About this property

Kikorangi Retreat "Delaware Bay Nelson Holiday Home"

Kikorangi Retreat is surrounded by a magnificent view of the water and picturesque nature. It's a perfect place for a memorable, relaxed and peaceful New Zealand experience. The singing of the birds in the morning can be your usual alarm. The constantly changing estuary views, established orchards & veggie gardens, & even a beautiful pocket of ancient coastal native bush will be your everyday sight.

Resident custodians living in a neighbouring cottage will make your stay even more special by sharing their local products (eggs, honey, fresh fruits & vegetables) as well as their knowledge of the area, local walks & activities & the eco-friendly environment.

A beautiful retreat
Our stay at Kikorangi Retreat was exactly that. A beautiful, restful, restorative retreat. The house and the bountiful grounds were lovely and peaceful and comfortable. And Carolyn was so gracious and welcoming, we felt we had come home. The two large bedrooms, plus sunroom and loft office, can accommodate most size groups. The kitchen is well appointed. The hot tub overlooking the bay was wonderful. A big unexpected plus was an excellent music system and a wide ranging music library. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Blissful
We couldn’t say enough wonderful things about our stay. Carolyn is charming. She and David made a beautiful dream come true with this property, from the stunning landscape and captivating views, to the inviting colour scheme and spacious light-filled rooms, to the impeccably appointed kitchen and soothing hot tub. We were in heaven and could have stayed much longer. Warm thanks

Paradise
We absolutely loved our stay in this beautiful home. We felt like we were a million miles away, so quiet and peaceful. The view of the water and greenery is spectacular, even when it rained, we were happy to relax and just enjoy the scenery. Although we did go to a cafe close by we spent all our time relaxing and enjoying the property, it has such a great energy. . Carolyn is a lovely host, we wished we'd spent more time with her. We're so looking forward to planning another trip. If you're considering a stay here, do it, the moment you walk through the door you'll understand why this home has so many great reviews.

The house is comfortable and beautiful. It had everything we needed and more. The location is outstanding with the most stunning views. And the host is the warmest, loveliest, most welcoming person you could ever wish for. We wouldn't change a thing. It was a perfect holiday. Thanks so much.

Relaxing retreat
As advertised. Wonderful retreat that feels like you are totally of the grid, but in reality only 20 minutes from Nelson. Interesting history of Cable and Delaware Bay adds to the stay.

Family paradise
It was amazing to be able to share in a little piece of family paradise with my own family. An amazing property with breathtaking views and an underlying sense of calm. No need to sightsee - you have everything you need here. Our cable bay time will never be forgotten.
