4 Bedroom House in Cable Bay, Cable Bay (Nelson)

Starlight is a real holiday place. Form here you can watch the day unfold, the tide come and go the colours change and the birds feed. At high water you can swim at the bottom of the garden and at low tide you can collect cockles or pipi’s on the Estuary. In the evening you can saute your catch on the BBQ and wash them down with a local Sauvignon.
You can sit in any room with your book and watch nature going about its day or join together with family or friends at the main table or on the balcony to play cards or a board game or have a feast prepared in the kitchen or at the BBQ.
When you are ready for an adventure you can start small and walk the 1kM to the start of the Cable Bay Walkway and go as far as you like on this fantastic cliff top coastal walkway through farmland and native bush with a marine reserve below.
Or paddle a Kayak pick on the estuary paddle or a kayak on the estuary and go to places few can reach.
Down the road 3kM toward Nelson is Cable Bay Adventures where you can ride a horse along back country, drive four wheel motor bike along tracks and through streams, fly the sky wire or have a game of paint ball.
Maybe you would just like a really nice coffee or a light lunch at the Cable Bay Cafe.
If you must get in the car it is only 20kM to Nelson and from here a quick boat ride to the Able Tasman National park. In Nelson there are award winning restaurants, craft breweries, wineries, glass blowers and potters. Best of all when you have had your fill it is a quick drive back to the peace quiet and tranquility of Cable Bay.
The owner is sometimes on site in separate accommodation away from the main house.

Summary: Property was beautiful! The most stunning views and convenient location. Unfortunately some of the kitchen items were unclean, sticky pans and dirty plates. we were disappointed to find that the property Manager also lived onsite which wasn't stated in the discription when booking the property. as we felt like we had to ask for permission to do what we wanted to (this was a 26th birthday trip for us and we felt we couldn't have friends there for dinner without causing some upset, and had to ask him for permission to do so which seemed unfair given the price we were paying) and that we couldn't enjoy the property as much as intended (having a bath/shower looking at the view) as we're were anxious he would see us.. i feel like this should be stated going further as we thought we were booking and paying for a private batch as nothing stated elsewise. Other than that Chris was pleasant to deal with, and the property is in a beautiful location with superb views.

Summary: We had a lovely family break in Cable Bay. The MTBer's had an awesome time at the MTB park. The rest of us enjoyed the water. Piwakawaka's greeted us and checked in on us ever day. Thoughtful details meant this was really a great stay.

Summary: Starlight is a unique property with views over the ever changing estuary and of the night sky from the comfort of your bed through the ceiling skylights (starlights). Very special.

Summary: We arrived direct from Canada looking for tranquility, peacefulness and natural beauty to ease our way out of jet lag and into New Zealand and we could not have been more pleased. Property was accurately described, host warmly welcomed us and our only wish is that we could have stayed longer.

Summary: Chris has a slice of heaven with his place on Cable Bay. The privacy, view and night sky are outstanding.A few things to note, although the listing says for six, the host charges extra for anyone above two people and a linen fee per person. Additionally, the host is extremely eco minded, be sure to read what water you can drink. Bring a sleep mask as not all rooms have curtains. The location and sights are amazing and Chris is very responsive, We think with a bit more investment (kitchen items, towels, cleaning products, etc) and attention to detail (stove directions, laundry, shoes for the water, etc) this place would be out of this world.

Summary: The bach is wonderful, views of the bay, every bedroom has views of the sky and stars. The southern cross room was spectacular on our last night seeing multitudes of stars from the bed absolutely stunning! Quite the novelty sleeping under the stars yet toasty and warm inside a house. Wonderful stay, it has made me consider how much waste we leave as a family of only 3 nights. I liked the fact that you have biolytic worms that treat waste water. It has also been an experience that the kids will remember for a lifetime, the time where they all got their own rooms for a change too. Thankyou. Highly recommend.

Summary: This house is situated right on Cable Bay, and is a short distance of a very beautiful hiking trail. Our host greeted us when we arrived and was very courteous. The house was very beautiful, very clean, and the stargazing at night was spectacular. I would definitely stay in this house again.

Summary: We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The uninterrupted view over Cable Bay was beautiful and quite meditative with the ever- changing tides. The floor plan of the house was unique and creative, and made the most of the space. Access to the kayaks was a highlight, along with proximity to all sorts of adventures and scenic places. Chris provided the perfect balance of local information/ advice and respect for our privacy -- thank you!

Summary: We had a very comfortable stay. Chris was immensely helpful. The views from all the rooms are just stunning. We loved the dark skies for skywatching and enjoyed the kayaking. The kitchen is very well equipped and the bath with view of the stars just sublime.

Summary: Just an easy 20 minute drive up the coast from Nelson, Starlight is a treasure. Peaceful, beautiful, well-stocked and with lots of toys, it was great for our party of five (grandparents, parents and 4-year-old grandson.)
