Lovely property - great view

The property had everything we needed. It was in a beautiful location, very peaceful - up on a hilltop with great views down to Nelson Bay. Lovely outdoor seating/ eating area which took advantage of the view. Very comfortable bed and very quiet location. Perfect for a relaxing weekend break to get some fresh country air. The kitchen was well equipped. The owners were pleasant and helpful.

Amazing Location, Amazing Property

What more could you ask for..... spotlessly clean top quality accommodation that is well equipped with everything you could need. The pool was the icing on the cake. We swam every day in the warm water. Our host (Gina) met us on arrival, introduced us to the property and local area. She was always available if we needed anything extra. We will definitely come back and stay again very soon. Love this place!

Host profile image
After years of travel before kids and years of self catering holidays with kids, we think we know what makes a great stress free and fun holiday. All ages welcome! We love our place and aim to make your stay with us one of your best holiday memories. It's a real privilege to meet so many different people from New Zealand and overseas. We take our cue from you - just a quick hello or chatting for hours over a glass of wine!

Why they chose this property

Come and enjoy a slice of paradise in the sunniest spot in New Zealand. We fell in love with the view and you will too! Everybody says you can't take a photo to do it justice - we know, we've been trying for years.
We designed and built our dream home and feel very lucky to be here.

What makes this property unique

We offer all the freedom, space and privacy of your own place with the added benefit of somebody available should you need help or advice with anything to make your holiday run smoothly. We want you to get the most out of your time with us. We are in a perfect location to easily visit the region's many attractions just 25 mins from Nelson city in one direction and 45 mins to Abel Tasman National Park in the other.
You can enjoy just staying put with the view and sipping a wine at the pool or day tripping out in every direction.
