Holiday houses in Maitai

We had the most spectacular stay! The hosts love their home and it shows. So many great amenities and touches that made us feel right at home. We are from the US - this is our first trip to NZ and this has been the highlight of our trip so far! We have Air B&B’s back at home and I came away with ideas for our own places to make our guests feel more welcome - that’s the mark of a great stay! We loved walking into town, watching the kids jump from the bridge at high tide, walking the beach and of course, our visits to Abel Tasman were outstanding. The amazing stretch of weather we enjoyed - sunny days, mid-70’s, didn’t hurt. We highly recommend!!

Great space, we booked this home for our family Christmas Day 2024, and had plenty of space for the family, the large deck area was perfect and plenty of outdoor seating space for everyone.

We had an absolutely glorious stay at Brent and Annette’s apartment. These two are the epitome of what exceptional Airbnb hosts look like and their home is utterly stunning. The views especially are supreme. The most comfortable king size bed I’ve ever slept on. Very well stocked and supplied. Do yourself a favour and book this place! We will without doubt be back. 10/10

Wow this really is a perfect pocket of paradise. Absolutely idyllic location with stunning views and nothing but the sound of the wildlife. Loved the retro furnishings and views from every window. Elspeth is the perfect host making us feel welcome from the minute we arrived and helped us plan our itinerary for our short stay. Mapua is a pretty little harbourside village only a 10 minute drive away and well worth a visit. We would definitely come back and this time for longer. Thank you Elspeth!

We really enjoyed our stay at this amazing place, the apartment is super colourful and cozy and we felt really at home. The beach is only a 10min walk away and the Abel Tasman Nationalpark is an 1h drive and a must see in this area. Amanda had some great restaurant recommendations as well as other tipps for what to do and were to get food, coffee, etc. We were welcomed with a freshly baked bread that was super delicious and also the communication and check-in was superfast and easy. We weould absolutly recommend to stay at this place, you can see that a lot of love went into it and that she wants to make sure you have a great time in Nelson.

Great clean place! Beautiful quiet area. Hosts were very responsive.

Great location for beach walks and beautiful views over the bay. We had a very relaxing and comfortable stay. Excellent communication from host - thank you Viv!

Lovely spot with a very responsive host. Some suggestions for extras in the kitchen - chopping knife, dinner plates, mixing/salad bowl

I had the privilege of staying four nights at Linda & Laurie’s wonderful place. I wasn’t ready to leave! The place is exactly as described and perfect for a holiday get away. You can tell many wonderful memories have been created in this special bach. The view is incredible and serves as a get hide away to observes the area as well as venture out each day to explore the surroundings. Linda & Laurie were the warmest of hosts and gave the best directions and recommendations. I highly recommend them and their lovely place. I will definitely be back (not soon enough!).
