About this property

Secure Private Holiday Haven

This sun drenched beautiful private home is in a calibra all of it's own. Suitable for families, couples and pets as it has a large fully enclosed private backyard. This home is close to everything you need to see and do in the gorgeous Tahunanui Beach area. Also the back beach for exercising the dog or the kids.
The calm swimming beach is walking distance. The choice of cafes and restaurants close by. 10 km to the CBD. Plenty to do for both young to old. Nelson is at your door step.
The children will love our own Natureland zoo, mini golf, and the bumper boats. Grab a fishing rod and fish off the beach. The world known Wow museum is a short 2 minute drive as is the airport. This property is located central to everything in the area.

NOTE: Under Kiwi bach tradition you are expected to: Clean the house and do the dishes before you leave; Bring your own linen (towels/sheets/tea towels);

This is a lovely property to stay at. Many extra's including a spa pool. It was fabulous to take Tess, our labrador dog too. Mountain biking Coppermine, Silvan forest and Kaiteriteri mountain bike park was a treat. Loved our stay, thank you.

Awesome house

We loved this place. It is quite large and has everything you need. The large back yard with BBQ and hot tub was my happy place. The kitchen is well equipped and the bedrooms are a good size. Paul was very accommodating and provided anything we needed. I would not think twice about staying here again. The price was incredible for what you get.

Family stay

Really good place for small kids as all on one level, carpeted floors and big flat grass garden Beds a bit soft for me. Walking distance to beach. Noisy with aircraft-but to be expected next to an airport! We enjoyed our stay

Bring Your linen

This is the last of three Vrbo properties on my 3-week trip in New Zealand. The house is very nice but is the second most expensive places that we had stayed. It has everything (including a hot tub!) except neither linen nor shampoo/soap are provided. It's an extra 50 for the linen. My understanding is that you can buy your own for less if you are just visiting the country and cannot bring your own.

Couldn’t Be More Pleased!

Communications were great and I received the home access info in advance, which was great so we were prepared for arrival. This place is extremely clean with immediate homey feeling which made us comfortable right away. About 15 minute walk to beach and restaurants and reasonable drive to Abel Tasman so loved the location. The hot tub was a bonus after a busy day sightseeing. Remember to bring bed sheets as none are provided as is standard per local vaca rental standards and is outlined in the listing (we are from US so didn’t travel with any but Paul was able to provide for small cost). From host to property … this was a winner all around.
