The beautiful house of Liz and Tony we can recommend to all those, who like to be at a tidal waterfront. The whole house is furnished carefully and all rooms are bright, comfortable and inviting. We specially enjoyed sitting on the deck, it feels like sitting on a boat. Tony and Liz are very heartful and open minded people. It was a pleasure to chat with them. They were wonderful hosts who did everything to make our stay in their house superb. If possible, one day we will come back...

A wonderful place to stay longer and for visiting the surroundings. Such kind hosts. Everything was at its best.

I liked the small place Havelock. The beautifull home of Liz and Tony and the hostes themself are just great! Thank you

Liz and Tony are excellent hosts. Very welcoming and friendly. The house is amazing and it has a balcony with stunning views of pelorus Sound. Our stay was a real highlight of our New Zealand adventure.

Amazing hotel level room with a great view of the water out the window, great supplies in the room and bathroom, and above all, great hosts!

It was really a perfect stay. With a warm welcoming hosts, beautiful home, five stars facilities and stunning view overlooking Pelorus sound. Liz and Tony is lovely hosts. They were welcoming us although we were arrived very late, and had prepare a warm camomile-tea and nice chat to. Totally and thoroughly recommend this as a first class place to stay. Thanks Liz and Tony.

Highly recommended. Hope to live more days. Liz and tony are really nice and we had a great time. The view of the house is fantastic!!

These two were very helpful considerate informative and all round delightful!

Such a well considered, tiny house style cottage. All that we needed for a night stop over with our 5 month old on the way to the ferry. Lisa was incredibly helpful. Would recommend and stay again.

This little place is really lovely. The view from the terrace is incredible, you can sit out in the morning with coffee, in the afternoon and again in the evening with a nice glass of wine and get a completely different perspective on the sound each time with the changing light. The herons and ducks come right up to the water's edge near the terrace, which is lovely. It's very peaceful. The bed is very comfortable, the shower has great pressure and the kitchen is enough to make some breakfast. You can't really cook anything much in it, but that doesn't matter because you're within a 5 minute walk of several very good restaurants including the Mussel Pot, The Captain's Daughter and The Slip Inn. Lisa was really helpful and responsive and it was lovely to meet her. Thanks again Lisa!

Beautiful place with plenty of privacy, peace and gorgeous views and outlook. Have no doubts highly recommending this experience! Within walking distance to great food and drink, a must stay in the region. Thanks Lisa!

Its a cute Little cottage , very clean and comfy. Thank u Lisa

I needed accommodation for one night only in Havelock and Pioneer Cottage fitted the bill perfectly. The cottage was beatifully clean and fully prepared for my arrival. Thank you. I would love to return and bring my wife next time!

Lisa,s studio was very clean and modern. For us however, the space just too small. As we are here for 2 months we have a couple of cases and backpacks and we also have food, towels etc. This made the studio too tight. However, for those travelling light it's perfectly fine. The area is great with nice eateries, walks, kayaking and a great trip on the Mail boat .

Amazing views. The accommodation felt cozy, relaxing, clean, and nicely furnished. It was very thoughtfully set up. Thank you!

Lisa's place is tiny, but it is a wonderful place in an historic property overlooking Pelorus Bay. It is beautifully decorated, has a GREAT shower, and is a perfect location for easy walks around Havelock. Lisa was so nice as well.

If you are looking for the perfect stay, you absolutely must visit - such lovely host Barbara, a beautiful B&B, the best breakfast. Highly recommend a stay there, they'll make you smile and feel at home instantly.

Barbara seems to have thought of everything to make you feel at home and comfortable from the lovely bedroom and the gorgeous bathroom. Everything is spotlessly clean and Barbara treated us to a delicious and nutritious homemade breakfast each day. She had a selection of hot drinks and homemade cookies available for us and both Barbara & Hudson shared some of their interesting life stories with us. They are warm and gracious hosts that I now consider good friends. Their home is located far enough from downtown to be very quiet and yet is an easy walk to town and the marina. They offered great advice on activities. We had all the privacy we needed and good company with them. We even had our own parking space in the carport out of the sun. I honestly can't think of a thing that could have been improved upon. It was a wonderful experience.

