Farmstay vacation rentals in Marlborough District

A wonderful cottage with everything you need, the view is amazing and we absolutely loved our time there.

Ivor and Robyn are so lovely. We loved the views and the animals and had a much needed peaceful nights sleep

We loved our 1 week stay for our summer holiday in Moteuka. We loved staying somewhere rural with beautiful views, but a quick 5 min drive to town. Yvette and Ross are such friendly hosts. Thank you for sharing your property with us. We all loved the pond area, warm enough to swim, paddleboard, or sit in our rings and relax in! The house was very clean and well presented. Comfortable beds. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Appreciated all the included things we could use in the kitchen/bathroom/laundry, makes a big difference not having to buy all of these extras. Wonderful big deck. The bedrooms did get hot at night for sleeping, fans were provided though and there is aircon in the living area. Smaller studio unit underneath the main house can be rented too if traveling with more people. Would highly recommend and would love to return one day. Thank you

We had a wonderful stay at Shanti's place. The tent is super cozy and has everything you need to get a feeling of luxery while being outside in nature. The river that flows through her garden makes you calm down and the sun deck is perfect to just relax on. We slept like roses in the big comfortable bed and she even had bathrobes hanging which were nice and cozy after using the outdoor shower. Lots of things to do and see around the area to or to just have a coffee or drink. Definitely recommend this place! :)

Wonderful stay with family. Great spot too. Overall we all enjoyed ourselves and would love to come back again

This was our second visit to Atatu and we weren't disappointed. This is a truly beautiful place to stay. The house is fantastic with every facility you could possibly need. A place for total relaxation with pool, spa and space. Beautiful countryside and the sounds of nature on your doorstep. Panoramic views across rolling hills of olive and pine nut trees out to the ocean beyond. If you like to cook then you'll find everything you need in the well appointed kitchen. Lots of dining space both inside and out. Basia is the ultimate host. Informative, helpful, proactive, doing everything she can to make sure your stay is perfect. We had a wonderful stay and hope to return a third time next year.

Beautiful surroundings - stunning weather- river to swim in - gorgeous home - indoor/outdoor living- lots of space for children to run around in - fruit trees - feeding the chooks and sheep - whilst having breakfast under the grape vine - What More Could You Want for!!❤️

A beautiful place to stay. Lovely peaceful deck and garden area to relax and enjoy a BBQ or early morning coffee. Frank and Maria are lovely hosts with great local knowledge and recommendations for first time visitors. Enjoyed our stay and the yummy apple crumble that was a special treat. Highly recommend……

Jennifer's place home away home. Felt so comfortable away from home. Each and every thing, she has given importance for the comfort of residents. One need not worry about any thing. She is a wonderful host, waited for us to reach the place and given all the information needed for us and left. She has maintained that place so neat and comfy. We would love to return to Kaikura and stay in Jennifer's place and also recommend this place for every one. Home away home. Wonderful break fast with lots of variety and no one is left out in that spread. She has even taken care of small details for us, when we reached so late. Thank you Jennifer for the hospitality and god bless you.

Anna was great to deal with, from communication before we arrived to the fresh fruit and eggs. It was a great place to stay in a beautiful setting. Just wish we had longer to stay and would definitely stay again.

Peaceful, eclectic cottage which has been tastefully restored to pay tribute to the original building, plus some stylish new touches! Loved the story of how it all came together, and the proximity to Kaikōura was great. Thoughtfully put together space. Thanks for having us!

We loved our stay at the cottage!! It may be my favorite airbnb of all time. From the welcome basket to the wine tasting and the spa, it was relaxing and wonderful! This was a great place for two families who could walk to so many different wineries and then come home to cook a nice dinner at night! This would also be great for a girls weekend in wine country! This was a luxury but also super comfortable retreat!

Sally and Bruce's place was absolutely wonderful! A great place to call home during our road trip (especially after a very long day of hiking in Abel Tasman). Not to mention, the bed was very comfortable! We had the best time.

This was a great peaceful place to stay. It allowed us to spread out and enjoy the rural surrounds. The property exceeded our expectations and Alistair was very responsive. To our questions. The new outdoor baths were a favourite, as were the multiple parts of the deck to enjoy at different times of the day.

A fantastic place for a family of six! It’s well-equipped with plenty of amenities, and the thoughtful extras like drinks, chocolates, and more were a lovely surprise. Annitta is a wonderful host—very responsive and easy to communicate with. Highly recommended! We’re definitely coming back.

Lovely (if short) stay at Caroline's. Such a beautiful peaceful spot and the apartment was very clean with gorgeous decor. Highly recommend.

Roger's place was perfect for our overnight in Picton. Spotlessly clean. Small details done well. Felt good to be there. And then when I left an eye mask there, Roger went 'above and beyond' and couriered it back to me. So kind!

Jane and Matt’s house was incredibly peaceful with amazing views. This would be ideal for a family or 2 couples. The outside verandahs to soak up the view were excellent. The amenities are excellent. We loved the big bath with a view! And the bed was so comfortable Definetely need a car to get into town but we appreciated being a bit more isolated and peaceful.

Such a great place to stay. Yes you need a car, yes it’s a ways out of Blenheim but it is totally worth it. Joanna is a great host, very response who has put together a really special place to stay. Everything you need is very well designed and put together in the unusual small space. Lots of home comforts, stunning eggs for breakfast and who wouldn’t love feeding the Llamas at the end of a wine tour. Thanks for having us.

This beautiful cottage is an absolute gem of a find and far more beautiful than the pictures. Set in a very picturesque vineyard with incredible views of the mountains and surrounded by incredible rose bushes - I don’t know what else you could wish for. We felt right at home in the cottage which was well equipped and privately tucked away from the main house. We were told to help ourselves from the lemon and orange trees which we did. Bed and linen are extremely comfortable and cosy with a lovely view from the bed out onto the vineyard with the mountain in the background. The toilet is in an odd location but definitely not a dealbreaker - you can access it from the kitchen without leaving the cottage. Outside BBQ was a huge plus. We would return to this slice of paradise in a heartbeat, good for the soul!

This place was amazing!!! We booked the whole place and had a family reunion with 15 adults, 2 kids and an infant and the villa was perfect! If anything she under sells how wonderful it is!

We had a fantastic stay at Euan's place. This was the perfect place to unwind and relax after a long ride. The vineyards in the area were topnotch and we enjoyed driving to nearby Blenheim to swim in the fantastic local pool.

Loved Gina & John’s place! The whole place was spotless and tidy. It’s close enough to town that it’s not too far away but far away enough that you’re not surrounded by others. I was a bit nervous about the road noise from other comments but genuinely didn’t notice it at all unless we were sitting in the lounge with the doors open! The breakfast supplies were highly appreciated (especially the hot chocolate, milk, bread, butter, PB and jam!) Loved the animals. Costs a bit more than I’d usually spend on accommodation but it was worth every cent, I would 100% stay here again next time we’re in Kaikoura. Animals were an added bonus and very friendly!

We loved our stay in the Creek Studio at The Barn! Check in was easy, the studio was clean & had anything you would need, and it was nestled in the perfect spot. There were some cows & a little duck that greeted us as well. 100% recommend :)
