“Probably the best apartment in NZ” The title is meant honestly: spectaculous view over the sea, nice balcony, very nice hosts, tasty cookies, a bottle beer in the fridge, more entertainment equipment than we have at home... nothing missing for a wonderful holiday. Thanks again.

“Exceeded all expectations!” Can't rate this place highly enough- very tastefully decorated and well outfitted with everything to make for a very comfortable stay. Setting is peaceful and outlook over the vines just beautiful. All the little extras Wendy provides- daily newspaper, gourmet provisions for breakfast, home grown produce just adds to the wonderful experience of staying here. We will be back!

“Fantastic relaxing stay” Our family of 4 (2 young kids) had a fantastic stay at Karaka Cottage. It was a welcome relief from a week of campervaning. Elspeth was extremely accomodating with any request without being obtrusive. The cottage is in a wonderful quiet location and the hammock and outdoor bath were absolute winners for adults and kids alike! The cottage is not far from Mapua with all of the cafes and restaurants that it has to offer. Highly recommended.

“Eco friendly, warm and helpful hosts, outstanding location and v” We, a family of two parents and two college aged kids, stayed in the cottage in mid September, 2012. We arrived after having been rained on at the glaciers. ..and had wet clothes. Gina and Martin offered to let us use their dryer . ..(there is a washer in the cottage), and ended up drying and folding our clothes! This was above and beyond. The house was designed for maximum ecologically benefit. The heater is wood fired. . .but we were perfectly warm, although stormy outside. We appreciated the Vanners leaving tons of information and brochures about everything, from hiking, to eating. Also, they looked up things for us and gave recommendations that helped tremendously. The cottage is truly private ..but we were always treated well when we went to the "neighbors" to get info or to talk. We would have loved to stay longer. Martin-the crossing was not as bad as predicted. .but thanks so much for the heads-up on the storm warnings! Would definitely stay again.

“Magical Spot” If you are looking for a spot to really relax then this is the spot! You will feel lucky to have been able to have been there. It is a place really to get away! The accommodation was beautiful and the owners clearly have thought about their guest in great detail. Can not wait to get the chance to go back.

“Wonderful, relaxing one night stay; wished it had been longer” We had booked Ferry Mans Cottage for a special getaway during a quick scoot on the South Island away from the kids. We had hoped from the what we'd seen on the website that it would be a break to remember... it was. A lovely cottage in a truly stunning location. Our baths under the stars, listening to morepork owls and kiwis with the burning brazier next to us is a memory that will stay with us for a long time. Dinner in Birds Ferry Lodge was also really very good, with accomplished hosting by andre. We wished we had been able to stay for longer and hope we can get back, perhaps with the kids next time.

“A restful and idylic retreat” I received excellent service with a beautifully appointed bach, privacy and views to die for. Being there in the winter was amazing - the early morning sunrise was spectacular and the open fire for the evenings perfect. The early morning chorus was something else - all the birds around the bach and on the estuary were amazing. I loved my stay - the absolute privacy and the idylic setting made it a visit to remember.

“Great place to stay.” Loved the place. We spent 3 nights at Karetu Downs with our 3 children. The farm cottage is fantastic, roomy, warm and has a great kitchen. Bruce and Karen were very friendly and welcoming. Perfect spot for our horses, to stay and ride. As the river was up our kids also had fun in their kayaks. Not far from home, but far enough away for a decent break.

“Fabulous cottage, great views, and wonderful hosts!” We had an initial worry about connecting with the hosts but in a short time Jessie arrived and let us in. She had been on a trip with the Department of Conservation and even gave us some blue cod they caught for our dinner. The apartment is great, nice kitchen and shower, very comfortable bed and even laundry facilities. The one slight drawback was the difficulty of connecting to the internet, which one could only do in one place and that intermittently. However we found this to be true in most of our places we stayed in NZ, probably because it is all so mountainous and underpopulated. Nonetheless a really gorgeous country, friendly people, and excellent trip over all.

“A Home away From Home!” For our vacation in NZ, we were searching for places to stay that would provide us a good home base where we could be largely self-supported, by cooking our own meals and having more privacy than a hotel. What we got at Mapua Heights was that and much more! The cottage itself was spectacular, with a gorgeous view looking over the Nelson area (amazing sunrises and sunsets!). In fact, it was such a nice, homey place to stay that we occasionally had trouble justifying going out and seeing the sights. Luckily, our wonderful hosts who lived nearby, Ken and Vivien, provided all the information and suggestions for the entire area, and helped us plan our great trip out and about. With Ken and Vivien's hospitality, we felt very much at home, as we would with a pair of good neighbors not too far away! The part that stood out the most was that our hosts allowed us to see what their lives were like as much as we wanted. Ken and Vivien were gracious enough to show us what animals they have on their property and use their kayaks in the nearby inlet. We got to help them sheer their sheep, feed their deer, tour their awesome glowworm colony, and learn about the honey harvested from their bee colonies. I highly recommend Mapua Heights Cottage for those looking to get a more intimate experience with the Nelson area than most hotels and lodges can provide. There were no downsides, and we won't do it any differently when we (hopefully) return one day. Thanks Ken and Vivien!

“Exceptional!” Oreti River House is a well maintained, comfortable home with everything you'll need for your stay. A lot of thought and effort have gone into the remodeling and landscaping of this property. The beds and pillows are very comfortable, linens are of a high quality. We enjoyed the gardens and watching the birds and the hedgehog. The owners and manager have been great to work with. Lumsden is a friendly, quiet town with plenty of good fishing, and easy access to other attractions.

“a remarkable holiday detination” I could not recommend Buchanan Lodge highly enough. The house is architecturally beautiful, very comfortably and stylishly fitted out and in the most breath taking setting you could ever hope to find yourself. A truly remarkable holiday spot. if you are skiing at Cardrona, be prepared for a decent drive each morning and evening, however when you get home and pour yourself a gin and tonic you will forget the drive. Very happy memories (and spectacular photos) for my whole family.

“Friendly, warm, accommodation and magnificent scenery” We had a fantastic weekend staying at Michael and Nery's cottage. We were made to feel welcome and Michael kept the fire well stocked for us so that we were nice and warm. We loved the fact the accommodation is pet friendly and our 4 legged companion got to join us there. Michael and Nery even took him for a walk! Couldn't have asked for more. The cottage is lovely and cosy and the jacuzzi at the foot of the garden is just what u need after a day on the slopes. Can't wait to visit again! We have already recommend the accommodation to friends.
