Perfect Stay
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

Absolutely delightful
Lovely small home, surrounded by native bush and birdsong, and only a five min walk down a quiet laneway to the lake.Very comfortable indoor and outdoor spaces. Only one place in town to eat out so a kitchen with all amenities for cooking was much appreciated and enjoyed.We loved our stay here - hoping to come back and stay again.

Great Bach
We loved staying here, bach was above expectations. It was very clean , comfortable, warm and beautiful surroundings. Position handy to lake and village. The beds were comfortable with good supply of duvets.The fire was lovely as weather cold when we went and a plentiful supply of cut wood. Plenty of room outside for turning with a boat. Host was very good to deal with. Look forward to staying here again.

We had a lovely two night stay at the Bellbird Bach. Everything was tidy and the place was warm and cosy in the winter weather. Really close to the roto which was great and a short hīkoi to the alpine lodge for a meal. Thanks so much!

Bellbird Batch
To be fair the batch fit out was much superior to what we expected and of course had some concerns to make sure everything was in order on leaving.We are of an era when a batch was a little more simple.However we enjoyed our stay and the wifi Tv was good as could log n for UTube .I did have some concern when after the deposit was paid the instructional email did not have the attachment on two occasions.Sadly these days it is difficult to make a booking direct with the owner and the attendant add on costs whiv arrise.
