby Abel Tasman National Park. Clean and tidy, would come again. Definitely make the way down to the waterfall!

Nice place near Marahau. We did have several bugs flying around that disturbed our sleep and it was quite stuffy inside. The breakfast muesli was delicious however.

Sehr schöne Unterkunft, wenn man keine Probleme mit Katzen oder Hunden hat. Der Hund bleibt immer oben, die Katze kommt schon auch mal nach unten. Der Raum und auch das Bad liegen im Untergeschoss, verfügen aber über einen separaten Eingang. Es ist alles sehr sauber und schön eingerichtet. Zudem werden für das Frühstück Toast, Milch, Marmelade, Butter und Tee bereitgestellt. Die Lage ist für Touren im Abel-Tasman Nationalpark super, nach Kaiteriteri braucht man mit dem Auto ca 10 Minuten, zum Split Apple Rock ebenfalls. Wirklich eine sehr, sehr schöne Unterkunft.

The bathroom (shower) was a right cracker. Big enough to host a show number or two in. I often found myself in there pondering life's greater mysteries, such as dental hygiene or what a sesame actually looks like. Great place for a lie in, the room that is. Not a bad selection of tea either, five stars to the hearty English Breakfast or that could have been the Orange I was downing. I'd gladly stay again, just to have another sing song in that shower.

Beautiful self contained ensuite room with private terrace. Had everything you could want including great breakfast. Very friendly hosts. Brilliant location.

Lovely place, cosy, private, adorable cat and dog. Warm welcome. Very close to the parc.

Sue is such an awesome host! She is so kind and friendly, offering suggestions and tips for my travels and just having a good conversation overall! She has a beautiful and cozy home with the best location for a close drive to Abel Tasman. And Motueka has good restaurants all within a few minutes. Make sure to check out Toad Hall if you stay here! The room was very spacious and the bed was SUPER comfortable. Sue made sure to check a few times throughout the stay that everything was okay and she let me keep my luggage there while I was in Abel Tasman bc I didn't want to leave it in my car. I was even able to do laundry there!

We had a great time there. Sue welcomed us friendly and hosted us very well. The house is well located for both, Kaiteriteri and the Abel Tasman National Park, although Nelson isn't far away. The garden is perfect for relaxing, so is the bedroom. We can definitely recommend this accomondation.

Great and super friendly hosts. We really enjoyed the stay. Highest recommendations!

Didn't have the chance to meet Sue. But she let us stay at her house and use anything we needed. Really nice house.

Sue's place is really nice and comfortable and I admire her lemon tree in the garden. :) She is very friendly and kind person. Highly recomended for your staying.

Good place for a stopover and everything we needed was available.

The room is so cosy and loverly. I and my boyfriend enjoyed nice room and warm bed. Host is nice and friendly. It's close to Abel Tasman. I wanna stay here when I visit Motueka again.

Sue es una gran anfitriona. La casa estaba muy limpia, la habitación estaba muy bien y la cama es grande muy cómoda. Estuvimos muy agusto. 100% recomendable.

Affordable, with a billion-dollar view. The place meets all the basic needs. Perfect place for a peaceful rest.

What a magical place! My only regret is that we didn't stay longer. The room itself is just immaculate. It's spotlessly clean with everything you could need - including a small kitchen area! It is beautifully colourful, while being tasteful & stylish. It feels spacious and homely immediately. We arrived after a really long drive, but just walking into this beautiful room put us both in a great mood! But, the room aside - it is set among the most beautiful surroundings. The house itself is gorgeous with lots classy & quirky details. You drive into a beautiful front yard with lovely fliers & grass. Jane's son's art gallery / workshop - where he makes some incredible wicker sculptures - is on site. And the beautiful water is literally across the road - stunning! The pictures do not do it justice! And Jane herself was just lovely & kind. After our really long drive, she knew how tired we would be and so she specifically told us to have a lie in to freshen up! And that made all the difference for the rest of our trip :) And I would also definitely take Jane's advice on going to "Toad Hall" for lunch. It is her son's restaurant which she recommended to us. We went mainly because Jane was so kind to us - but, not necessarily expecting much. But, my my, it was amazing!! Just the most gorgeous restaurant with outdoor & indoor seating, wonderful friendly staff, quick service & the most delicious food! I think I may have eaten my best burger of my life there! I'd unreservedly recommend Jane's place to anyone - ideally not just for a stopover! Thank you again, you were wonderful :) Ovi & Hannah xxx

What lovely comfortable accommodation in a good location. Everything was as described and I enjoyed the privacy.

