About this property

Spectacular Hope Farm Stay

Spectacular Hope farm stay is a 3 bedroom home situated on a small working farm/lifestyle block. The private rural, bush setting makes this the perfect group getaway on your next visit to Nelson. Stunning views out towards Mt Arthur and the Kahurangi ranges, with sheep grazing peacefully around the world renowned orchards of the Waimea plains.

This 3 bedroom home includes 3 well-appointed bedrooms. The comfortable and bright living space includes lovely wooden floors throughout, high beam ceilings and a spacious kitchen that has everything you need for meals indoors. The sun-drenched bay window is the perfect spot to curl up with a good book, or in the cooler months, sit yourself by the fireplace and relax.

For days exploring the local area, Richmond town centre is less than a 10 minute drive away. Or head to Nelson and discover all that it has to offer, with plenty of beaches, museums, restaurants and walks to enjoy starting from just a 20 minute drive from your door.

It's a great location for mountain bikers. Nelson region has some of the best mountain biking tracks in New Zealand. Only 40 mins to Abel Tasman National Park one of the 'must-dos' of any visit to the Nelson region. The popular scenic Aniseed Valley picnic area is just over the back fence, great for a dip in the river on a hot summer's day.

For a secluded escape Spectacular Hope awaits!

We had a nice stay. The house is in a quiet area and has lovely views. Very clean with everthing you could need. Quite close to a small town with a 4 square so supplies were easy to get.

This property was great! The kids had fun in the garden, there was heaps to explore and they loved the ripe plums. Plenty of space, nice outdoor area and view over the valley. 40 minutes to Able Tasman national park and 20 minutes to Nelson. We enjoyed our stay a lot.

Nelson Stay

The property is amazing and is much more spacious than the photos show. It is very central to a number of great loacations and allowed us a stepping stone to some amazing places within a 60 minute drive. Would thoroughly recommend and would look to stay here again on our next trip

Country Experience

The place was a great size for our family of 7. We enjoyed the quietness of the country and the many sounds of sheep and birds. We got to see goats, cats, a dog, bunnies and even a hedgehog. The neighbours are very friendly and even let our children see a chick. Anne was great at responding and treated us very well. We would definitely stay there again.

A lovely quiet restful place to stay. Beautiful rural outlook. Conveniently located between Nelson and Motueka beaches. Look out for wasps. Plagued by ants but the kids thoroughly enjoyed observing them! Great environment for families. Thanks Phoebe and John

Home away from home

A fully equipped, functional home situated in a quiet location close to Nelson city and attractions in the Tasman District. We used the home as our base when visiting relatives over Christmas, and it gave us our own retreat to return to each evening. It was a great spot to start a couple of bike rides from too. Thanks John & Phoebe, and Anne!

A Perfect Kiwi Experience

This is an ideal, well equipped rural home. Bedrooms all have walk outs to a patio where we ate meals with spectacular hillside views. Richmond is minutes away with excellent shopping and playgrounds for the kids. Just up the hill within three kilometres we discovered three lovely Reserves with river swimming, (including a rope swing!) and outdoor barbecues. Nelson is a short drive and so is Rabbit Island with a beach and bike trails beyond compare. Our favourite bakery was up the road in Wakefield where we also found a playground with a zip line, a beautiful riverside track, and the best little golf course. It was great to get to know this area and return to our farmhouse at night. Peaceful. Private. Only the occasional cry of the kiwis in the night. Our family of seven had an unforgettable experience. Thanks John and Phoebe for sharing your paradise with us.

A colourful, restful home.

Right from the beginning of the driveway, we were impressed with the property and its well established planting. We fell for the grounds surrounding the house. They are just so beautiful. The house interior was more appealing and vibrant than the photos show. The beds and lounge suite were very comfortable, with the bathrooms and laundry also operational and presented well. The kitchen is well stocked with equipment, linen and some food, coffee, tea, and sugar and with the hot water already on. We recommend a couple of very minor repairs. The stove wall switch, the ensuite toilet seat rubber supports, and the flusher on the family toilet sometimes gets dislodged inside the tank. These did not detract from our most wonderful stay. We were happy to sweep, mop, vacuum and clean at the end, and keep the worm farm well fed. Thank you. We were unaware of any communication with the property manager, but accessing everything we needed and the house being so well prepared and welcoming is communication.

Nice place overall

John & Phoebe's place is a nice place to stay. It was straight-forward to find, quiet and well maintained. Accessing the property was easy from the instructions and there was plenty of on-site parking. The beds were comfortable and the shower was pretty decent. It had a spacious kitchen with everything we needed for cooking. The one down-side was there were quite a lot of ants in the property in many of the rooms, which was less than ideal. The host did apologise for this, but apparently it's an on-going problem, which would have been nice to know about in advance. Just a heads up. Other than that though, it was perfectly pleasant.

Excellent Stay

Fantastic location, great view across Hope farmlands to snow-covered mountains. Only 5 minutes to Richmond shops. At the same time, also secluded and very quiet. The Bach itself is very well appointed. Great fire. Rooms and beds very comfortable. Owner easy to contact, quick responses. Sheep and chickens a delight for kids. Highly recommended.

Everything we needed

The house is large with everything we needed. It was an added bonus having the fireplace (thanks for getting it ready for us). Shower pressure is fantastic and location is quiet enough to be away from it all yet only just down the road from Richmond City Centre. Will definitely stay again when in Nelson next time.
