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.

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!

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.

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.

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 friendly and good host She provided our delicious breakfast Let's have a day nice start

A friendly host and she cooked us a delicious breakfast! Lovely place to stay, would recommend.

We stayed at Kaye for three days and loved it: the huge, comfortable bed, the spacey livingroom, the well equiped kitchen and the view. All this was topped off with the warm welcoming of Kaye and the relaxing atmosphere of the whole place. Thank you, Kaye, Iris & Harald

We arrived late and left early, so we don't have much feedback about the experience. the bed was very comfortable. We felt constrained by the water limitations imposed(try not to use much), but it was due to the general area restrictions due to weather, so we understood. We could hear conversations of others in the common area very clearly while in our room, which was not ideal. For the value, I found it to be a good accommodation.

We had a really nice stay. The place was clean and nice.

The kayaks were great. Communication was helpful and friendly. The space was comfortable.

Good backpacker place, good bed, convenient distance from Picton ferry.

We had a great time staying at Kaye's place. Quiet place, good size room and bed, nice shower. Kaye was very helpful, her instructions on how to get there were very clear and we didn't have any problems while staying. The place is just 10 min drive from Havelock and 10 min drive from Linkwater and it makes it very good for day trips. Also, you can get kayaks for free and enjoy kayaking in the morning or/and at the evening! The internet is fast and free. For those who loves Marlborough Sound I would definitely recommend this place for your stay.

Our short stay at Kaye's place was perfect: Clean house, great bathroom, comfortable bed... We had everything we need, and even more!

This is a wonderful clean modern and comfy space, great room and kitchen, paddled the kayak, and Kaye is very welcoming too.

A must do, strongly recommend staying at least 4 nights you won't want to leave..

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!

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

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!

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.

Lisa's villa is beautiful, so much more luxurious than the photos show. We only spent a couple of nights there but it was a fantastic place to relax and explore the Marlborough wine region. Washing up with the view from the sink is definitely not a chore.

The house is great and comfortable. Nice living room and most of the time we spend on the veranda as the weather was nice. The views from the house are amazing. Lisa is a great host.

I am so grateful that my family and I got to spend three nights in this home. The pictures of the place are great, but in reality, the home is even better. Everything in this historic home has been upgraded to modern tastes, is very comfortable, and with sophisticated and whimsical decoration. The views from the kitchen/dining room and back patio out to the water and mountains are beautiful and relaxing. We had everything we needed to cook delicious meals (including locally harvested mussels) and relax by the fireplace. The kids and I thoroughly enjoyed kayaking in the very calm and safe waters. It was a very memorable part of our vacation in the South Island and I hope to come back again.

Very nice apartment with great view on the lake

This is a beautiful historical house, couldn't ask for a nicer host. Lovely finishes to this house. Anyone who stays well be very happy here

The house was absolutely wonderful. We had rainy weather, but was never cold as there are 2 fireplaces in the house to keep you warm. The views over the water is amazing!

A lovely place to stop for the night when making your way through the Marlborough Sounds. Thanks for having us!

Staying with Lee was awesome!! Her home in great and she is a lovely woman! The location is key!! We had a great time touring the nearby vineyards and it was great to come back to such a cosy and clean home afterwards. We ate dinner in the beautiful garden and even got a chance to feed her adorable sheep and alpacas! She's super nice and has the room set up perfectly with everything spotless, fresh cut flowets, a mini fridge, coffee and tea making supplies, and yummy homemade treats!! The room opens up directly to the garden which is really nice! We loved our stay here and really enjoyed talking to Lee :)

Convenient location for wineries, but noisy due to road becoming main highway to Christchurch. Trucks were quite noisy late and early morning. Bedroom was nice, clean and tidy. No breakfast included and no use of the kitchen but there are plenty of cafes around the area.

We stayed at Geoff and Lee's place for two weeks and had a wonderful time. We enjoyed the house as much as the company of its hosts ! Lovely garden and friendly pets. Totally recommended ! Hope we will come back again :)

Lee and Jeff were great hosts, they really made us feel at home. The gardens and paddocks are lovely, we fed the alpacas and also enjoyed the company of Little Chief (very sweet and friendly dog). We had access to the kitchen and all the equipment/facilities we needed. The house is right in the centre of the wine region - an easy walk/cycle to nearby cellar doors. We had a very relaxing stay, and would definitely recommend.

Fabulous stay with Lee. Gorgeous home with everything you could ask for in an Airbnb. Excellent base to explore the Marlborough vineyards. We even rented bikes off Lee and could explore the area for ourselves. Highly recommended...especially the amazing cookies!! :)

Clean tidy convenient. Friendly host and cute animals. Reccomended

Highly reccomending!! The Hosts are super lovely people, can't describe enough to let everyone know that this place is the best to stay!! They were very helpful and even the language barrier wasn't an issue (my brother didn't speak any English) Lee's place is very close to all the wineries; they even do offer bikes and maps and all the tips and advice's for exploring the wineries and surroundings. The room is very private with a sliding door to your own exit to garden. You share the kitchen to cook a light meal and chat to hosts if they're there. You can use the fridge that is very convenient if you're travelling, you can freeze the iceblocks for chillibin if needed. Don't think twice if you're considering this place to stay, just book it!

Fantastic stay and location would totally recommend

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 rooms are excellently clean and offer a lot of room for a family. The kitchen and the bathroom seem to be brand new and so it was really bad luck we had to leave early the next day. Havelock and the Marlborough Sound is offering so many things to do. So could have spent a week at least. It was easy to find and Kaye was really nice to us. She even sent us the little price pig from our daughter we left behind! Kaye, thank you for having us as your guests. Next time we stay foe longer

Wonderful and comfortable stay! Robyn was such a kind host, we had great conversations about our travels and her homemade yogurt is delicious!! The house has a wonderful view of the vineyards, it's within 5 min drive to multiple wineries, and the room and bathroom were very comfortable and clean. Would definitely recommend Robyn's house!

We had a great stay with Robyn. She was incredibly welcoming and the house is in a fantastic location for the vineyards. Would definitely recommend!

Robyn upfront told us that one requirement is to make ourselves at home and we did! Our stay was relaxing & comfortable in the middle of wine country. The home is located at the end of a residential street right next to grapevines. Fresh apricots from the tree in the yard, nice view and within walking distance to downtown. Robyn was a great host.

Amenities and photos were a bit disingenuous. There was an unvetted, non air bnb border staying in another room. No lock on bedroom door was provided. Single travelers may feel vulnerable here. Robyn's regional tips and knowledge of the area is top notch. She even rents bikes.

Robyn's place is the perfect location after a day of wine tasting. The room looks out over the vineyard as well and is clean and comfortable. Robyn was very nice and hospitable, she's also a wonderful photographer so make sure to check out her photo calendar! Would stay again.

Friendly and generous hosts. We were offered breakfast but did not have time. Great location and lovely house, garden and friendly pussy cat!

Robyn is a very friendly and helpful host. We enjoyed the quiet location and her convenient bike hire to visit the amazing wineries on her doorstep!

We had a wonderful stay at Robyn's house! The location is perfect for vineyard hopping, which we did a lot of. The patio is beautiful to hang out on in the mornings for breakfast.
