Cottage holiday rentals in Marlborough

Anne's Fairytale Cottage feels very homey, it is well decorated with personable items, it's cozy, has a well equipped kitchen, with laundry, and had everything we needed to enjoy a home cooked meal. Anne was super helpful on arrival, and responded really quick in case of the occasional question. Most of all, Anne was really friendly, it was nice to meet her.

River Road Retreat was a delight to stay at, and Peter and Rebecca lovely hosts. The cottage is beautiful, clean and in a gorgeous setting surrounded by fields, and with stunning views to the hills in the distance. We loved the welcome bottle of wine and yummy nibbles, as well as the delicious breakfast served every morning. The air is fresh and clean, the water absolutely pure, and after three days we’ve returned home refreshed and reenergised. Wonderful!! Big thanks from us!!!

Had a lovely stay at the cottage! Beautiful location and the Airbnb had everything we needed to cook dinner and make ourselves at home - thanks :)

Cute getaway in Kaikoura, beautifully decorated and peaceful.

Great instructions to find the cottage, would have been easy to get lost without them. Awesome that the hottub was ready for me to use upon arrive. great place to stay.

We had a lovely two nights at The Winemakers Cottage. The location was just perfect; nestled into the vines and very close to many fantastic local Marlborough wineries which we loved exploring. The cottage had plenty of space and everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxed stay.

Was a lovely respite from the road. What a gorgeous spot

Only there for one night. Would have liked to stay longer. It’s not on the beach, but it’s a lovely spot and great cabins. Grateful for a dog friendly place and it’s a very relaxed environment. Would stay again.

Great stay in a beautiful spot! Very relaxing, quiet and a feeling of home away from home. Great communication from host. Really enjoyed the stay and loved being able to have our dog with us. Thank you very much!

Situated at the top of the boat ramp, we loved this setting with beautiful vistas as far as the eye can see. A comfortable and well equipped home with a friendly host

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!

We spent three pleasant days in Alexandra's place on our road trip through Zealand. A super base to explore the Tasman National Park, where you have a quiet private place to spend the evening after all your adventures. The host is a lovely intelligent lady who will give advice if you want it. Thanks, Alexandra, greetings from Prague :-)

This is a very special place, I wish I could have stayed longer. The house is incredibly cosy and atmospheric, and we felt so spoilt with the great breakfast. This is a true getaway whilst everything you'd like to do and see in the region is close by. Highly recommended!

This modernised bach was bright, light and comfortable with everything we needed. The kitchen was well appointed with plenty of space for cooking. Bathroom was lovely and clean with with a great shower. Bed was comfortable with an excellent view of the bay. It was very quiet and private, lovely listening to the faint sound of the waves at night. We would definitely stay here again.

What a great location & view! The beach cottage was cozy& Gail is very friendly & responsive😀 walkable to a really neat trail too.

A True touch of paradise. Peaceful Location, wonderful Host, comfortable beds and very well equipped and set up cabin

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bay Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed. Nestled in a beautiful orchard, it is idyllic rural NZ. It was an excellent base from which to visit the restaurants in Takaka (we tried and found O’Sha and Dangerous Kitchen to be very tasty). It was 30 minutes from Wainui Inlet, from which we were able to explore Totranui, swim at Anapai Bay, scramble to Separation Point (watch the seals) and visit the quaint Whariwharangi Hut. Thank you Christine and Dave for a great location for a weekend tramp.

We absolutely loved our stay. All the essentials + more- fresh eggs from their chickens, jam, chocolate and a bottle of wine. Loved meeting the chickens, sheep and Shirley the guinea fowl! Angela recommended Bike2Wine for bike rentals and their service was stellar. We will be back!

Wonderful stay at a wonderful place! The best hosts you could ask for. The place is so well taken care of, spotless clean and you have everything you could ask for. As a family, we especially appreciated the many many toys, beach toys, high chair and books provided on top of all the essentials needed for a great stay. We are super thankful for all the time the hosts spent on talking to us and letting our children help with the animals, investing so much time letting them help out! The location is great for hikes in Abel Tasman and we woke up to stunning views every day. It has been the best Airbnb experience for us in NZ!

such a lovely place to stay, we loved the friendly sheep, cicadas, bellbirds and farm animals. comfy beds, beautiful bathroom, great deck and furniture. A few more small bowls perhaps for nibbly bits, and the small fridge was a bit of a challenge for a 5 day stay.

Once in a while, you experience something quite special in your life. This is one of those moments- Justin and Alexia are so warm and knowledgable, and they are so willing to share their farm experiences with you. This is more than a stay- this is learning, experiencing and just immersing in the wonderful self-sustaining farm that Justin and Alexia is building. They are also very sincere, kind and warm. It is well worth the drive from Blenheim. We are blessed to have met them and enjoy this special place.

A perfect little piece of Aotearoa - Endless beach and deep blue ocean on one side, mountain views and snow covered peaks on the other. Cosy and charming off grid home with everything you need to unwind from busy everyday life and/or to relax after a long day of exploring beautiful Kaikōura. No problem with power supply (for those being worried) - we arrived on a cold rainy day, Jeremy had the fire started for us, the home was warm at arrival and kept warmth in even overnight. We cooked, had lights on (bring a book, or two), charged devices and the lowest the battery went was 96% - Cilla and Jeremy also provide a great “how to life off grid” guide that’s super helpful. There is no WIFI but good phone reception if required - maybe a sign to put the devices down for a few days, enjoy the beautiful surrounding you’re in, spend time with family or read that book you’ve bought months ago and never had time to. Bonus: Fresh peaches form the garden

What an amazing place to stay!!!! The sliding glass doors, which open fully to being in all the best that Ligar Bay holds, were a terrific part of the feel of the hike. Then, there is the enormous deck with chairs to relax in. The kitchen was well stocked, and overall just a wonderful place to stay. Easy walk down to the beach!
