Best views in Nelson, Swimming Pool, Exceptional Cottage


Stunning hill top location with panoramic views of the ocean, mountains, vineyards and orchards. In a quiet rural setting of 40 acres at the end of a private drive. Great location from which to explore, between Richmond and Abel Tasman and just a short drive from historic Nelson city. It is private and self contained with friendly hosts on hand to help with local knowledge if needed.
Enjoy the beautiful swimming pool at any time, stunning views of the stars at night, read your book in a relaxing lounger. Fabulous garden and patios and multiple seating areas for sun and shade and unbeatable views of Tasman Bay and beyond.

Just minutes away is Rabbit Island with miles of golden beach, BBQ and shaded picnic areas. Mountain walks, river swims, wine tasting and the Great Taste Bike Trail are all on the doorstep. Three of the South Island’s iconic National Parks are within a day trip; take a boat trip on the pristine waters at Abel Tasman, or an alpine walk at Nelson Lakes or an adventure in untamed Kahurangi.

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.

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!
