All the buses and shuttles to and from Abel Tasman National Park stop right opposite our front drive or you can take the fast boat directly from Port Nelson - with a good chance of seeing dolphins en-route. You can store your bikes or kayak in our double garage.

When our home was built in the latter part of the reign of Queen Victoria, it stood on the shore of Nelson's Haven, with Weka running up and down the strand.

Although crystal chandeliers hang from ceilings more than eleven feet high downstairs, we do have a new 21st Century hot water system, satellite dish, Broadband Internet and both our Blue and Rose Rooms have air-conditioning and en-suite facilities.

All our rooms are BIG - large enough for two Queen Beds and our Green Room is very good value for families and those willing to share a bathroom.
