About this property
Large country home with views - spa pool, swimming pool, firepit, games room
Large 4-bedroom house with stunning views and awesome outdoor entertaining areas.
Set in 6 acres of countryside, this home is built for relaxing. In the daytime, you can admire the views across to Rabbit Island and Nelson. Go for a swim in the resort-style pool, or catch the sun on one of the many decks.. Or perhaps just wander around the beautiful gardens, orange groves and paddocks. Kids (and fun-loving adults) will be kept entertained in the games room, with a pool table and darts board. Or head outside to the play on the trampoline, football pitch, or gym bars.
At night, gather round the firepit and toast marshmallows, while dinner cooks on the barbecue. Gaze at the stars as you have an evening soak in the spa pool. Admire the twinkling lights of Nelson city, or even jump back in the pool - because, guess what? It's got disco lights!
The home itself has multiple living areas, including two separate lounges, and a large open-plan kitchen/dining area. Upstairs there are three bedrooms, a bathroom and a separate toilet - the bathroom features a spa bath and luxurious rainhead shower. Downstairs is the fourth bedroom, games room and another bathroom, making the house suitable for large families or even multiple families.
Beautifully cool and breezy in summer, with French doors opening from nearly every room...but also warm and toasty in winter, with two woodburners and a heat pump.
Centrally located to all that Nelson and Tasman has to offer - including biking trails, beaches, wineries and National Parks. Just a 10-minute drive to Richmond or Rabbit Island, or 20 minutes to Nelson or Motueka.
Just a note, if you're booking for ten guests, a single bed will be set-up in the games room to accommodate.

Mel and Ben were amazing hosts, and their beautiful property was well equipped for our family's needs whilst on holiday. The location of their home was amazing, with only a twenty-minute drive to Kaiteriteri and an 8 minute drive to Mapua. The pool was inviting and we were very fortunate to have fantastic weather throughout our stay. Thank you Men & Ben for our wonderful stay.

Patrick and Judy were wonderful guests! They took great care of the house and left it beautifully clean and tidy. We're so glad they enjoyed their stay.
We loved staying at Mel’s place. It’s the perfect location to explore the region. The house had everything we needed and the pool was great, we even swam at night time to enjoy the pool lights! We would recommend to anyone. It would be an excellent place for families too.
Such a Beautiful home' we have loved staying here' we have been here twice over the years and will most definitely be back again for round 3 . It is so peaceful here and has beautiful views and extremely clean and tidy. The pool is fantastic and so is the new spa addition ' Also has a beautiful bath spa inside' we also enjoy. playing pool down stairs is a hit with the family every stay also. The hosts are fabulous people to deal with' this has been a 10/10 place to stay every time' highly recommend!!
Lovely property in a great location. Great place to unwind and relax whilst being a short drive from all the shops etc that you might need.
Lots of living areas so space for all.
We really loved staying with 3 generations in the house.
Had a really lovely stay. Place was a great size and the location was excellent. We'd definitely come back. Swimming pool and the outdoor firepit were total hits. Thanks so much!
This is the first property that was better than the photos. The morning vistas sitting outside having breakfast was just fantastic, but the night view of seeing the Nelson lights whilst we could relax with family over a few drinks was just magnificent.Then being able to swim in the pool and unwind in the hot tub is just an adventure in itself.
We absolutely loved our stay in Redwood Valley. The property exceeded our already high expectations and the owners did everything possible to make it an incredible stay. The place was spotless with lots of welcoming touches. With avid readers in the family the well stocked bookshelves were such a bonus. Couldn’t recommend it higher
This holiday escape is the place to be! Surrounded by nature, fruit trees, lush gardens, and young animals, the pool, the games room, walk-in shower and fire pit will provide all the luxury and relaxation if you choose to stay in!
Mel & Dan were beyond amazing with our family of 9, grandparents down to our young children, we were all catered to, and they made our stay (which needed to be lengthened at short notice) effortless, responding to any and all questions or communications we had on the spot.
We couldnt speak more highly of The Orange Grove! ...see you again soon!
