Quail Farm, Colonial charm

Quail Farm represents a rural idyll that oozes charm and old style country living. While we didn’t use the outdoor bathtub for any sudsy star-gazing, we did enjoy sitting on the deck and watching the sun go down over the orchard. It is so peaceful and a lovely place to visit if you want some peace and quiet, while within striking distance of the Abel Tasman National Park and Moutere region. Rachel was delightful and baked us a gorgeous loaf of bread to go alongside our ample breakfast.

This house is well over 100 years old and largely made of wood. There are some nocturnal creaks and bangs that you might find a little unusual at first, but be assured you are safe and secure in this charming property.

The property was very quiet, pretty and comfortable. The bed was very comfortable and the breakfast delivered to us in a basket was delicious.

From the moment we arrived, Rachel made us feel very special. On the gate we had a cute welcome message. As soon as we arrived and opened the door, Rachel came to say hi and show us around. The place itself has so much character, it is much more than an ordinary bnb. You can tell there is an attention to detail with this place that made it perfect for our special occacasion The provided breakfast was all homemade and wonderful. If we wanted more we just asked and were given.

I did not want to leave this place it was so nice.

Such a pretty property, beautiful gardens and surrounds, very private and welcoming

Prachtige tuin, mooie grote en hoge kamer met prima bed. Alles was tot in de details geregeld door zorgzame host Rachel

Niets

We had a lovely stay at Rachel’s place and breakfast was amazing. The garden is lovely and everything is as described/in the pictures.

It did not concern us, but you cannot actually cook in the kitchen as there is no stove (but grill for bbq outside).

Loved our 3 nights at Quail Farm, Rachel was the perfect host, brought us warm home made bread and preserves for breakfast. The cottage is gorgeous, enjoyed the outdoor bath after a day on the Abel Tasman. We sat looking over the gardens watching the various wildlife potter around, it was quiet and very peaceful. Wished we could have stayed longer!

Absolutely stunning property. Fully enjoyed walking the grounds as well as meeting the resident Cat! Was a perfect retreat near Nelson, and was great to come back to the outdoor tub after hiking Abel Tasman.

Breakfast basket is lovely, though figuring out where to store everything in the tiny kitchenette wasn't the easiest. Homemade bread and spreads were fabulous, though agreed with someone else - the option for protein would be great.

We had a lovely stay at Quail Farm. The colonial charm and unique atmosphere make it a truly special and relaxing place. It has a wonderful old-style feel, yet provides all the basic comforts you need. A great spot to unwind and enjoy something a little different.
