"We, including our little furry boy Maximus, have become regular visitors to this gorgeous, tranquil little piece of heaven. Lynn once again went out of her way to make us feel welcome and at home. We highly recommend Sleepers Vineyard if what you are looking for is to relax, enjoy quality time with your furr babies and drink some of the best wines whilst enjoying Louis the pig, the girls and chucks."

"Everything you could need for a long or short stay. Great veranda to enjoy the morning coffee from (or any time of day). If your tall, you need to watch the height of a couple of the doorways at night. Would definitely stay again."

"The hosts were amazing and the cottage was super clean and welcoming. Touch of fresh flowers and some little treats in the fridge. Eco friendly too."

"Property has a great location for watching all the activity in Mārahau from the deck whilst having breakfast! Explored the Abel Tasman tracks, visited Split Apple Rock and Kaiteriteri. Cafe/bar was close by for coffees or happy hour and dinner. Lovely holiday in a kiwi bach - thank you!"

"Lovely spacious bach. Lovely log burner. Amazing view. Highy recommend."

"A great place for our two night stay in Havelock. Everything we needed was provided and it is a very comfortable and spacious cottage. Great location - just a short walk to town and the mail boat wharf. Would definitely stay here again when we are back in the region. No hesitation in recommending Bora Castle"

"Great place to stay. Owners very friendly and enjoyed chatting with them. Loved the chickens and the friendly fantails. Very peaceful and close to all the attractions in the area."

"Over all good bar the sleeping arrangements and the odd bath room set up which could not be locked for privacy. Not suitable for easy access with 6 metre boat in tow very tricky driveway and would be near impossible without a 4 drive vehicle."

"Cute, comfy little pad in the heart of Mapua… serene and relaxing, thank you."

"Amazing long weekend! Fantastic wee place to stay . Definitely will be back ."

"We absolutely loved our stay here! Being right on the beach was amazing. The house is really comfortable with everything you need for cooking etc. loved how big the bedroom is and ensuite was a real bonus. So great to have had a house where our dogs can be with us too! Just perfect!"

"Nice break away. Could do with an upgrade on the shower head and hotplate. Tv remote did not work for the kids entertainment. Still worth it"

"The place had everything we needed. We cook a lot and there were ample kitchen utensils for all our needs. The wood fireplace worked great. We were able to walk to the water taxi and trail from the home. Highly recommend the home."

"Had a lovely ANZAC weekend at Fern Tree cottage - even went to the service at 11am just down the road. Spacious and warm, and just around the corner from the shops and bakery. Kids loved the rooms, and there was plenty of space for everyone. Highly recommended."

"Loved our four night stay. Lots to do in the area and lovely hosts. Thanks."

"The view and location was amazing and the house was generally clean and comfortable with some dusty bits and some cobwebs. But the place is a bit tatty and run down. It definitely needs an update or a price change. The kitchen needs more equipment, wooden spoons, oven dishes and some decent knives. The upstairs bathroom door doesn't stay closed. The screen doors on the balcony are broken. There was a trampoline which my son was excited to use but the net is badly broken so not safe to...

"The property is quirky with a fun eliment to it. There is a well stocked kitchen and plenty of other batch style books, games and DVDs. Not a property for elderly or people who struggle with stairs. Views are great and the grounds well kept."

"This is a great bach in a beautiful location that is easy , comfortable quiet and a simple walk away from Kaiteriteri main front . would highly recommend it"

"We loved our stay at your batch. Went swimming everyday, a perfect slice of paradise. Close enough for day trips to Havelock , Picton, Blenheim and Nelson Would love to come stay again Thanks"

"These are beautifully furnished apartments with the state of art facilities suitable for a traveler that requires quality, comfort and convenience while in Nelson"

"Pleasant staff. Nice unit"

"Great hosts, nothing too much trouble and safe bike storage. Thank you"
