About this property
Vineyard Retreat near stunning Abel Tasman
Our Vineyard Retreat cottage is situated on 25 acres of private land which includes pasture, vegetable and flower gardens, an olive grove, hop garden and boutique vineyard with its own cellar Door.
It is the perfect base from which to explore the beautiful Abel Tasman National Park offering boat trips, kayaking, walking or a combination of all 3! Or you could just laze on the stunning beaches of Kaiteriteri and Marahau which are all just 10 minutes away by car.
The cycle trails are an exciting way to see the area, with the vineyard cottage only 1km away from the trail giving access to the Kaiteriteri Mountain Bike Park.
Takaka and the beautiful Golden Bay is only 1 hour drive away. Have a day out 'over the hill' in Hobbit land. Visit the limestone caves on the way!
The Riwaka Resurgence is where the northern branch of the Riwaka River emerges from the depths of the Takaka Hill and is just 7km away.
Venture 15 minutes drive into Motueka to discover great cafes and restaurants, movie theatres and local artists and fresh produce the Motueka region is reknowned for.
40 minutes further on is the city of Nelson, offering many attractions including the Museum, boutique shopping, great cafes, galleries and restaurants. A walk up to the Centre of NZ is a highlight.
The Nelson Lakes are an hour away, with beautiful all year-round activities.
Extras: Cleaning (Required, NZ$40.00 per stay); Linen (included); basic essentials included.

About the host
Hosted by Amber
We are a family of 4 living rurally after years living in big cities. We enjoy outdoor activities and being close to the beach, rivers and cycling tracks. We have chickens, pigs, ducks and occasional onsite sheep.
While we live on the property, the cottage is separate from the main house and there is plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy.