Clean and cosy retro themed beach studio. The hosts are very friendly, gave us good tips on where to visit and eat, and let us use their BBQ. The studio has a lovely view of the beach and was a good base for trips to Kaiteriteri/Abel Tasman.

Great little place close to the town and golf course. Would highly recommend and the coffee at Toad Hall is awesome.

Staying at The Beached Kiwi was a lovely experience. Jane and her family gave us lots of great advice on things to do in the area. Would definitely come back!

Beautiful people and place. Great bed! Love it. Will be back.

Great views to wake up to. Thanks Jane

Extremely nicely furnished little flat that was perfectly equipped with everything a guest needs. The house is right on the beach so there is a beautiful walk at the doorstep and town is only a short walk away. Brekky was provided and was delicious!

This quaint little apartment is set in the most beautiful landscape. It's a heavenly retreat in Abel Tasman's nature. We loved every minute here. Everything felt like home, and Jean-Francois was generous, welcoming, and kind. What a joy it was to stay here. We highly recommend it! :)

A really nice apartment, a 5 minute drive from the aqua taxis. The apartment is great with a beautiful outlook over the hills towards the ocean. The place is nice and the kitchen is well equipped (though no microwave) we loved our stay and would go back in an instant.

We loved everything about our stay in Abel Tasman. The apartment was very nice, spacious and clean. You can really relax while admiring stunning views from the backyard. A big plus is the powerful internet connection! Kitchen is well equipped, and host provides cleaning products and tioletteries that are friendly for the environment. We can definitely say this place is family friendly too (we travel with a 3 months old baby). Last but not the least Jean-Francois is an extremely nice host. He is helpful, approachable and he's got great recommendations for treks and trips around Abel Tasman and Golden Bay. At the end of our stay we really didn't feel like going back. So be prepared that the serenity of the place may trap you.

Lovely secluded place with great views of the sea and abel tasman. Beautiful spot and Jean-Francois was very accomadating and a great host

The place was something we always wanted for a relaxing holiday. Great views, good Accomodation, a great host. We really enjoyed our 6 days there. Jean is a super host and helped us out with recommending places only locals will know. Thanks a lot for hosting us Jean.

We loved staying here! Our host was wonderful and made us feel so welcome. He gave great recommendations on places to go and local companies to use. The location is lovely and peaceful and we really enjoyed cooking in the kitchen and eating at our table outside overlooking the garden and water.

Absolutely adorable home on the top of a mountain overlooking fishermans island. The sunset and stars were amazing, apartment was comfortable and was a delight to come home to after a long hike. Definitely appreciated the strong wifi as it's hard to come by in this area, and appreciated the warm welcome and thoughtfulness of the host. Highly recommended!

Jean-Francois was exceptionally welcoming and accommodating. The view is spectacular and the lodging secluded, but not too far if you have a question or two. Would highly recommend

A cosy little place, with a lovely comfortable bed. Enjoyed our winter break here immensely.

We really enjoyed staying at this beautifully decorated and very thoughtfully equipped cosy studio. It was warm, quiet and really homely. And to top it all, Kal was an amazing host, that went extra mile to make us feel welcomed and comfortable.

Cosy little studio for a one night stay, with every thing you need. Very clean and fresh decor. Bed a little soft for us, but each to their own. Owners are super friendly and helpful.

Cute separate studio behind the house. Small and clean with everything one needs. Kal and Andy were wonderful, very helpful and sweet. The wifi works if you put in all the codes and addresses manually. Easy to check in.

A lovely neat compact studio which has everything you would need. The bed is super comfy and there are lots of lovely decor touches etc to make your stay more enjoyable. Andy and Kal are very welcoming hosts and lovely people. Mary

We had a great nights stay and were very comfortable. Kal warmly welcomed us and offered us local advice and we found everything we could need in the cottage (toiletries, travel brochures, milk and cereal). Thanks for a great stay, would stay again if we returned to the area.