Barbara is the nicest host you can imagine. Very welcoming and making sure her guests are happy. We stayed one night on our way to Abel Tasman NP and we would definitely recommend it to other travellers.

This is a great place to stay in Havelock. The hosts are very friendly and the room is spacious and comfortable. There's also a kitchenette with microwave and fridge at your disposal. Breakfast was also fantastic with home milled toast to die for. A 1km walk from the centre of town. Very highly recommended.

Great Havelock home. Close to town - an easy walk. Barbara's place is spotless and nicely decorated. Comfy bed. A lovely private entrance, private bathroom, area with a small refrigerator, microwave and dishes plus an outside eating area near the garden. Hosts were friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend their home.

We loved staying at Barbara's place. Beautiful location, beautiful home, fantastic hosts.

Barbara and Hudson were amazing hosts. They were extremely friendly and easy to communicate with. Barbara laid out breakfast for us every morning, including homemade muffins which were amazing. I definitely recommend this airbnb

Outstanding hosts who made breakfast one of the best parts of our day --- with both food and conversation. They really went all-out to be sure our stay was wonderful.

The incredible came in handy as we had unusual rainy weather. Having the large very nice house with 3 bedrooms allowed us to really chill and relax. Also many nice furnishing touches. we enjoyed the short bush walk across the street.

Lovely home in a beautiful location. Great communication from Sandra.

Beautiful home and views ideal for a quiet getaway ...

Lovely house, quiet and close to bush for wonderful birdsong! The double glazing made for a very warm stay. We loved it.

This is a beautiful, scenic spot. Sandra's instructions to access the house were easy to follow. The house is lovely and quiet with amazing views. Suitable for a couple or family. We arrived late and wish we had brought milk and other supplies because the shop is 15mins away on paper but there is a long windy road in between. The beds are very comfortable and there are nice thick towels for baths or showers. Sandra very kindly provided a late check out, which allowed us to recover from our long trip. We would definitely have stayed longer if we didnt have a ferry to catch! Highly recommended. Would stay again in a heart beat.

Gorgeous view. About a 7 km drive from Havelock on very windy road. Gravel driveway is steep and we decided to park halfway up because we couldn't squeeze our car into the flat parking space between the cottage and cistern and it was a slightly challenging walk for some older people. Beautiful cottage but watch out for bugs, cicadas in summertime if you leave the windows open. It was very hot mid February for us with windows closed. Great location to visit Marlborough wineries and cruises from Picton. Beds were very comfortable. We were glad to have had the opportunity to stay here. Kind host who communicates very well.

Great view, clean and spacious place. Looks just like the photos. We even liked the location. But no wifi and very limited cable.

Great place to stay with an awesome view of the surrounding hills/mountains. Our van was unable to drive up the gravel slope so we had to make a climb up to the house. Other than that, the house is a very beautiful place to stay.

Very friendly and accommodating

This was a very well equipped, clean property. It's Wi-Fi worked great compared to many of our other stays on this trip. Bob was very helpful with recommendations on where to eat and some scenic walks around town. Also, he gave us the opportunity to pick some things from his garden.

Ligita and Bob are a lovely couple, kind, thoughtful and wonderful company. They gave us ideas on what to do and see. We arrived at 7pm after a long journey and they asked us to join them for a BBQ.We had so much fun. Your accommodation is in fact a seperate 1 bedroom apartment with bedroom, shower room, kitchen and lounge with television. In your outside area are your own BBQ and table and chairs. They have thought of everything you need including milk,tea, coffee and chilled water. Thank you so much Ligita and.Bob for a perfect visit.

Ligita & Bob were the best hosts. Place was spotless, well equipped & we had access to the herb/veggie garden for our evening meal as well! Really can't recommend this too highly.

