Relax in luxury in our beautiful self-contained studio-style cottage in its lovely, extensive and tranquil garden setting whence you can explore the Nelson-Tasman Region and local attractions including wineries, craft breweries, art galleries and craft centres, the Car Museum and its amazing classic cars; go horse riding, tramping, swimming, wind-surfing, kayaking around Abel Tasman NP, or biking the Great Taste Trail, etc. With views to Tasman Bay and Richmond Range foothills the cottage is just 5 minutes from central Richmond with mall, cafes/restaurants and a great library. We are 15 minutes to safe beaches, 20 minutes to central Nelson and less than an hour to beautiful Kaiteriteri, Abel Tasman National Park or Lake Rotoiti; Mapua and Motueka will take 20-30 minutes. Your hosts, Pat and Peter, handy across the way from your cottage, will be happy to help direct you to places and activities you can enjoy. The cottage provides a garden retreat where you can put your feet up to watch a favourite movie on TV or DVD or indulge in a glass of local wine whilst gazing upon the garden view to the tune of Tuis and Bellbirds, maybe a pheasant or two and our busy Quail families.
