Holiday rentals with a fireplace in Aniseed Valley

Annemarie and Chris’ place was so beautiful, truly heavenly. The kayaks were a great adventure for our girls! The artistic details and decor were incredible. Coffee was 🙌🏻. Will be back.

What can I say! I have just spent the most amazing 10 days at Ginny & Pat's warm and welcoming home, set in the most magnificent 'labour of love' gardens. What a sanctuary of peace and beauty with every amenity you can think of. Ginny and Pat are super friendly, warm, generous hosts who were delightful to spend time with. The home is super comfortable, fully equipped kitchen with everything you can think of, and both inside and outside, there are lovely places to escape to and enjoy the different aspects of the property. Whether you want sun, shade or in between, there is a place to curl up with a book or listen to the radio , everyone with a restful vista. The garden is simply stunning, with beauty everywhere you look, full of joy and serenity. I will be returning and highly recommend this place to other guests looking for something truly special. Thanks Ginny & Pat - you have made my stay one that I will treasure and remember forever.

We had an amazing time! The best view I have ever had at an Airbnb! All the creature comforts of staying in civilization but a little bit out there. We loved being able to explore the island and be only 25 minutes from Nelson. The turkeys and sheep were curious and I think they enjoyed having us around. We will come stay again!

A relaxing comfortable winter break. Great to have a log burner with good supply of wood too. Views from deck and living areas were fabulous. Thanks

On arrival the bach was unfortunately not ready for us, but this was due to an oversight by the cleaner, not Emma. Emma was super quick to respond and very apologetic when we messaged about it and couldn't have been more prompt in getting things resolved which we really appreciated. After this initial blip we loved our four night stay here. The bach feels like the best of both worlds - an old family bach and the charm that comes with that, made even better with significant modernising updates like the massive glass doors, and all the other mod cons and extras (big fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer, heatpump/AC, Chromecast, etc). It is off the beaten track and feels so peaceful and private. Being so close to the sea is a real treat. We would love to come back some time in the warmer months so we can make the most of the amazing outdoor areas and pool! (just a bit too chilly for us softies to swim in it at this time of year... we did love the outdoor fireplace though!). :)

A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Easy walk to the beach. Views were amazing from the large deck and bedrooms. The house was so spacious and well equiped. Would definitely return.

This was a beautiful home with outstanding scenery, modern kitchen , great bed & sharp knives for cooking. You can easily walk to the lake & nearby trails. It was a five star place in most respects. But be aware that The main heat source is a wood stove. So If you don’t like building a fire or are allergic to wood smoke like I am, it’s better to stay here in the warm summer months.

Steph and Mark welcomed us and made us feel at home. We had a great time in the Tasman region. Accommodation was well laid out and overall functional. Really well insulated dwelling with good heating and cooling meant it was always comfortable inside. Would strongly recommend for anyone wanting to explore the area.

Really nice place to stay, my English work mate said it reminded him of the home he grew up in in the Billericay, England with the style, particularly the living room and kitchen.

Valerie and Ewan were very friendly and a highlight was their spectacular garden. We were very lucky to be able to help ourselves to the abundant veggie patch. Lots of yummy treats left for us on arrival. Good small supermarket, a couple of pubs and the amazing bakery. We had a very peaceful Xmas/New Year here.

We found the Clifftop Retreat cabin suited our needs perfectly and Bob provided an excellent level of communication, service and local tips. He also ensured the pantry and wines were stocked with high quality local products. The accomodation was very good with comfortable bed, terrific functional kitchen and amazing clifftop views of the surrounding bay and local area. The location was perfect for our walking trips up into the Abel Tasman National Park and also fantastic local restaurants and wineries. Bob also organised a pick up from the airport for us as we arrived late at night. Overall a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend Clifftop Retreats very highly.

We loved our stay. The house was beautiful and we felt right at home. It had everything that we needed and was located close to town. We would love to stay here again the next time we’re in Nelson!

Quiet, secure. Easy access to restaurants and pub; we appreciated the laundromat a short walk away. Nice amenities in the apartment.

Great place to base yourself for the attractions close by. Beautiful clean spacious apartment. Would highly recommend to others.

Cute little cottage feel, would happily stay again.

A terrific apartment, cute setting with comfortable bedding. Good amenities

It is a lovely house equipped with everything needed for a family vacation. We had an incredible time, highly recommended.

Very well equipped house for a family holiday, had everything we needed. Gorgeous location close to beach, national park and the shops we needed. All 7 of us had a great stay!

We had an absolutely lovely stay at Greg & Jan’s place! We were there to celebrate our mom’s big birthday and it was a wonderful stay. Lovely house with a beautiful pool, kitchen and everything else ❤️ Greg & Jan were delightful hosts, always available to answer any questions we may have. Beautiful place to stay in Blenheim, visiting many wineries nearby. Highly recommend!

Perfect house for a group get away, very clean, had everything we needed and a lixury to each have our own room and bathroom

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

My second time here, I think I'll keep coming back! Just everything I ask for when I want to get away. Close beach and views, garden setting, comfort and of course the hot tub. Everything was great, even the wifi 😏

Great place to stay. We were a group of 9 and we all had plenty of space. The location is a short walk to a Four Square and the Māpua wharf where there are plenty of eateries to choose from and lovely artisan and gift stores. Jane was a great host who communicated well and provided local recommendations. Would happily stay here again.

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.
