Hotel holiday rentals in Te Ika-a-Māui / North Island

Chris's place is located in a beautiful setting overlooking the coast, as far as the eye can see. The place was comfortable, clean and we had the best time ever.

We loved our stay at Eric’s. It is a perfect base for exploring Abel Tasman which we did. Sharing the kitchen worked well and we met people from all over the world. It is always lovely to chat to people who also love travelling. There was plenty of space to sit outside and the gardens were beautiful. It did look slightly different to the photos as they were obviously taken a few years ago and lots of the bushes etc have now grown quite a bit but I was still able to recognise it from the photos. Breakfast is plentiful with eggs from Barb’s chickens and lots of options of bread, pastries and cereals. The bed was massive and the shower super powerful! We would definitely recommend and will visit again if we manage to return to NZ!

We had an absolutely gorgeous stay at this property. I wish we were there for more than one night! The hosts were so friendly and we were blown away by the beautiful surroundings and comfort of our cottage. Everything was perfectly clean and we felt right at home. The views, especially from the shared pool and spa area are unbeatable. We also loved feeding the sheep who live on the property! I highly recommend booking as it was one of the highlights of our 3-weeks in New Zealand.

We had a good stay at The Alpine Chalets. Checkin and checkout were very easy. Stewart and Mary were very responsive and provided clear instructions. The place was very accessible to everything that you might need like bus stop, restaurants and dairy. The room is a bit dated, especially the toilet and shower, but overall it was functional, clean and tidy.

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

Dani’s place is nothing short of amazing. One of the best places we’ve ever stayed at. Beautiful, relaxing settings, have a drink by the fireplace, enjoy an amazing breakfast in the morning. We will most definitely be back!

Gorgeous accommodation with a stunning outlook! Nuala was quick to respond and even came out to say Hi when she saw us. Loved the extra little touch on the chalk board outside :D The Villa itself was very clean, tidy and felt private, bonus is that it's close to the beach where we got to watch an amazing sunset on our first night, and there's a lovely coastal walk just down the drive all the way into town. 100% recommend and we'd definitely love to stay again!

What an amazingly hand crafted house this is!! Jen greeted us so warmly and gave us a wonderful run down of the features and history of the barn. We were really inspired by Dowie and Jen’s creativity and self-sufficiency. Jen’s suggestion to check out a local private hot mineral pool was SO GOOD!! Our family loved the experience of spending time in a naturally heated pool with revitalising minerals. A truly unique experience staying here and a great location to visit Hobbiton!

wonderful and friendly couple. the breakfast was fanominal. would definitely go back!

Great place to stay, especially if you’re trying to find something near Spark! Staff were all lovely

I normally leave 5 stars because everything is fine or as expected, but I would leave this place 6 stars if I could. It’s far and away the best AirBnB I have stayed at. The place itself is very tranquil, homey and a great spot to unwind, yet also only 5 minutes into town for restaurants. Melana was such a great host from offering a welcome drink and snack, to giving local restaurant suggestions, to providing a choice of hot breakfast in the morning. I only stayed one night, but would definitely seek her place out again the next time I’m back in the area.

Very nice place, friendly hosts and peaceful. The beds were super comfortable and my children enjoyed the space. I liked that they had SKY and the good channels too ☺️ restaurants and supermarket within walking distance! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!!! Thank you!!!!

The Moon Gate Villa completely exceeded expectations. My partner and I were very well looked after. Our room was vey comfortable and cosy, with a lovely garden right outside our door. And the breakfast was absolutely delicious. We will definitely be coming back.

What a wonderful host. Very accommodating, flexible, and friendly. Such a great way to start our trip. Close walk to restaurants, cafeś, and the beach! Such a great location! Great stay!

Wir haben uns bei Jeanette und Arnie sehr wohlgefühlt. Arnie hat uns auf deutsch mit vielen Informationen und Anekdoten über die Umgebung und Neuseeland versorgt und uns die Vorzüge eines Airfryers näher gebracht. die beiden bewohnen ein wunderschönes Haus in einer äußerst ruhigen Wohngegend nahe am Wasser. Vielen Dank für diesen Aufenthalt!

A truly memorable stay. The spacious rooms were modern and well presented with luxurious furniture, blinds and curtains creating ambience, yet warm and comfortable. The big bed also had luxe linen and a choice of pillows. The same attention to detail was applied to the complimentary food. We were spoilt with an array of sweets and beverages on arrival. Breakfast was also a feast for the eyes, with a vaiety of flavours and generous servings. The quaint ensuite had the same luxurious linen and bathroom products. The private, large, outdoor spa (and candles) were appreciated and added to our getaway. The location was perfect, only minutes drive to a supermarket, chemist and bar. The lovely, landscaped property was private and secure. Everything we needed and the hosts were very obliging.

Clear instructions to accommodate my late arrival. Thanks!

We loved our one night stay at Century Park - the room was very clean and it had everything we needed. Being 35 weeks pregnant it was really important to me to have a big, comfortable bed, and so I was relieved to find that I slept the same as if I were in my own bed at home! The spa bath was also amazing for my aching muscles at the end of the day. We'd definitely come back again if we need a place to stay in Nelson in the future :)

This was such a beautiful, cozy, peaceful place to stay. We loved waking up to the surroundings and fresh breakfast every morning. Our doggo was also treated like a princess and had lots of space to run around and play ball then take a nap on the deck. Super convenient location that had lots of privacy, everything you need they’ve thought of! My partner loved the pool table and games room. I’m currently pregnant and the bed was like sleeping on a cloud! Can’t thank Lisa and her husband enough for having us and going above and beyond. Lots of love, thought and effort has gone into this place and it shows. Will be back ✨

Overall I really enjoyed staying here. It was well worth the cost paid, central to amenities, modern. Absolutely loved the shower! Would stay again, highly recommended

We stayed at Adams place for 1 night while travelling down to the South island. 4 of us plus our doggie. It was a pity that we couldn't stay longer as the location was perfect. Within walking distance if the lakeside restaurants and shops. It was very clean and tidy and the kids loved that there was Netflix available when they got there.
