The Waters is a great out of the way location, with stunning views over the bay to the north. It is pricey, at $325 a night, and not everything matches that top of the range price. The hosts are very friendly, and were very happy to change around the breakfast to suit dietary requirements. And they certainly didn't skimp on... More

We ended up here after an incredible 10 day tour of the South Island and we certainly saved the best for last! The location is fantastic with so many incredible day trips, but you actually don't have to go far as walking down to the beach, kayaking in the morning sunrise, biking through wine country or simply soaking in the...

Definitely the best and most memorable stay during our tour of the South Island in Nov 2012. Claire and Phil were great hosts to us and took care to make sure that we felt right at home. The accommodation has great views and the interior design is fashionably minimalist yet homely. We also love the breakfasts that Claire prepared for... More

This site is incredible, the accommodations beautiful, and the hosts nothing less than perfect. Just perfect! Did Abel Tasman hike yesterday and it was easy drive to Kaiteriteri to catch water taxi. Hosts Claire and Phil are great with Phil's knowledge of wines and viticulture being an added plus! Claire is a gem and is full of enthusiasm, pride and... More

My wife and I had a great time at the Waters on our honeymoon last month, I'd rate it at the top of places we stayed. It takes a little effort to find but the remote setting is beautiful. Claire and Phil were great hosts, whether we were bumping into them around town or having a glass of wine with... More

This B & B is beautifully situated. It was one of the places I found even nicer and more impressive than on the pictures. The units are very modern and clean and have a superb view to the sea on one side and a nice balcony at a pond on the other side of the room. The family is very... More

I just got back from staying at the Waters for 5 nights with my boyfriend. It's a 9 month old property situated on a cliff overlooking the Tasman sea. The rooms are a very good size, with the king bed (king bed!) facing the pond side with a divider that provides a lot of privacy. Nice refrigerator with lots of... More

A fantastic place to stay, a great place to unwind. A 2 minute walk to the beach where most of the time we had it to ourselves. The hosts were great and as it was Christmas invited us to join the family for Christmas day breakfast. There were two spots to sit out either end of the apartment, one of... More