Ligita and Bob! The best people you can hope to meet! Simply amazing, fabulous! Short of adjectives. Bob showed us around, Ligita made us Christmas dinner, they took us around the village. you couldn't ask for anything better. The room is amazing , its clean and furnished with what you may need. Home away from home!

Ligita and Bob were most gracious hosts. Their unit was perfect for the two of us, giving us a quiet bedroom with very comfortable queen bed and a comfy couch in the living room to watch TV. They were very helpful in giving us info of the local activities available including a nice hike from the cemetery and into the bay. Bob took us to where we joined the Friday Mail Run boat run which took us far out into the Sounds of Marlborough - a great all day tour with so much historical info. On our last night Ligata and Bob invited us for wine and cheese fixings. We had a great time chatting with them about so many different issues, both locally and abroad. It truly was as if we were all family.

Ligita & Bob are the best hosts on the planet. This reservation was for y brother and his wife after i had stayed with them back in dec. I wouldn't chose any other. These guys are family now.

Nice and clean and Ligita and Bob were very friendly and helpful

Beautiful place.

Lovely bach in magical gardens. Renate was really flexible about our late arrival from Picton. Ground coffee and olive oil (separate!) were a nice touch. We really enjoyed our too brief stay.

Really nice cosy place to stay! Would love to come back and stay for longer.

A sweet spot for quiet respite in a cute and well equipt cottage near some incredible hiking and outdoor opportunities. We loved our stay here amongst Renate's wonderful fruit trees and gardens!

Barbara was so friendly and did everything in her power to make sure I was comfortable, able to relax and enjoy what I could of the local area. She was generous with her time and space, and I felt very welcome. Her dogs are so lovely, and the bed was very comfortable. The amenities attached to the house were private and more than sufficient. The view is stunning which makes the deck the ideal place to spend the afternoon! Barbara was flexible and accommodating and I felt lucky to have found the place, it was like staying at a friend's holiday house. I would definitely return!

Lovely off the beat and track little place. Perfect for relaxing and enjoying the beauty of New Zealand. Barbara has an infectious and welcomig personality. Great hostess!

First of all Barb is an amazing host and an interesting and entertaining person to be around with. Her place has absolutely beautiful views over the sounds with access to the beach. You will be surrounded by stunning nature. There are canoes that you may use for a trip around the sounds. The place is also good for trips to vineyards, Picton, Havelock or Nelson. We stayed there with our baby and could use a cot and a baby chair. Barb is also very kids friendly. We highly recommend this place for every traveler!

Lovely location right on the Sound! It was a very convenient first stay after arriving on the South Island by ferry. The garden house where we slept was basic but clean, and we had our own bathroom in the main house. We were also welcome to use the kitchen and even the hot tub in the garden! Very friendly welcome, not least by the two adorable dogs.

A beautiful location, fantastic host, and close proximity to the Queen Charlotte track. Barb knows the area really well and can provide excellent guidance on places to walk. Also, she's a fantastic chef and put together an incredible meal from scratch, with ingredients picked from her organic garden and fished near by. Amazing food, and fun to chat and connect.

Awesome place and wonderful Barbara. We were very tired after day of travelling and planned to just go to say hello to Barbara, but ended up having wonderful evening with Barbara and two other accomodator. Wonderful experience.

Barbara's house is right on the sound. Beautiful location and not far from Havelock.

This place has an amazing waterfront view. Barb is great host and a very vibrant, generous person. Assuming you have no issues with dogs i would highly recommend staying here!

We loved our short stay at Lesley's. The welcome was really warm. The bed was perfect. The breakfast was the best we had during our travels. We wish we had more time so we could stay here longer. For us it was a good place to stay before we were going to the ferry.

Very pleasant and caring Leslie, the house is full of everything you need for a short and a long stop, including the nature and its inhabitants under the sky of the Milky Way. Leslie gave detailed instructions on how to find ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN) maps do not lie), and met at the turn with a flashlight, we had a late arrival. The town is famous for its mussels and I advise osnaovitsya it at night for dinner. Before g.Pikton about 45min. by car. Very nice and caring Leslie, the house is full of everything necessary for a short or long stop, including the nature and its inhabitants under the Milky Way sky. Leslie gave detailed instructions how to find her ((SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)Maps is not lying) and met us at the turn near home with a flashlight, we had a late check-in. The town is famous for its mussels and I advise you to stay it night or visit it for dinner. Prior to the city Picton about 45min by car.

