Listing highlights

Dive right in

This is one of the few places in the area with a pool.
Verdant green native bush surroundings with exotic native bird call lend a real retreat feel to this property. Find your inner peace, or enjoy run after run down the mtb jump track, or visit the hens and pet the cats. It's all here! We specialise in tourism and can share travel hints for the region, especially having to do with biking...

The space
Couples or families, we are here for you. It's ideal that you arrive by car, as town is 20 minutes' drive away. There is ample parking in front of the guesthouse. The setting is quiet and rural, up a stunning valley surrounded by macrocarpa forests. The luxury accommodation features two queen bedrooms plus a small couch that could suit a child. We provide plunger coffee, tea, cereal, bread, butter, milk and farm-fresh eggs to get you off to a good start on day one. Let us know whether you have any dietary preferences!

Guest access
Our wee splash pool is open from about December - April, depending on the weather.

Other things to note
Nelson, New Zealand is known for its sunshine, golden beaches, close-by National Parks, boutique wineries and microbreweries.

Nelson is also world-class mountain biking destination! We work in the industry and have lots of insider tips to share if your stay with us includes mountain biking! We live about thisclose to Cable Bay Adventure Park and about 22 minutes from Andrews Field, where the Codgers Mountain Bike trails are.

Because our location is rural, we do recommend that you provision in town before heading our way. We provide basic supplies like coffee, tea, herbal tea, milk, butter, bread, muesli and farm-fresh eggs (when available!). Cheers!
