Relax and Enjoy Breathtaking Views

Our one week stay at Ai's Rural Retreat was, despite the cold rainy weather, a pleasant experience. The accommodation is spacious ad nicely furnished. The elevated location provided, after the clouds disappeared, breathtaking views far across the landscape. The lovely owners, who live next door, were very private but very helpful if we needed something or had questions. A serene quiet place to relax while it is just a short drive to town. Highly recommended.

Quaint location just 10 minutes from Moutueka high street

The host was prompt with replying messages, and we had a spacious, quiet self-contained unit despite being connected to the main house. The pictures depicted the condition accurately. Would recommend as a base to explore the Tasman region.

Easter Break

Great accomodation with everything we needed. Very friendly & helpful host who came to help straight away when we had an issue with the washing machine. Beautiful setting with abundant birdlife that could be heard singing in the trees.