Lesley is a very warm and nice lady. We had very interesting and fascinating talks and her place is stunning. Completely quiet but filled with love and care. Dog Munchkin and cats Roxie, Sophie and Bella are all sweethearts and I loved to interact with them. Roxie even slept on my belly while I was falling asleep. I can't say enough good things about this inspiring "gem in the making" and hope it will still be there, when I come back next year. <3

Certainly in the making but never the less a very comfortable stay. Lesley is a fantastic host and a god chef. Munchkin the chiwawa was constant source of entertainment.

Lesley is a kind and generous host. We felt very welcome and we were invited to taste some of the delicious local mussels! If you like dogs there is the cutest little thing called munchkin living there also and she loves company! It was great staying in Lesley's and I would gladly recommend her :)

Lesley is a great host and makes you feel at ease. Her place is a home, warm and welcoming, with a friendly dog and cats. The room/bed was comfortable, we had a good nights sleep and appreciated the slippers. Lesley cooked us a great breakfast which set us up for the day. We would recommend Lesley's place as it is great value for the money.

Had a lovely, unfortunately short, stay with Lesley. Felt very welcomed by her and her fashionable pup, Munchkin. Thank you again!

Lesley is a very affectionate and accessible woman with a big heart. And animals, in addition to cats and dogs and birds and butterflies live with her. You have to love animals to sleep here

A welcome beyond all our expectations with copious breakfasts in the unique environment of a 19th century house with its original finishes and details carefully preserved! Utterly delightful stay and no desire to leave!

Amazing old victorian villa a couple of mins walk to town and marina. Very welcoming hosts comfy bed and good breakfast. Would recommend!

A large old house in the center of town. Close to everything. Took the Pelorous Mailboat so I didn't see my host but she layed out a thoughtful breakfast and pot of coffee. Thanks jane

A beautiful historic home with a view, grounds and updated features

A fascinating historic house, spacious, charming, and very comfortable. Really top-notch with v. thoughtful hosts.

Outstanding stay! Out hosts were welcoming and gracious in sharing their magnificent historic home (which was rumoured to have had Lord Rutherford as a guest). We had a large room, which featured a high stud and fabulous Victorian fret work on the ceiling, which appeared to dance in the light of our own open fire. We slept soundly in an enormous and comfortable bed and awoke to fresh coffee and an fantastic shower. If havelock is your destination, then this is THE place to stay.

Jane helped us out by accommodating us at the last minute, they have a beautiful homestead on the water and the stay was very relaxing. Would recommend

Ground floor apartment in house with 2 rooms. Nice view of the bay of Havelock, nice to have a look canoe!

The room is located in the separated lower area of the owners house, so you might not necessarily get in contact with them. It is actually not really airbnb- on the road it is signed as a holiday home. The room is sharing the common areas with another double room though, so you get to meet fellow travelers. Our room had one double bed and two singles, which makes it good value for money, in case you would share as a party of four. One bed, though, is really soft- so not for everybody. The house is located in a strategic location between Abel Tasman and Picton ferry, and is fine for a single nights stay. A small downside was a slight odor that we sensed in our room, maybe the carpet, and it could have been a bit cleaner around the place.

We only stayed here one night and it was raining so we didn't get a good feel for the area.

Very nice place. We were very welcome. Spacious kitchen and living room with stove. Very peaceful atmosphere!

The accomadation here is self entry so no greeting,and the listing is reasonably accurate with good facilities an awesome outlook and in a quiet semi rural setting 12 mins drive from Havelock. Martin & Shirley.

We enjoyed our stay here. The room was clean and the beds comfy. Bathroom was clean and an initial problem with the shower was sorted out very quickly. Nice big shared kitchen and lounge area. Kaye was very nice and gave us good advice about places to eat locally and about use of the kayaks. I would recommend staying here!

