Te Whare Rangi, a historic Victorian home dating back to 1858, provides a unique retreat with rich heritage, once the residence of renowned Nelson photographer William Tyree and former Mayor Edward Everett. The home boasts stunning views of Haulashore Island, which was formed by the new harbour entrance (The Cut) in 1906. Opposite The Cut, the Boulder Bank stretches 11 km to the north, while Tasman Bay and Abel Tasman National Park fill the central view. To the west, the dramatic Tasman and Arthur mountain ranges complete the picturesque scenery. Abel Abode features a private, lockable room with a delightful garden view, creating a peaceful ambiance. While it may not offer the expansive views of some other rooms, its convenience is a standout feature. Guests can enjoy the amenities of the second-floor kitchen, cozy living room, and veranda. For added ease, a mini-fridge is provided in the room, and the second-floor spaces invite you to relax and dine outdoors or savor the serene surroundings from the veranda or garden area. Enjoy modern amenities, including a Google Home Speaker, a Smart TV with Netflix, and super-fast WiFi with unlimited data. For music lovers, there's a digital baby grand piano. Plus, bikes are available for you to explore the area during your stay. For larger groups, Abel Abode can be rented alongside Tasman Suite to occupy the entire first floor.
