Holiday rentals with breakfast in Spring Creek

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.

The cow shed is such a unique and joyful experience. Our kids loved the stay and Angela was so helpful and thoughtful. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the cow shed.

Lisa's place was so eclectic and cosy. Loved the personal area of the Irish bar and spent both of our nights there watching TV and having a few wines. It was obvious a lot of time and love had gone into our room with beautiful decor. Great selection of breakfast supplies, supremely comfortable bed and lovely hot shower. Loved the outdoor sitting area as well. Easy access to the town area of Picton and restaurants. Lisa and Andy were such lovely people and open to a chat and local recommendations. Would thoroughly recommend this gorgeous studio.

Great place, very clean, simple but good breakfast, excellent and friendly host

lovely place, very homey and relaxing. the kids loved all the games, toys and activities. we loved our stay, it was Cosy and had everything we needed

Alan and Aleeze were such accomodating and helpful hosts...especially as we arrived in pouring rain! The cabin was so quaint, full of character and tucked away in its own wee piece of quiet paradise in amongst beautiful trees. Everything was explained thoroughly as they showed us around and then promptly left us to enjoy their hard work. While it was too wet and the river too high to explore, it was idyllic sitting in the hot tub listening to the river and the birds. We left feeling well rested! Thank you!!

Jacquline was super freindly and helpfull. Pointed out the best places to go visit and eat. Her place was stunning and peaceful. She had all the extras thought about. Super helpful. Look forward to go back.

Mary Ann and Andy, thanks legends for an amazing stay! Right from our arrival to all of the yummy fridge goodies, the firewood ready to go, fluffy robes as well as all your local recommendations, your warmth and hospitality really shone through. We can’t recommend Quail Run Cottage enough!

Wonderful place! It’s spacious, has great amenities, beautiful view of Cook Strait (and can hear the water from the place and it’s only a few hundred meter walk to get to the water from the back patio), and is so clean. In addition, Melanie makes you feel special with a personal welcome, robes, and a lot of breakfast items to make it feel like home. Mel’s communication is proactive and responsive, and she’s great to communicate with. Absolutely great place and like a 5-Star Hotel. Would recommend to anyone and would happily stay again.