We had a great stay with Kaye! They were extremely accommodating and made us feel very welcome. Their house was in a great location to explore local wineries. Overall we had a great experience and would recommend staying here.

The host canceled this reservation 2 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

The cottage is spacious, secluded and well-equipped, and lies in a fantastic part of the country, with wonderful drives and walks nearby. Our friendly hosts provided a welcome bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc in the fridge, and the house also has a selection of books, games and DVDs. The sound of the insect life is absorbing - punctuated occasionally with vocal contributions from the sheep and a pig in the adjacent plot. Wonderful spot!

We loved Ada's cottage! Such a beautiful house and so quirky. We are gutted we couldn't stay longer as it's an awesome area to explore too. Definitely highly recommended!

What a wonderful, peaceful , enjoyable , beautiful spot. Ada's cottage is well equipped with everything you need but don't forget to stop off for groceries before you arrive. Very comfy and cozy, you won't want to leave to do anything else but relax and enjoy the gardens, pastures, and view. Was easy for us to find with Liz's great directions. We had little interaction with Liz but only because we were so busy doing things....wish we had had more time to have learned about her family and Ada. Give yourself plenty of time here to enjoy . It is a home away from home.

Our family of four had a great stay. The cottage was very comfortable and fully equipped with everything we needed, well suited to a family holiday . We loved the peace and quiet, and the location was perfect for taking time to relax as well as exploring the area.

What a bright, cheerful and spacious cottage in a serene (URL HIDDEN) was perfect! We had everything we needed for our stay. There were so many little details that made it feel like home. Thanks for sharing your little piece of paradise, Liz and Tom.

We absolutely loved our stay at Ada's Cottage. Fantastic location, amenities and beautiful, spacious cottage. The late night treats was a lovely touch. Thanks for a wonderful stay, we wish we'd stayed longer.

Ada's cottage was the perfect, peaceful stay. With a great view, well-appointed house, privacy and a friendly hog next door - this was the perfect escape in the sounds!

A lovely cottage. Cosy comfortable and very private. We enjoyed our stay.

Great accomodation, really friendly hosts and plenty of space for us all.

The world needs more places like this. This place is all about you feeling comfortable. Ali & Geoff rank highly on the scale of hospitality. We found little goodies in the fridge up on arrival and were invited to join for a tea and taste Ali's homemade cake. Consider staying here more then one night if you would like get the rural feel.

We had a wonderfull time. Geoff took us out fishing in the Pelorus Sound. We woke up the fishes at 5:00 o'clock in the morning! We caught enough fish for a delicious starter at dinner time. Lex applied for a fast farmer course, so Geoff took me as helper to move the cattle from one paddock to another at 6 o'clock in the morning. Although I fell into a hidden river and covered my legs with mud till my knees, I passed my exame and received my NZ-farmers certificate! We had great fun! The last night we had a great dinner served by Ale & Geoff. Wonderfull! Ali and Geoff are the synonim of hospitality! Thank you very much for the great time we had with you during our 4 nights stay at your beautifull home.

If we would have had more time or forethought, we would be staying here longer. What a great place , lovely couple and wonderful view. Great place to relax unwind or if you want go for an adventure along the Pelorus sound. Geoff and Ali are exceptional host. We hope to be back

Excellent place to stay with fantastic hosts! Well recommended

Geoff & Ali were absolutely wonderful hosts. Gorgeous rural property with beautiful views, only a 10 min drive out of Havelock (1-2 km on a pretty smooth gravel road). Our room was great with a comfortable bed and very clean bathroom. They have two friendly kitties which were lovely. We definitely enjoyed our stay with Geoff & Ali, and would highly recommend their place.

Geoff & Ali are lovely airbnb hosts. We felt like we were in a 5 star hotel, with beautiful view from our room & the spa pool area, to a putting green perfect lawn & garden in an immaculate new home. It was such a pleasure to spend our 3rd wedding anniversary in such luxury. Quite a different vibe to our Airbnb the Minty Caravan in Lower Moutere (Nelson area). Highly recommended.

