Family-friendly home rentals with a hot tub

Tiro Tai - Coastal Views (with a hot tub)
A lovely and well thought out space. We felt very at home. The location was handy to get in and out of Nelson, and the view was stunning!

Tasman Vista with Stunning Views and Spa pool
We absolutely loved our stay at this amazing home. The views are spectacular and the location was convenient to Nelson Tasman area. Kitchen was well stocked, hot tub was nice after long days mountain biking. Would love to return soon!

HIDDEN SANCTUARY
Paul's place was perfectly adequate for a couple of nights, I chose it because of the spa pool which was just what we needed for a couple of days whilst on a camping trip. Thanks

Room for Two
A really nice apartment, tastefully furnished and very comfortable. Perhaps a little bit of slightly intrusive noise in the daytime but quiet overnight. Lovely spa and pool area too. Only potential downside is that it’s sort of out on the edge of town. But five stars from me.

Luxurious 1 brm Seaview guest suite-Pool & spa use
Clean and well-appointed guest suite. The views from the patio were terrific and great for relaxing in the evening. Lenny and Charise were accommodating hosts and appreciated the high chair and use of laundry facilities since traveling with an infant.

Copper Gate ecohouse. 2ha views Mapua rural home
The perfect spot to relax and recharge. Spacious, comfortable and peaceful we enjoyed every moment of our stay. Roger was fantastic, communication was excellent and he was very helpful with suggestions of places to visit and things to do. The house is well stocked and had everything we needed. Our kids loved the friendly sheep and chickens and us adults enjoyed the beautiful outlook and peaceful surroundings with a quiet drink on the deck at sunset! Highly recommend Roger’s beautiful home and cannot wait to visit again.

Ribbonwood Retreat, Upper Moutere, Tasman/Nelson
We loved our stay of 3 nights here, we were wanting somewhere a little out of town with peace and quiet and that’s exactly what we got. However only took us 12 mins drive to get into Motueka. Beautiful setting with lots of trees around but still nice and sunny. The house was immaculate inside and hosts had thought of and provided everything you could need. Especially loved that they allowed us to take our 2 dogs with us. Thanks so much! Can not fault a single thing, and would love to return next time we are back in Tasman area.

Mariri Heights Tasman Coastal Retreat
We loved our 1 week stay for our summer holiday in Moteuka. We loved staying somewhere rural with beautiful views, but a quick 5 min drive to town. Yvette and Ross are such friendly hosts. Thank you for sharing your property with us. We all loved the pond area, warm enough to swim, paddleboard, or sit in our rings and relax in! The house was very clean and well presented. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Appreciated all the included things we could use in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry, makes a big difference not having to buy all of these extras. Wonderful big deck. The bedrooms did get hot at night for sleeping, fans were provided though and there is aircon in the living area. Smaller studio unit underneath the main house can be rented too if traveling with more people. Would highly recommend and would love to return one day. Thank you

On the Beach Marahau
Stayed with my adult kids and grand baby. We had an absolutely amazing stay at David’s accommodation! The home was set out well to suit all of our needs and had recently been updated. Access to the kayaks was an excellent way to enjoy the ocean and have fun together. Such a beautiful location central to heaps of local sites of interest, not to mention the gateway to Abel Tasman National Park. Good comms from host - very easy to book and access. Would highly recommend and would definitely return, if in the area! Thanks again David.

Priest Retreat:Private&tranquil groundfloor studio
We had a very comfortable stay. The studio was nice and warm. The location for us was ideal. Thanks very much Nick and Sarah. Would definitely stay again.

Abel Tasman Marahau
Great place for our family group, the large family bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs suited our families requirements perfectly. Great secure outdoor space for kids.

Appleby House
Stunning location and property, great place to spend the end of 2022 with friends, hope to be back again some day

Orchard View Farm Cottage
Kate gave very clear instructions so we were able to arrive safely and were able to find the place easily as we had a long drive and arrived quite late. The hosts were very friendly and welcoming despite our late arrival the night before. Additional plus were the awesome welcome given to us by their pet dogs, Chloe and Amber!
Family-friendly home rentals with a pool

Guest Suite in Nelson Historic House.
Beautiful house in great central location. Everything is nearby and in walking distance. Comfortable guestroom with own bath. And most important: a super lovely hosting familiy. We enjoyed our stay so so much. Thanks for everything!

Birdsongs for Breakfast, Idyllic Modern Guesthouse
Exactly what was described, plenty of birdsong and a front row seat to watch fantail and other natives.

Panoramic views with swimming pool
Great stay at Gina and Martins place. Super responsive hosts and brought us tasty filter coffee for the mornings. Absolutely stunning views and super clean property. Highly recommend staying here. Peaceful and tranquil

Oka Cottage, Peace and Tranquility
Lovely place to stay with a friendly host. Not too far from Nelson and surrounding attractions but feels amazingly private and peaceful - and we loved being able to say hello to the cows! Pool was a great facility for hot summer afternoons and the cottage had everything we needed and nice spacious rooms.

Compass Cottage - Monaco Resort
Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

The Mudcastle 1-16 Guests (2 nights) Entire Castle
One of the best airbnb we've stayed at. We're a big group from Christchurch and the Castle was able to accomodate our needs. Big kitchen, plenty of amazing rooms & toilets, a big living room and the whole place is just so amazing and peaceful. Glenys & Kevin was very kind to accomodate me & my team. Good communication and everything was just smooth. Hoping that we can still book this for our next competition in Nelson for 2024. Highly recommended and would love to stay here again :)
