Welcome to your peaceful retreat by the Tasman coast — a cosy, thoughtfully designed space where you may hear the ocean from your bed and start and end each day with a chorus of birdsong. Tucked away in a quiet, safe neighbourhood, this one-bedroom, one living room hideaway is perfect for travellers seeking rest, comfort, and a gentle connection with nature. Step into a bright, calming one-bedroom retreat that blends simplicity with comfort. The inviting living area is perfect for slow mornings, reading, or unwinding after exploring the region. Soft textures, natural light, and thoughtful touches create an atmosphere that feels warm, quiet, and grounding. The cosy bedroom offers a comfortable Queen bed and restful ambience — fall asleep to the hush of the ocean and wake refreshed to birdsong drifting through the air. Your private outdoor bathroom is designed with style and comfort in mind. It’s a beautifully unique feature that adds a touch of retreat-style luxury to your stay. The beach is just a few metres away. The area is rich with native birdlife — mornings and evenings bring gentle birdsong that makes the whole space feel like a nature sanctuary. Tui birds frequent the surrounding trees, delighting guests with their distinctive and soothing calls. Just minutes away, you’ll find charming cafés, restaurants, artisan shops, and the relaxed coastal vibe the Tasman region is known for. Enjoy the perfect balance: peaceful and tucked away, yet close to everything you need. With walks, bike trails, beaches, and lookouts nearby, you can step outside and explore at your own pace. Whether it’s a morning stroll or a day cycling the trails, the region offers plenty to discover. Abel Tasman National Park offers world-class coastal tracks and golden beaches, while nearby Nelson provides markets and a relaxed arts-and-culture scene. We offer friendly, responsive hosting with quick communication and a warm welcome, while always respecting your privacy. Enjoy your stay!

We’re fortunate to live in a truly special place — right by the beach in Ruby Bay. I love walking along the shoreline, watching the ocean shift with the light and taking in the beauty of the sunrise. The gentle coastal breeze keeps us cool through the summer and adds to the relaxed atmosphere. Just nearby, the Mapua Wharf offers excellent restaurants, a wonderful café, and a collection of artisan shops where you can find unique, handcrafted gifts. The area is also home to several inspiring art galleries, making it a vibrant place to explore and enjoy.

We live on a quiet cul-de-sac with friendly neighbours, creating a peaceful and welcoming atmosphere. Ocean Sounds is tucked away among trees and lush greenery, offering a sense of privacy and tranquility. The renowned Great Taste Trail runs right past our doorstep, drawing cyclists from around the world. And best of all — the beach is just a few metres away.
