The retreat was very well laid out , quiet and many luxuries. Only stayed 1 night so couldn’t make use of the pool. But otherwise the bed was comfortable. Breakfast amazing especially to have it in a church.

It’s hard to describe in words. You just need to experience how amazing the place, people and area. Plenty space for family of 4. Fantastic view of sunrise, a stone throw away from the beach, next to where the ferry ride to Abel Tasman and next to Waterfront restaurant which by the way had excellent service and food! What do you need more?

Nelson is my favorite place to go to.

Nelson is my favorite place to go to. I traveled up from Christchurch to collect a new car and was able to spend the day and night wandering around the city. My go to place is the Cathedral, steeped in history and with stunning really old trees. Lit two candles for my loved ones, gave a donation for the beautiful buildings' upkeep and soak up the spiritual atmosphere. Able to sit on the grass under a Black gum which was huge, relax and enjoy the smell of the pines. Fabulous food trucks and cafes. Easy to walk around, just a fabulous place. I would highly recommend it.

You go to Kaiteriteri for the awesome views, beach and water. There is good walking/hiking paths nearby. It was not overly crowded at the beginning of March but the water was still swimmable. Very close to Abel Tasman which is great.

We arrived in Marahau in order to walk on the Abel Tasman track. It is a small township, and we enjoyed walking down to the bay for the sunset. We had chosen the Aqua taxi to transport us up to the start of our walk, and enjoyed the efficiency and novelty of that experience. Just a warning to other travellers, By mid May, the little township is settling in for the ‘off’ season, which means that there are fewer grocery and eating options. We had been forewarned and had collected groceries at Motueka.

Takaka is a fantastic location that gives good access to beaches all around the area, and the lovely Pupu Springs and Farwell Spit. The people in the town were lovely and friendly. We had the best vegetarian burgers, even better than our Ferg burgers from Queenstown! We all felt so safe and just enjoyed our time there. The drive over the Takaka Hill was a great experience, both in the misty rain and in beautiful sunshine.

Collingwood and out lying areas have some spectacular scenery with very unique environments not found in other places of the world. If you want to learn some history about early NZ, this little place has bits of information signposted everywhere so forget about guessing who found the place or what kept the inhabitants there. Even the journey there from Nelson was interesting with multiple towns and side trips like Mapua, the entrance to the Abel Tasman Track, Kaiteriteri Beach, Pohara and Waipupu Springs walk which was wonderful, just to mention a couple of things we did.
