Tasman Bay / Te Tai-o-Aorere: 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! :)

Would highly recommend staying with Rae and Paul. I felt very comfortable in their nice and clean house! Dinner was tasty as well :)

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!

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.

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!

We had a great 2 night stay with Valerie and Wayne. They welcomed us into their home and were very friendly and easy to talk to. The room was large, clean and comfortable with the bonus of a large lounge room which we didn’t use because we enjoyed sitting upstairs and chatting with Valerie and Wayne. They provided breakfast with cereals and homemade bread and jams and tea and coffee. We also tried fruit from the garden. We highly recommend staying here.

Ideal location for exploring the area. Barbara and Jerry made me very welcome. The rooms were very comfortable and well equipped. Excellent breakfast. Highly recommended

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 stayed for our daughter's wedding, as a base for the bride getting ready. It was such a good spot. Lots of room for hair and make up. Everyone having their own bathrooms was awesome.

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.