Kal is a gracious host, and the small studio had everything we needed. Off-street parking and breakfast supplies are provided. We truly enjoyed our short stay, and would highly recommend staying here.

Andy and Kals place is a lovely little self contained cottage in their garden setting. Kal made us feel very welcome and had thought of lots of little details in the cottage like shampoo, toothpaste, floss, muesli, jams etc to make it a very enjoyable stay. Lovely comfortable bed too so had a great sleep!

Liviu en Anna were great hosts, sharing their home and daily activities with us. For example helping them to gather their small herd of sheep for treatment. The room offered was splendid and Anna's breakfast healthy and so well presented. Their location is excellent for many activities related to Abel Tasman Park. Their orchard offered a great choice of fruits, their plums the best we ever had. We will remember many great exchanges of ideas we had together.

Anna and her husband were incredible hosts! Their home is gorgeous and they are beyond generous. They made us beautiful breakfasts, taught us how to make homemade yogurt (that Anna later made into a delicious labneh!), and made us tea with fresh herbs from their garden. They also let us rent their mountain bikes---they are very high quality! We road 40 km of Tasman's Great Taste Trail, which you can pick up right outside their home. Their home was one of the best places that we stayed at in NZ. We went to Nelson later in our trip and paid way more for our accommodations--the rooms/experience didn't come close to Anna's home. We hope to come back someday!

We had a very relaxing stay with Anna, her place is fantastic and her tea concoctions were lovely. Very comfortable bed and great location. Very friendly reception and a pleasure to stay.

We had a great time and the house is just wonderful. Spacious, elegant, clean. The garden is great to sit in and just read a book. The breakfast was great and cooked with lots of love and we had great fun chatting with Anna and her husband. Im just sorry we couldn t stay longer. Good luck Anna and thanks for everything!

We had a great stay at Annas house. The room is very spacious and clean. The breakfast was delicious with fresh fruits from the garden. Wifi connection is very well. The house is located perfect for a tour in the Abel Tasman Park and you can also find restaurants in a few kilometers. You should bring your own hairdryer if you need one.

This is a very new house and Anna keeps it spotless. The room is spacious and the bed very comfortable. Really enjoyed the breakfast and also the fact that the house was on the main cycle track that can take you either to Mapua or Motueka. For a small charge we could hire bikes from Anna to make the trip. Many thanks again for the opportunity to stay.

Anna gave us a warm welcome, showed us their beautiful, modern and big house. The room and ensuite bathroom were clean, spacious and stylish and Anna made us lovely beakfasts even when we had to leave very early. We can highly recommend her place when you are travelling by car.

Anna's farm was amazing! She was warm and friendly from the beginning. This was our very first Airbnb so we weren't sure what to expect. What makes her stand out was all the little touches she added to the stay. There were fresh flowers and fruit in our room (from her farm) that were refreshed daily. She had candles lit at night when we came home from dinner and a small area set up for us to have a night cap and look at the stars- Amazing. The breakfasts were to die for- not your standard eggs and sausage you get everywhere. This was lovingly hand made with herbs and items from her farm (eggs from the chickens we saw around and figs from the tress outside, etc) it was all put together in mouthwatering fashion and presented in such a way to be a delight for the eyes as well. She even made us homemade cheese! Her stories of moving to the area and her experiences here were wonderful to listen to and rounded out the stay and gave us more information about New Zealand which is what I wanted from a farm stay. It was a win/win stay here if you can- you won't be disappointed. Peace, Laura

This place will be next level cool during warmer months, be great staying with a friend or two. The outdoor kitchen is epic

A very friendly and warm host:)

Carolyn's lovely self-contained studio apartment is set in beautiful garden surroundings in a quiet spot only a couple of minutes from the lovely little hamlet of Mapua. It'seems well positioned, being close enough to the amenities of Nelson whilst only a short and scenic drive from the Abel Tasman national Park. Carolyn couldn't have been more welcoming and gave me practicall advice on how to get the most from my stay. There are also vineyards on the doorstep. The apartment is well-equipped and freshly decorated with every thing I needed to make my stay comfortable and relaxed. Thanks Carolyn.

