We stayed 5 nights in the Suntop cottage which has sweeping views over the bay. The cottage was well appointed and very comfortable with full cooking and washing facilities. The property is a sheep and cattle farm covering a huge acreage on top of a hill overlooking Nelson and the bay. It is a few kms out of Nelson and... More

After 3 nights in City View cottage we wished we had booked for twice as long. After a drive filled with magnificent views, we arrived at Harris Hill to be greeted by Sue and the dogs. The view was even more spectacular than we had seen in the photos. The family is friendly and helpful. It is wonderful to hear... More

We just spent a week with the Harris' at Harris Hill. It was awesome. The family is so friendly. We came as strangers but left as friends. There is so much exploring to do and coming with three you boys we really appreciated the space to run around. It is an excellent location for view and an easy 5 min... More

We spent 2 months in "Grandma's" cottage at Harris Hill and loved the experience. The whole family (Sue, Mike, Rachel, Wayne and others) are all very friendly and helpful. The cottage was well appointed and immaculate. The views from the hill are spectacular and the bird song delightful. We really enjoyed being able to walk out the door and go... More

Do you want scenery? Do you want serenity? Do you want farm living? Do you want clean comfort. Harris Hill Cottages have these and more. We are not single time stayers at this location. The cottages are located 1000 feet above the Tasman Bay and looking West over the bay at the snow capped Able-Tasman Mountains (in the winter season).... More

We spent two nights here during exquisite weather, and were sad to leave. The lambs, sheep, calfs, dogs and puppies, llama, pet pig, and wonderful hosts Sue, Mike and their family, all along with a well-equipped farm-style studio - made for quite the unexpected treat. We barbecued and cooked every night and only drove down to Nelson for must-have supplies,... More

We have stayed a lot of places in Asia in our many years here and this place stands out as one of our top two favorites (the other was staying on a sandbar in the ocean off the island of Sabah). The cottages were well equipped and in very good condition. We easily cooked and ate in our outside. There... More