We stayed one night with Geoff and Ali during a cycle tour of NZ's South Island. We booked on the day without issue, and arrived to find a platter made up for us, a spa to slip into to watch sunset and lovely room with a view and a very comfortable bed! Everything about our stay was warm - Ali and Geoff are a lovely couple and great hosts, they went above and beyond to make our night enjoyable. We had a big breakfast, and Ali even rode with us for a stretch on our bikes the next morning. I'd highly recommend the place if you're in this beautiful region of NZ.

Gorgeous house with the best views. Geoff and Ali couldn't be more welcoming. Definitely enjoyed the hot tub. Lovely cats too :) Everything was perfect!

Conny and Mike were the most welcoming and genuine hosts - Conny even prepared a freshly baked cake and tea for my late night arrival and prepared a delicious, fresh breakfast which I enjoyed from their deck with stunning views over the water and hills. The property listing was spot on, but even better in the flesh - amazing views, tranquil surrounds and an abundance of fresh fruit from their gardens, just minutes from the quaint town of Havelock. I would highly recommend to fellow travellers and hope to visit again!

We only stayed one night but directly felt the nice atmosphere of this place. An amazing view, great hosts and delicious breakfast!

Conny and Mike were lovely, they showed us around their fantastic garden when we arrived and we had a drink on the sun deck with them. They gave us the upstairs rooms as an upgrade so that my brother was with us on the first floor. It was all the little touches, such as a chocolate on the pillow, fruit from the garden and our own personal message written on our breakfast drink mugs. Conny's breakfast were great, especially the Bircher muesli. Would we visit again, yes, yes, yes

Highly recommend Conny if you want to explore Marlborough Sound, Havelock, or the wineries in Marlborough. Great breakfast and amazing views.

Good spot, nice guy, helped us with local information on the area

This is a sensational location overlooking the Malborough sounds. There was always something to see as boats passed up and down the harbour. We loved the house and Lindsay was a generous host. Giving time to chat but plenty of time to ourselves as well. The house and garden were immaculate. We loved the Bird life with Tui's and bell birds frequenting the trees and feeders. We loved Kayaking on the sound. We loved the bush track. There is a reserve and a Hill (summit is nearly 500 m so it is a bit of a climb) but there were great views and it was good to see the regenerating forest. This is a reasonably remote spot (about 30 minutes from Havelock) but worth it.

Comfortable space and you couldn't ask for a more stunning location.

It's a perfect place to stop if you're moving between Abel Tasman and ferry. Apartment is self contained and provides lots of privacy. Room itself is recently refurbished with new and comfy bed. Hosts are super helpful and Havelock is close, so you could go and enjoy some mussels in a green shell mussel capital of the world. If travelling again, then will definitely book again!

We were the first to stay at Karen's and Ewans house and it was perfect. Lovely and clean lots of utensils to use in the room. Great views. Karen and Ewan were very warm and welcoming. Would defenitly recommend and we would happily stay again.

I believe the best way to describe Liz and Tony's place is by saying it's "Heaven"! I am not exaggerating one bit. We only stayed here for a weekend, but will definitely consider it for next time when in town. The place is ideally located on the sound while being centrally located in Havelock. It is very artistically decorated with a bright and heavenly theme. Liz's responses back were extremely prompt and they were willing to accommodate a late check in due to flight delay and a late check out. Liz and Tony - We can't thank you enough for opening your home to us. Consider yourselves lucky for living where you do :) Cheers, Blair

Staying at Liz and Tony's was fantastic. It is a beautiful vista out into the the channel and a beautiful and clean space within close walking distance to some great restaurants. :)

Such a great house and hosted by such kind people. The house has the best of both worlds: amazing views being right on the lake shore (including a kayak if needed) and proximity to town at just a few minutes walk. The house itself is brilliantly kept and we felt completely at home. Really great place to stay for any family.