Carolyn was absolutely perfect. The cottage is so comfortable and very clean. She gave us all the informations we needed. The view is also great and the cheaps were lovely ! Recommended!!!

Wonderful hostess, wonderful location. ...great place to stay.

Carolyn is very nice, and the place is awesome as well!!! Btw, the bed is quite comfortable!!!

Roomy yet cosy. Irma has done well making a home out of the house truck. Bed was comfy and warm. Highly recommend

What an awesome experience!

Great place, highly recommend!

Wirklich eine tolle außergewöhnliche Erfahrung. Der Truck und die Umgebung sind wirklich traumhaft und Irma ist eine tolle Gastgeberin, die uns herzlich empfangen hat und sogar selbstgemachte Snacks und frische Milch für uns bereitgestellt hat. Das Bett ist super gemütlich. Nur weiterzuempfehlen!

We liked it so much we doubled our length of stay. An amazingly well thought out design which works perfectly. Comfy bed, bright, tasteful, secluded and everything you could wish for. The outside shower and loo just accentuated the quirkiness of the whole set up. Could not recommend more.

House truck was a beautiful and unique place to stay and Irma was a welcoming and helpful host

It was the most special experience in my life. The place is in a lovely village and the house is enclosed. Everything I needed was supplied by Irma. The woody house is so fabulous, it is cozy, warm, nice look with some fancy stuffs, and Irma also provided me their fresh milk and coconut snacks which all made by themselves! Highly recommended if somebody loves nature or wants to experience a fantastic natural life.

The house-truck is one of the coolest AirBnB's I've stayed in. It's very spacious and comfortable and the truck itself is endlessly interesting. Irma left us toasted coconut pieces and fresh raw cows milk, which were both a delight.

Wonderful stay - excellent value. Birds, animals, great hosts.

Mike and Pam are such a pair of great hosts. They have a bunch of friendly animals: horses, sheep, free running chickens and duck. Not to mention the well-kept garden and fruit trees. It is a must to stay at this place and spend some quality quiet time here just to enjoy Mike & Pam's place.

Definitely recommend it

We loved staying at Mike & Pam's cosy little apartment. It felt like home. The place was warm and cosy which was good as we brought the wet weather with us from Australia. We really appreciated the fresh eggs, bread, juice and jam as well as the delicious apple cake and home brew. All of this was definitely not expected but such a nice surprise. I loved feeding the chickens and Monty the horse and playing with Gypsy and Maggie. We are more than happy to recommend others stay at Mike and Pam's place.

A great place to stay! Nice and relaxing with animals around, nice to walk down to the seafront. Great own bathroom with laundry machine, just next door. Pam and Mike are warm and friendly hosts that can tell you about things to do in the area and elsewhere in NZ. We would definitely stay again, our 5 nights just flew by.

This was a truly lovely place to stay. We felt so welcome and at home. The space was very comfortable and had everything we could have hoped for. The bed was extremely comfortable and the entire space pristinely clean. Pam & Mike were incredibly welcoming and invited us and our toddler to visit with all of the animals, feed them and cuddle those that were willing. Pam was very generous and easy with including our toddler in caring for the animals and he loved that. We were incredibly blessed to see twin baby lambs literally minutes after they were born. All of the animals quite obviously feel deeply loved and at ease and it is wonderful to be included in the experience of being there with them. Pam also left delicious breakfast foods for us, and brought a yummy lemon yogurt cake by in the afternoon. We couldn't have had a better stay and were sad to leave. Thank you Pam & Mike for opening your home to us.

We felt very welcomed the moment we arrived at Brown's Bush. The spacey studio is lovely equipped and absolutely cosy. The Brown's are perfect hosts and we wished we could have stayed longer.

It was a last minute change that brought us to stay with Pam and Mike and we couldn't have been luckier. A lovely, modern space with cozy furnishings (including a super comfy bed!) appointed with everything you could possibly need and more. Pam's generous touches made our visit extra special and it was a true pleasure to meet her extended family of beautiful animals. A must stay!
