Ansarli Villa - Stunning Villa overlooking the Moutere inlet
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 2 reviews
"Our family had a most relaxing and enjoyable stay at the Ansarli Villa. The property and grounds were immaculate, and we had nothing to do except unpack and relax. The location was ideal, private, but reasonably close to amenities and services. Despite thinking we would spend some time exploring the local area, in the end we spent pretty much the whole time on the property as it had absolutely everything we could want there. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely stay again if...

Experience our "High Country Living" on a working farm sanctuary - Tasman NZ
10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, 1 review
"A rustic farm experience in a lovely cabin. Amazing sea and bush views and incredible star gazing. The farm is an animal sanctuary with horses, ducks, geese, chicken, sheep, cattle, pigs and peacocks which really added to the countryside experience. This is a rustic experience similar to glamping so if you're after the 5 star experience this is not for you. If it's a farm experience, excellent star gazing and friendly animals then this is the place! Terri and Jim were excellent hosts always...

2 Nile Court on Nile Street
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, 136 reviews
"Nelson is a wonderful community, and this property is ideally located -- close to downtown, grocery stores, and nearby hiking. Shared bike/ped paths were also nearby for quick access. The unit has a couple of bicycles, and we used these as our primary in-town transportation. The kitchen is well equipped with a good complement of appliances. The garden is a quiet haven with lots of flowers, herbs, and fruit trees. This place is a great find!"

Little Kaiteriteri Rose's bach -3min walk to beach
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, 84 reviews
"This property was about a 15-20 min drive to Abel Tasman NP, and just a short walk to a beautiful beach. The view from the home was outstanding, and visible from anywhere in the living area due to large glass doors/windows on two walls. There was also a large wrap-around porch with outdoor furniture for enjoying the view from outdoors. The furniture was dated, but perfectly comfortable and functional."

Charming house, close to the Maitai River and a gentle walk to town
9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, 32 reviews
"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nelson at Alan’s property. Communication with Alan was a breeze along with check-in and check-out. The house was as advertised, well stocked and clean. The location was amazing, as you could be walking along the Maitai, wandering the Queen’s Gardens or brunching downtown in a matter of minutes. We will definitely be booking Alan’s property on our next visit."
