Charming Coastal Country Cottage, Nelson Coastal Barnstay

Lovely cottage accommodation on the Ruby coast. Just the right mix of rustic and comfortable, semi-rural but not isolated, 40 min from Nelson City and close to popular Mapua wharf / cafes and bars, (10min), Motueka (20min). Kaiteriteri, the gateway to the Abel Tasman National park is only a 30min drive and we are 35 min from the airport. Ideal for families with children or for romantic getaways relaxing in front of the wood burner. Enjoy fantastic views of the Mountains and pedestrian access to the beach, less than a ten minute walk away. The Great Taste Trail bike track crosses the bottom of the drive. Your children will love feeding our two alpacas, Percy and Colin as well as Dudley our ever hungry kune kune pig.

Nelson Coastal Cottage "Barnstay"

Stunning property, with Stunning views in a stunning location, complete with on site resident Llamas & Dudley the Pig. Lovely host Jenny made us feel most welcome. We came over for a winter break from the North Island and the Cottage was welcoming, private, warm and cozy. This place hit all the right spots for us. Whatever the weather, or time of year there would always be something to do. Lesley & Mick

Super comfy, welcoming cottage

Located in a beautiful rural setting this cottage has such a welcoming feel and had everything we required to feel like we were at home away from home. Great base to explore the Tasman region or just to enjoy the peace and quiet that this property offers.

Gorgeous cottage, perfect for a family

The cottage is gorgeous and had everything we needed for a week-long stay. Only 10 minutes drive from the beach and restaurants or bike it in 25. General store close by too. Taking an outdoor bath and feeding the animals were highlights.
