Independent in Marlborough Forest from NZ$134

"It was a nice beach batch that had everything needed for 1 night. Enjoyed sitting in sun eating our dinner. Something had died so there was a bad smell. Probably a bird. The showers outside were good pressure, but they really needed to be cleaned, dirt and leaves in them. But a great family batch"

"The hosts were very engaging and helpful even when there was a local black-out. The views and peacefulness were terrific as well as the fresh veggies from their garden."

"Beautiful location - right on the beach! Lovely big room with a huge bed and beautiful views. Friendly and welcoming staff - I would definitely recommend staying here."

"Location across from beach, pier, and bush walks was ideal. Host was very accommodating."

"Cleanest motel we have stayed in. The bathroom was just sparkling! Great check in staff - very friendly and helpful. "

"Everything was good except that the TV did not cast as it was too old and the bedroom configuration was not helpful for adults sharing living accommodation, i.e. two of the bedrooms were accessed by going through the other room with sleeping accommodation. It would have been helpful to know this for privacy reasons for our group. Otherwise, we had a lovely stay and were very happy."

"awesome views, clean property, spacious, laundry options, sauna, and huge deck to enjoy the sun, food, wine and view"

"Owners were very accommodating allowing for early check in and late checkout, the property was nice and clean it had all the facilities we needed. Was a great get away for us. "

"Well designed Thermal Mass house in a beautiful, tranquil setting. Lovely getaway from the busy city. Short drive to beach and shops. Two stores close by and a Four Square, also a popular fish and chop shop and bar. Limited internet access, no tv, so we played lots of family games. Only slightly negative point was the steep driveway, but my husband coped by putting his foot down! Joanna was a great host and very responsive. We would definitely stay again "
