Muritai Manor is an imposing Edwardian colonial home, built in 1903. Whilst retaining the charm of many original features – spacious rooms, high ceilings, native timber floors and kauri fireplaces – this luxury b&b has been modernised to provide four comfortable in-house bedrooms (all en-suite) with free wireless Internet connections. For guests seeking a more private and independent escape, our Garden Room is separate from the main house and has a spacious sitting area with small kitchen. Muritai Manor is set in a semi-rural location but is only a few minutes away from Nelson’s buzzing café bars and restaurants. In the morning enjoy a delicious breakfast including eggs from our own free-range hens. Spend the day exploring the region’s three stunning National Parks, discovering fascinating art galleries and local wineries or simply enjoying our spa pool and solar heated swimming pool. In the evening join us for a complimentary glass of local wine.

The cottage in the garden has it’s own private entrance through French doors, which lead into a bright, sunny room with en-suite shower and relaxing sitting area. With the choice of super king or twin bedded configuration, a sofa bed gives this room the flexibility to accommodate an extra guest. This room looks out both onto the garden and the Nelson Haven. Outside is a large brick patio with table and seating. Being separate from the main house makes this a popular room with honeymooners and those who simply want a little extra privacy.
