Te Koi is nestled in a beautiful garden setting on the edge of the Bronte Peninsula, just a 30-minute drive from Nelson and a 45-minute drive from Abel Tasman National Park. Here you will find a luxury accommodation with wonderful water and mountain views and a tranquil natural setting.
At the property, there are purpose-built villas and suites that are privately set among trees beside the water’s edge. All have a large comfortable bed, a spacious lounge area, air conditioning, a walk-in shower, and tea and coffee making facilities.
OUR OPINION:
A classically elegant property overlooking the Waimea estuary, with a welcoming and relaxing atmosphere.
