"Bellbird Bach was everything we expected. Well appointed and equipped for a great relaxing stay. Conveniently located to explore the Nelson Lakes park, visit Blenheim, Nelson and some great wineries in Renwick area. Would definitely stay again and recommend it to friends and family.Jan and Phill "

"Property well equipped, spacious amongst lovely grounds. Hosts went out of their way to overcome Statyz horrendous handling of the booking.We booked through Stayz and paid deposit via Visa card months in advance.Once in NZ we were constantly on the road - often without on-line contact. We eventually received Stayz request to make our final payment and spent 3 unsuccessful hours trying to do so. We had a strong signal and Stayz system was the problem.Can't remember exactly when/how but the lovely host manged to get in contact and agreed settlement could be made on arrival. She indicated the property's location - which we could not find on arrival. Stayz documentation didn't even have the name of the property - let alone the address.We phoned Sydney and the agent advised that the address wouldn't be provided without final payment (which we accepted). We explained Stayz inability to process our previous payment attempt but the agent showed no interest.The agent said he would connect us to the Stayz phone payment service. 30 mins later there was still no answer so we hang up.We knew the general location of the individual unit, and was forced to door-knock the neighborhood (it had no signage). The host was horrified over Stayz treatment.The agent later txt us several times to finally advise he would send address.but our phone was still waiting to make payment. No address received by phone. txt or email5 VALUABLE HOLIDAY HOURS WASTED.ABSOLUTELY HOPELESS ! ! ! ! "

"the cabin is awesome, fantastic construction and on an amazing property"

"What a wonderful property! We rented the one bedroom “hut” with a private bath. The little hut was adorable, very clean and nicely outfitted. The grounds were amazing, with a well stocked shared kitchen, cute little living area, washing machine and open air drying area and lots of rabbits too! Fellow residents were a wonderful bunch and we enjoyed meeting everyone. You can also rent ebikes on site and they gave us an amazing discount on really high quality bikes. There is a trail system connected to the property. A wonderful beach at Rabbit island is a twenty minute ride or a 10 minute drive away. This place would also be an incredible site for a wedding or a corporate retreat. (My understanding is that the main house is rentable too and there are big tents already set up on the property.) We are already plotting a return to our hut! "
