Beautiful cottage in a gorgeous setting. Great hosts who were very accommodating with our change in circumstances ( cancelled ferry then a delayed ferry South). Well equipped, clean, wish we could have stayed longer. Lovely alpacas and pig that the kids thoroughly enjoyed feeding.

Super comfy, welcoming cottage

Located in a beautiful rural setting this cottage has such a welcoming feel and had everything we required to feel like we were at home away from home. Great base to explore the Tasman region or just to enjoy the peace and quiet that this property offers.

We were pleasantly surprised when we arrived at this beautiful country cottage. Nestled just a short distance from the beach(with access), it is surrounded by beautiful gardens and we found it very comfortable and a very relaxed atmosphere. It was more than we expected, with a very nice kitchen, very comfy beds, lots of windows to enjoy the beautiful views and so close to Motueka and Kaiteriteri (Abel Tasman National Park). We thoroughly enjoyed staying at this property and would recommend it for two couples or a family.

Gorgeous cottage, perfect for a family

The cottage is gorgeous and had everything we needed for a week-long stay. Only 10 minutes drive from the beach and restaurants or bike it in 25. General store close by too. Taking an outdoor bath and feeding the animals were highlights.

Nelson Coastal Cottage "Barnstay"

Stunning property, with Stunning views in a stunning location, complete with on site resident Llamas & Dudley the Pig. Lovely host Jenny made us feel most welcome. We came over for a winter break from the North Island and the Cottage was welcoming, private, warm and cozy. This place hit all the right spots for us. Whatever the weather, or time of year there would always be something to do. Lesley & Mick
