Marlborough District: pousadas

Andrew is a fantastic host. He is very friendly and recommended the local vineyards and restaurants that we should try. We love the airbnb. Came with washing machine which is very useful. We highly recommend Andrew's place.

Peter’s hospitality and kindness are both heartwarming and we felt welcome from the start. He has a very special home and garden/orchard and his passion for plants and the natural environment really shows. He shared several of his plums and apples with us, as well as homemade bread and fruit leather. The location is serene, yet close to several vineyards and a general store. What a special stay!

wonderful retreat in beautiful nature. Nicky is super friendly and a natural host and we enjoyed staying and relaxing here. highly recommended.

We had a wonderful stay at Shanti's place. The tent is super cozy and has everything you need to get a feeling of luxery while being outside in nature. The river that flows through her garden makes you calm down and the sun deck is perfect to just relax on. We slept like roses in the big comfortable bed and she even had bathrobes hanging which were nice and cozy after using the outdoor shower. Lots of things to do and see around the area to or to just have a coffee or drink. Definitely recommend this place! :)

Raeoni and Paul been very nice and friendly. Everythink said ,,welcome home" we been more than happy to stay two nights there, thank you very much!

Had a lovely stay with Carol and Geoff. They are very welcoming hosts and the bed is comfortable and the bedroom wonderfully quiet and dark. Such a treat to have fresh fruit from their garden too. Highly recommended!

Michael was the kindest and most helpful host we could have hoped for. We felt most welcome in his beautiful house and would recommend this place to anyone staying over in pituresque Picton!

We had a very welcoming and lovely stay. We came back after few days camping in Abel Tasman Reserve, and the beds and shower with beautiful view were amazing. Deb is very helpful and had loads of tips for what to do in the area. The breakfast is also very good. Highly recommend staying here!

Michelle’s place was just what we needed. The information made available in the brochure was helpful and the accommodation was clean and well provided for.

Lovely stay at Jennifer’s place, very clean, cosy and an amazing view! Also she kindly set out breakfast a little earlier as we had a tour booked which was so kind! The doggies are super cute too :)

The place is ok. It is like a big house with many rooms divided into airbnb rooms. So, you have a kitchen and living room available and the rooms going into the corridors. It is close enough to town (although I wouldn't walk there when it is dark) and the neighbourhood is quiet - what seems to be a newly built home state

We love Karen and John's home. Very beautiful and stunning views from our room of the ocean. Karen was such a lovely and caring host. They made us feel so welcome and were very helpful with recommendations of the area. Karen was very accomodating of us and always helpful. John cooked us the most beautiful breakfast which topped of a beautiful stay. We left with such a great feeling. They are such a lovely couple and we highly recommend that if you are wanting to stay in the area, this is the place to stay. We will be coming back to Ruby bay just to stay here again. Cannot recommend Karens Ruby bay home enough. Thank you Karen and John.

Oh man! Wish I could've stayed longer! This little gem is in pristine condition! It had everything I needed and more. The bed was sooooo comfortable, which was perfect after being on the road for a few days. I had had some of my breakfast for dinner the night before as its already available in the room. Loved the variety of condiments for toast and the fruit. There's not much to do in Motueka but it was the perfect stop over. Carmen and Max are a lovely, kind and welcoming couple!

Thanks very much for having us Jennifer

Pene's place is a hidden gem located in a quiet neighborhood with easy access to nearby shops and highway. The bedroom and living room is spacious and relaxing. The bathroom is spacious too with everything you need for the stay. Her cat Mocha is also very friendly and fluffy, definitely good for cat lovers.

We are so pleased to have recently stayed at Scarborough House. Ted and Sue are the most welcoming and hospitable hosts who insured that our stay was nothing but the best. Their guest suites are extremely comfortable with all of the comforts of home. The views from this property are stunning and we appreciated the special marine life of Kaikoura.

Highly recommended. Kay's place was very comfortable and immaculately clean. The bed was very comfortable and the bed linen and furnishings of high quality. Kay was very friendly and helpful and gave great recommendations for restaurants and activities. Kays place is within a few minutes walk of restaurants and a good supermarket. The continental breakfast was delicious and Kay's homemade marmalade the best I have tasted.

This property was absolutely perfect for our friend group getaway to Blenheim. With 4 of the 5 bedrooms having ensuites, an amazing outdoor area to sit and relax while looking at the vines. A pool table to help relax and a fire and heat pumps in each room for those cold autumn nights. The hosts were extremely friendly and helpful, we would definitely recommend staying here!

Excellent accueil de Nicola et John. Famille très sympathique. Le lit est vraiment top pour passer une bonne nuit de sommeil. Le petit déjeuner était succulent avec des produits locaux…nous avons découvert le « marmite », produit étonnant pour des françaises !!!!

Our stay with Amanda was absolutely wonderful. She was very kind, responsive, and accommodating. She even upgraded our room! The lodge had everything we needed and we felt right at home. I would definitely recommend staying here. Thanks again for everything!

Our stay was short, but we had a comfortable peaceful night, an enjoyable breakfast, and a welcome lift to our boat pickup in the Waikawa Marina. Thank you John and Nicola.
