About this property

Peak View Retreat Nelson

Welcome to Peak View Retreat - the ultimate luxury accommodation in Nelson, perfect for romantic, couples getaways.

Unwind and experience peace like never before while you’re immersed in this spectacular natural environment. Enjoy crackling fireside cosy evenings, star gazing from the woodfired hot tub and working up a sweat in the sauna.

A luxurious two bedroom retreat surrounded by native bush. Situated on top of a mountain, this exclusive and private sanctuary ensures peacefulness from every angle.

Thoughtfully designed, Peak View was crafted using native timbers sourced from the land and milled on-site. Each of the two bedroom suites feature a private ensuite with relaxing bathtub.

The open-plan living area, with its expansive windows, offers uninterrupted views of the surrounding landscape in every direction. Take pleasure in gazing upon the native forest, the Richmond ranges, Pepin Island, Cable Bay, all the way to Abel Tasman National Park across the bay.

Whether you prefer unwinding or staying active, Peak View has something for everyone. Enjoy the selection of books, magazines, and board games, perhaps enjoy a sunrise yoga session on the deck and if it's a cosy rainy day watch a movie on the Apple TV.

Take leisurely strolls along the trails that wind through the native forest surrounding the property.

The entire home is exclusively yours to enjoy. We live on site and are available if there is something you need.

We are located in a semi remote location but only a 45 minute drive from Nelson and just over an hour from Blenheim. You need a vehicle to get here - we recommend an SUV / all wheel drive.

If flying there is an airport in Nelson and also Blenheim. It’s a great idea to stock up on food supplies upon landing, before driving out to the Retreat. The closest supermarkets are in Nelson.

We provide breakfast provisions on arrival, a welcome hamper with local gourmet treats and a generously stocked pantry with all basic items you may need.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Peak Experiences

Peak View The gracious host met us at the bridge and lead us 2-miles uphill, curving back and forth through forests and fields, and finally to the mountain top and Peak View home. Wow! As you open the front door the considered design of the spaces and furnishings is apparent and the 180° views will steal your heart. You’ll see the Tasman Bay, the adjacent nature reserve, the Abel Tasman Park in the distance, and the 200 private wooded acres that surround the home. Outside, a sweeping wrap-around deck offers 360° views of sunrises, sunsets, and stars, not to mention clouds and birds at eye-level. Back inside, the house has a lovely living and dining room and even a snug for TV watching. The first-level has a discreet powder room, and an open kitchen with handsome host-made barstools plus beautiful host-made ceramic plates and cups. Heading down the gracious spiral staircase to the lower floor, built partially into the mountain which keeps it cool and cozy, you’ll find a large naturally lit hallway that leads to the two small bedrooms that are nicely appointed with large comfortable beds and nice views. The two compact en-suite bathrooms are modern and stylish, but could use more counter space. For outdoor relaxation, there is a terrific wood-fired hot tub and the adjacent wood-fired sauna has a glass wall to take in the uninterrupted views. This awesome mountain top retreat, fully living up to its name, will gift you with innumerable and unforgettable peak experiences.

About the host

Hosted by Natalia

Host profile image
Carl and I moved to Nelson in 2018 when we bought what is now Peak View Retreat. We both work from home and love spending time in nature.
Carl likes hunting and fishing and I love making pottery, cold plunges & hiking with our two rescue dogs. We enjoy mountain biking, rock climbing, scuba diving and pretty much any adventurous outdoor activities.
Our long term goal is to be fully self sufficient on the land growing all our food.

Why they chose this property

Natalia grew up spending school holidays in Nelson and always dreamed of moving here one day. We slowly started looking for properties and we’d dreamed of building some sort of unique accommodation in a spectacular location together and running our business. When we saw this location and the views we were sold! Nat knew instantly this was the one, had to convince Carl and the bank, but everything just happened so smoothly and easily - it was meant to be!!!
Our long term goal is to live self sufficiently on the land growing everything we need.

What makes this property unique

The feeling of being on top of the world with both mountain and ocean views and just the sounds of birds and nature is unparalleled. This is a dream come true and a once in a lifetime opportunity!
