Vacation rentals in Gowanbridge

A beautiful home in a great location. If you a looking for peace, views, space for everyone and a beach location then this is a great spot. We really enjoyed how spacious the house is, and having two bathrooms and two living areas made for fewer teenage squabbles and a more relaxing time for all. The deck is a great spot to relax in the sun. We also admired the skilful craftsman ship that has gone into renovating this grand dame of a villa. Our bikes had a sheltered spot under the deck and we enjoyed connecting up with and exploring the cycle trails (although there is a bit of road to navigate before you get to them). All in all it was a superb stay and we were sad to leave. Claire is a great host.

nice tidy modern place , very clean and perfect location close to town and markets

Amanda's place for great for our short stay in Nelson. The house is as described and the pictures are accurate. It's a short walk (20 ish mins) into the centre of town so very well located. Amanda was very responsive and helpful too!

The location of Karaka Cottage was wonderful! The sunrises were glorious, and had us outside trying to get that 'great" photo. The coming and going of the tide in the Inlet, and the wildlife that went with it, were mesmerising. The Cottage was private and very well equipped, and the "light touch" decor was perfect for the location and history of the property.

We had a great stay at Nedda's place. The views were amazing and the neighborhood was nice and quiet. Thank you Nedda!

Coastal Bliss Cottage was absolutely perfect, as was the beautiful setting of the surrounding property. Beatrice has thought of everything to make her guests relaxed and comfortable. The place was well equipped and spotlessly clean. Our yummy breakfasts under the pergola were such a treat and we enjoyed our conversations with Beatrice and Yves, who made us feel most welcome. While the cottage is in a peaceful location, we found it was within easy reach of cafes, restaurants and numerous activities in nearby Mapua and beyond in Motueka and Nelson. We highly recommend this delightful cottage as one of the best AirBnBs we’ve stayed at and would love to return one day.

Perfect for my needs. Wouldn't hesitate to book with them again

This was a beautiful home with outstanding scenery, modern kitchen , great bed & sharp knives for cooking. You can easily walk to the lake & nearby trails. It was a five star place in most respects. But be aware that The main heat source is a wood stove. So If you don’t like building a fire or are allergic to wood smoke like I am, it’s better to stay here in the warm summer months.

Such a lovely place to stay! We travelled to Nelson for a work related trip and this had absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful views over the ocean and walkable distance to a few nearby restaurants. We had one minor inconvenience on day one where one of us was stuck in the lift (just a note to not have bags against the walls!) - something we would have known had we read the booklet inside, however as we were using the lift to get our bags upstairs we hadn't quite got that far... Vivienne was great on the phone and her and they helped us sort this out quickly. Overall a great stay/location and would recommend highly to other guests :)
