Description from owner
Description
- Waterfront setting with wonderful views across the Waimea inlet to the mountains.
- Five acres of organic orchard and regenerating native bush to explore.
- 5 minutes to cafes, shops and galleries in Mapua village.
Karaka is a lovingly renovated 1950’s apple pickers’ cottage. A large covered verandah and private garden lead to the estuary shore. The outdoor bath is beautiful in the morning with the sun streaming through the trees, amazing on a clear night looking at the stars.
This is a perfect place to come back to after a day exploring the Nelson region. It is also a place to simply enjoy the tranquil environment with books, board games, barbecue, hammock, and endless views to gaze at. Wander around our five acres and choose your favourite quiet spot to read or snooze or have a picnic. There are paddle boards and kayaks which guests are free to use.The well equipped kitchen is great for making the most of the excellent fresh produce the Nelson region has to offer.
Good cellphone coverage and fast Wifi.
