From people who stayed.

“We very much enjoyed our days at Kina retreat. This spacious home, catered very well for our family intergenerational group of 14. It is set on a wonderful property with spectacular views. The pool area was just the ticket on warm autumn days. The table tennis and pool table were enjoyed by young and not so young. Al fresco dining a treat.”

“Really comfy and clean home at the end of the street with a great view! Super cute neighborhood. I especially loved playing the piano at night after our adventures. The host was really accommodating and responsive when our flight got cancelled. One of those places that we were really sad to leave, it was just perfect!”

“Holiday Nelson’s team was amazing to work with! They had multiple proactive check ins with us and when we experienced a small plumbing issue they came right away to fix it. The view from the decks is superb and you’ll find yourself in tranquility as you watch the school of sail boats perform exercises or watching the colorful sunset. Plenty of cafes and restaurants in a short drive. For early morning risers I recommend Sublime coffee which is right down the street as they roast the beans and provide delicious coffee drinks. This home is perfectly cozy to catch up on a good book as you keep the deck doors open for a nice breeze. The beds are very comfortable and the laundry was easy to use. The neighborhood is quiet and everyone around seems very friendly. This location was perfect for us to easily get to Abel Tasman or to explore local vineyards in the region. We would absolutely stay here again Thank you for the great communication from start to finish! Other Airbnb’s should take lessons from you! We loved the home and you provided wonderful amenities and created a comfortable atmosphere for relaxation and enjoyment of the views. Hope to stay again in the future!”
