About this property
The Kite - Laid-Back luxury beside the Abel Tasman
Welcome to Pemako Farm's "The Kite"... laid-back, modern, boutique accommodation purpose built for those desiring quality, luxury and seclusion only a few minutes from the start of New Zealand's most popular National Park.
Venture up the magical Marahau Valley to your own hidden sanctuary set amongst our 25 acre farm. The babbling waters of the Marahau River flow through the length of our farm and the shimmering hills of the Abel Tasman grace every vista. Wake to the singing of native birds, enjoy all the Abel Tasman National Park has to offer right on your doorstep, and unwind at the end of the day amidst the private, purpose-built surrounds of your own luxury villa.
Upon your arrival you will be greeted with a welcome basket featuring a selection of local nibbles and beverages, including locally made muesli for your morning breakfast.
It is our sincere pleasure to invite you to experience The Kite and we strive to do whatever it takes to offer you the best trip possible. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to accommodate special requests or needs you may have.
**Special conditions and notes**:
Our recommendation is to spend a minimum of three to four nights at the Kite, so you can truly take advantage of all the varied activities in the area, and feel refreshed for the rest of your NZ adventure.
One-night stays may be possible at a surcharge. Please make an inquiry and we will send a special offer.
The Kite is part of our STAY FOR GOOD programme. Five percent of all gross proceeds will be donated to charities in New Zealand and across the globe that focus on giving children a better life.
There is a small sealed ford crossing to arrive to the Kite. This access is generally accessible for all cars, as nearly all of our guests have small, 2 -wheel drive rental vehicles. The only exception to this is the very rare day or two per year in time of extreme flood.
**Cancellation and Compassionate Circumstances**:
- Please disregard the "Bookings at this property are non-refundable" information presented on this listing site.
- Cancel anytime up until 3 weeks before arrival for any reason and you'll pay no more than 20% of the booking total + VRBO/affiliate site fees.
Please refer the Rental Agreement for full details - this is provided for your agreement during the booking process. :-)

Hosted by Holiday Nelson

We are professional property managers - looking after visitors to Nelson is what we do :-)
We have a passion for the Nelson lifestyle and take great enjoyment from sharing the best of this experience with visitors to our region Like you, we love to travel and experience places first hand and we appreciate the value of having personal space, privacy and a comfortable retreat from the busyness of traveling each day. We also know that in order to really make the most of your travels, you need more than just a roof over your head. This is where we come in…
We have partnered with homeowners throughout our beautiful region, creating a hand-picked portfolio of very special homes that we offer and look after. These are homes we’d love to call home or holiday home ourselves, homes we are proud to offer to you for your stay in our region. When you book with us, you have our assurance that the homes will be as described and photographed and we’ll be there to provide you with all the support you need prior to and during your stay.
Professional housekeeping & Linen Laundering
At Holiday Nelson we take a thorough, robust and uncompromised approach toward cleanliness and hygiene practices for your and our families peace of mind... because nothing less will do.
All high contact, food preparation and hard wet surfaces are hygienically cleaned and sanitised and our linens are professionally laundered at 80ºC, with bed linens further ironed at 120ºC by one of New Zealand's leading laundry experts, leaving them crisp, clean & superbly comfortable!
Hoping to host you soon,
