I highly recommend Beachfront Luxury in Ruby Bay. Our stay lasted more than two weeks and we made great use of the house amenities. The kitchen is well-stocked with equipment, pots/pans, and spices. Karen and John are excellent hosts. They allowed us to pick fresh vegetables and fruit from their garden. The location is quiet, but still provided easy access to the national parks, Māpua, Motueka, and Nelson. Beach access is just a few steps away and we were able to kayak around Ruby Bay right from the property. We sat out on the covered back porch most days to take in the view and regularly walked the beach at low tide. Everything in the house worked as expected and we did not want for anything.
