A relaxing setting

We really enjoyed this property. It was tastefully decorated, clean and quiet. It was a great to see all the bird life and having the small shop with excellent coffee onsite was an extra treat.

The accommodation is very tastefully furnished. You feel right at home immediately. Everything you need is provided. The bed was very comfortable because the mattress is brand new. It's a wonderful place to relax.The hosts are very kind and helpful. They gave us lots of great tips for exploring the area. The on-site café is also lovely—they serve delicious coffee and sweets. It’s a place where you really want to spend time.

Lovely vacation spot, wonderful hosts

We truly enjoyed our stay! Very comfortable accommodations and generous hosts. Their gardens were lovely and their little cafe/store had delicious treats. They even had a very well equipped first aid kit when we needed it! Lots to see and do in the area. We were there 3 nights and would have enjoyed staying longer.

Beautiful with retreat with the best hosts, you could ask for!

Paul and Karen were very welcoming, and went out of their way to make our holiday a great one. We felt like we had a little oasis of our own with a beautiful large garden area that was for our use. The location is central to all the action in the Tasman area. The farm shop was wonderful for picking up fresh produce, and we had many coffees sitting down there enjoying the vibe. The unit was a bit rustic, but overall, we really enjoyed ourselves and would highly recommend it. We felt like we were leaving friends when we departed. Marie and Gus

We really enjoyed meeting Marie and Gus. It's so nice when we get approval from our guests. We feel it's so important to go the extra mile. A few little extras in the fridge, make sure our guests have everything they need on arrival. So pleased you had such a lovely time here. Hope we'll see you again.

All that it is advertised to be

What a magic spot well situated between Mapua and Motueka. A quiet location elevated with a vista of hills and inlet. The unit is attached to owners place but very private with own deck and entry just as you see in the pictures. Really nicely appointed with all you need for a comfortable stay.The hosts are really lovely people very helpful but respect your privacy. We used the courtesy bikes enjoyed walking in their gardens and the bonus of their onsite wee cafe serving great coffee and selling produce from their stunning gardens. A must stay experience. Thanks guys .

Superb Location & hospitality

We booked the Garden house for a weeks rest & relaxation and got both in spades. Paul & Karen were all and more you could ask for in a host. Both in making sure your stay is as you want it and help with local knowledge for places to visit. Gave some sound advice for catching a Salmon at Anatoki Salmon in Takaka. Garden house is everything you need to achieve a relaxing break, great location between Motueka & Mapua with the garden café and shop a short walk away for your Coffee or iced latte and freshley picked fruits from the property. Located amongst the lovely gardens with lots of colour and variety. It was tempting to stay for longer but we had settle for the thought of returning at another time.

perfect in every way,

We stayed at the Garden studio for a week, and felt so lucky to have chosen this accommodation. The studio was exactly as shown, comfortable, well appointed and for us- most importantly- set in one of the most beautiful locations we’ve ever stayed. Our hosts, Paul and Karen, were wonderful and made us feel like their guests, not just someone renting their unit. The location is very convenient for this area and made day trips to Nelson, Mapua and Motueka a breeze. Thank you PAul and Karen, if we’re ever back we know where we’re staying!

Michelle and Ken stayed for a week. Such lovely guests, we couldn't but help ourselves from making sure they were well catered for. The accommodation was left spotless, Michelle even laundered the bedding for us, which was greatly appreciated. Thank you ! Don't hesitate to take bookings from this wonderful couple. Hope to see you both again! Kind regards Paul and Kay

Beautiful little studio

This bach was so lovely, out of the way of Nelson, but super close to Motueka and Mapua. The hosts were lovely, always giving recommendations and checking in. The garden store they own next door is also lovely, with coffee, fruit, veg and other local goods. Super clean, well stocked with everything you need! Would recommend.

Garden House Kina

Beautiful location reasonably close to Abel Tasman National Park - you will however need a car to get around as it is quite far from the airport, restaurants, shops etc.

Beautiful and well equipped house, located in a green and very peaceful area.

Beautiful and well equipped house, located in a green and very peaceful area. It's also close to the host's house so it's easy to get in touch for any request. We had excellent nights of sleep and overall a great time.

OTHER GUESTS RESPONSE: Dean February 2018 Great accommodation in a nice rural setting but still close to everything in Tasman/Nelson. Great place for couples. Would stay again! Stephen March 2018 Our hosts Paul and Karen were extremely friendly and helpful, they were very knowledgeable of the whole area, making our stay even better!

We enjoyed having these lovely guests. They even did some gardening for us and sharpened my hedge cutter ! The accommodation was left spotlessly clean after a 2 week stay. Thoroughly recommended them.
