For those wanting more privacy 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 National Parks, discovering art galleries and local wineries or simply enjoying our spa pool and solar heated swimming pool.

Nelson
Location
Situated around Tasman and Golden Bays at the top of the South Island, the Nelson region is surrounded by sheltering mountain ranges, giving it a Mediterranean-type climate.
General
Nelson is known for its year-round sun, golden beaches, three national parks, 350 working artists, boutique wineries and the city for its historical streetscapes, waterfront cafes, fresh seafood, and a thoroughly relaxed lifestyle.
Nelson (population 52,000), named after Admiral Lord Nelson of Battle of Trafalgar fame, is the main commercial centre for the region, whose main industries are forestry, horticulture, fishing and tourism.
Main Attractions / Activities
Nelson's artists include carvers, glassblowers, painters, potters and weavers, whose work can be seen by following any of the 13 craft trails that also take in Nelson's most attractive rural settlements.
Within the sheltering confines of Tasman Bay, Nelson's beaches are safe, with silvery sand. Tahunanui Beach, within the city boundaries has the largest and best-equipped holiday park in the country as well as b&b, hotel and farmstay accommodation. Only the West Coast has as many national parks as Nelson. Abel Tasman, New Zealand's smallest, is a coastal wonderland of sea, sky, rocky headlands and bright golden beaches. The Nelson Lakes National Park is set amidst the mountains and glaciated valleys of south Nelson, and features beech forests and the beautiful jewel-like lakes, Rotoiti and Rotoroa. Kahurangi, the country's second-largest national park comprises 450,000ha of mostly upland wilderness, with magnificent three to four-day hiking trails.
