'Tasman Suite - Te Whare Rangi' Self-Contained Room in Nelson Waterfront
Te Whare Rangi, a historic Victorian home dating back to 1858, offers a unique retreat with rich heritage. Once home to renowned Nelson photographer William Tyree and former Mayor Edward Everett, it provides stunning views of Haulashore Island, the Boulder Bank, Tasman Bay, Abel Tasman National Park, and the Tasman and Arthur mountain ranges.
The Tasman Suite is one of the private room in Te Whare Rangi with a small kitchen, washer, dryer, and dining/work tables. Guests also have access to shared spaces on the first floor, including a well-equipped kitchen, cozy living room, veranda, small deck, and brick patio with outdoor seating.
Modern amenities in the suite feature a Google Home Speaker, Smart TV, super-fast WiFi, Netflix, Spotify, and a digital baby grand piano.
For larger groups, Tasman Suite can be rented alongside Abel Abode to occupy the entire ground floor. Te Whare Rangi offers other rooms like Puna Perch and Middle Earth, giving guests a range of accommodation options to fit their needs.

Why they chose this property
Located in Britannia Heights which is 2.2 km (1.4 mi) away from the Nelson town center. Beautiful Tahunanui beach is only 1.8 km (1.1 mi) away and a lovely walk along the waterfront. Abel Tasman National Park is very accessible, allowing you to do a day hike and return the same day. The entry point is Kaiteriteri, about 60 km or a 1 hour drive away.
The renowned waterfront dining strip is than a 10 minute walk away and features Harbour Light Bistro, The Styx Kitchen Bar, Nahm Thai, The Boathouse Society (a local secret) and the renowned Boat Shed Café. You’ll also find Haven Fish & Chips and, for an awesome range of fresh raw seafood, Guytons.
