Wonderful stay

Beech hill was a fantastic and tranquil place and we loved every moment of our stay. The property was clean and well appointed and the dog also loved the wonderful surrounds. The hosts were great and the opportunity for the kids to feed and groom the horses was an added plus. Thanks for a wonderful stay and we will definitely be back!

Post wedding get away

Beautiful location and home. Nic was a wonderful host. Great communication and lovely to meet her when we arrived. The house was so cosy and had everything we needed. Bonus that we could bring our fur baby with us. We just wished that we had more time there (lots of family time post wedding). Would love to come back and stay again!

Nic and Wayne are the consummate hosts! They were very accommodating (4 fur babies) and their spot was perfect for exploring the Nelson/Tasman Area.It was close to the wineries, other towns/cities, the beaches, and farms. At night, it's super quiet and we got to enjoy seeing the stars and milky way from the comfort of the bedroom.The kitchen is well stocked with essentials and if there's anything you might need, Nic and Wayne are very responsive and ready.The heated floors are a huge bonus!We also enjoyed meeting their horses and pony on the property. Nic also recommended a lot of places and activities to do. Their house manual covers everything from pet-friendly to kid-friendly recommendations.Overall, it was a beautiful retreat in the heart of Nelson/Tasman. 10/10 would recommend.

Home away from home

Cozy, clean and full of adventure for the whole family. ( including our puppy ). Such a beautiful setting with the perfect amount of tranquility. We were only 35 mins from home but felt further away. The space was perfect for our family of 4, comfortable beds and facilities. This property has everything you need. We loved visiting all your precious animals as well. We will be back !

A gem located so close to Nelson

Such an amazing property with great hosts. You feel like you are very far from the hustle and bustle of the city but yet so close. Mapua is like a 5 min drive. Our family was here overnight for a Mother's day getaway and we had everything we needed. Nic had taken care of everything. Its a 12 hectare property with horses, goats, ponies and even glow worms. Its perfect for kids Absolutely loved staying here. Will be back for a longer stay. Thank you Nic

Clean, tidy and well appointed

Great wee property set in secluded woodland setting. The property owner Nic was on hand but certainly not obtrusive - just made sure we were all set and then left us to it. This is a really lovely place, nicely appointed and super clean.

We had a wonderful stay at Beech Hill. Our 6 yo loved everything about the bach - feeding the horses and goats, the playground, toys, games and books. We enjoyed returning to the tranquility of Beech Hill after our outings and activities.
