Admiralty Bay : locations de vacances en bord de mer

A beautiful little cabin in a peaceful setting over looking a lovely little harbour. Super close to Picton so if getting the ferry makes life a lot easier / quicker! Had slight confusion getting in but David was super quick to respond & came to make sure all was okay - friendly & responsive! Really comfy bed & lovely little touches left for guests. Highly recommend!

We had a beautifully relaxing and energising couple of days at Tira Ora. The hosts were super lovely, the place was full of rustic charm, animals and birds everywhere. The rooms were comfortable, home-cooked food was delicious, and the place so captivating, we were sorry to have to leave. Great for families, a real natural treat away from it all.

We had a wonderful family Christmas holiday by the sea. The location is amazing being on Queen Charlotte Sound with beautiful views across Waikawa and the sea. We went fishing from the jetty and very much appreciated the use of the paddle boards and kayak and hot tub. Its one of those places where you don't feel you need to 'go anywhere' but to just stay and relax which I guess is what holidays are for. It was hard to leave this holiday home

Amazing spot to get away from it all but close enough to Waikawa and Picton if you need anything. Everything was in great condition and we'll definitely be back to have a drink in the deck while watching all the boats come and go.

Loved Ruth's place and really found an appreciation for the art. Awesome location nice and central to town and bars and restaurants close by with beautiful views and all the homely things you could need. Place was also really cosy and homely

We had a lovely stay at Ben’s summer Bach. Waking up each morning to a view of the bay can’t be beat. The location is close enough to access Picton and Blenheim for restaurants and cafes etc while still feeling secluded and tranquil. Each access to trails and a wonderful place to kayak around. The fenced yard was perfect for my pups as well.

Mooie fijne plek. Je voelt je er goed thuis, we werden heerlijk verwend met extraatjes, en lekkere muslie voor het ontbijt. De dochter vond het heel leuk om tussen de vele boeken te kijken. Jammer dat ze voor lezen nog iets te jong is.

This place is amazing You can see sting rays gliding just below the deck And fish Sea birds So beautiful!!

We have had the most amazing stay! The apartment is even better than it looks in the photos! View to die for from the enormous balcony, super comfortable beds, high end appliances & friendly accommodating hosts… we don’t want to leave!

We found the Clifftop Retreat cabin suited our needs perfectly and Bob provided an excellent level of communication, service and local tips. He also ensured the pantry and wines were stocked with high quality local products. The accomodation was very good with comfortable bed, terrific functional kitchen and amazing clifftop views of the surrounding bay and local area. The location was perfect for our walking trips up into the Abel Tasman National Park and also fantastic local restaurants and wineries. Bob also organised a pick up from the airport for us as we arrived late at night. Overall a fantastic stay and would certainly recommend Clifftop Retreats very highly.

On arrival the bach was unfortunately not ready for us, but this was due to an oversight by the cleaner, not Emma. Emma was super quick to respond and very apologetic when we messaged about it and couldn't have been more prompt in getting things resolved which we really appreciated. After this initial blip we loved our four night stay here. The bach feels like the best of both worlds - an old family bach and the charm that comes with that, made even better with significant modernising updates like the massive glass doors, and all the other mod cons and extras (big fridge, dishwasher, washer and dryer, heatpump/AC, Chromecast, etc). It is off the beaten track and feels so peaceful and private. Being so close to the sea is a real treat. We would love to come back some time in the warmer months so we can make the most of the amazing outdoor areas and pool! (just a bit too chilly for us softies to swim in it at this time of year... we did love the outdoor fireplace though!). :)

Beautiful place and location, and Sally and Wayne are very welcoming. A cute little village with great restaurants and ice cream is just a short walk down the beach. I highly recommend this spot for anyone, but especially for people interested in sitting on the deck soaking up the gorgeous scenery !

lovely apartment. everything you need. easy walk to the beach. local shops nearby and an easy drive into city (or bus right out front).

Felt like home& wanted to stay forever. Thanks

Difficult to cover in a few words what a great find this was. We stayed for 3 weeks and felt at home straight away. It had everything we needed for a peaceful holiday, visiting family locally but also having our own space. We felt immediately and warmly welcome, but not intruded upon; the facilities were simple but superb, the bed was comfortable and the views were amazing - we could never tire of them.

Fantastic apartment to stay in, spacious & beautifully clean with very comfortable beds. The showers were amazing- great water pressure! The pantry was well-stocked with essentials, including milk left in the fridge for us. Puzzles, books and games provided were also fun and appreciated. We especially enjoyed just walking across the road to the beach without having to use the car. Great cafes and restaurants nearby too. A wonderful home away from home. Would thoroughly recommend- (my only reservation being that a private skateboard ramp is under construction directly in front of this property, so I imagine the noise of that in use will considerably disturb the peace of staying there in the future. )

This Airbnb exceeded our expectations. There was lots of room for the group of us. It had all the appliances and utensils needed in their kitchen. The hosts were great communicators and provided us with all the information we needed to get to the bnb and how to explore the surrounding areas.

We had a great time in Mapua. John and Kim were absolutely lovely and gave us very good recommendations for activities. For example we could use their bikes to go to Rabbit Island. We also had fun using their canoe. The wharf with bars and restaurants is only a short walk from the house. We would definitely stay here again.

Thanks Lou for being so responsive and accommodating. It really was appreciated.

Absolutely one of the best spots we’ve been. The house is very clean and nicely appointed to the best possible view. The host is very helpful and really went out of way by helping us prepare the clean sheets and linen at the last minute, which really made our day easy. Thank you so much Brad for hosting us and offering us the best new year!
