KIA ORA

Welcome to

A unique Destination

with a pristine

beachfront setting

We welcome you to the Waters at the edge of our olive grove, just meters from the beach, and perfectly located to explore Nelson to the East, Abel Tasman and Kahurangi National Parks to the North, and the Vineyards of the Moutere to the West.

Location

The Waters is a luxurious boutique Bed & Breakfast dramatically set above the turquoise Tasman Bay in the heart of the Nelson Wine region on the South Island of New Zealand. This region and especially the Kina Peninsula where The Waters is located, is lucky to receive on average the most sunshine hours of the South Island and is called the ‚Provence of the Southern Hemisphere’. Vineyards and olive groves like the one at The Waters are conveying a mediterranean feeling.

The Suites are slightly elevated and only a few meters from the beach, which guarantees fantastic views of the Abel Tasman National Park – easily accessed for hiking or more adventurous trips.

The Waters Luxury B&B is thrilled to announce the installation of a brand-new swim spa, now available for guests staying in our four exclusive suites. This exciting addition enhances the relaxation and wellness experience for visitors seeking tranquility after a day of adventure in the stunning Abel Tasman National Park.

Guests can now unwind in tempered water while enjoying breathtaking views of the turquoise Tasman Sea and the Abel Tasman coastline. For those who prefer an active option, the swim spa offers the unique ability to swim against an adjustable current – perfect for training or as an alternative to open-sea swimming.

To elevate the experience, guests may indulge in a refreshing gin and tonic, including our signature gin crafted from grapes grown on the property, or savor local sparkling wine. During the shoulder season, the spa pool can be heated up to 40°C, thanks to an innovative electric cover, ensuring comfort year-round.

"A fantastic place to stay, a great place to relax. The hosts were great. We saw dolphins in the ocean right outside our room, which was very special. We can only recommend it."

"Incredible Property! We had such a wonderful stay at The Waters! We loved the setting along the Tasman Sea and enjoyed our beach walks. The property is beautifully appointed and immaculate. The back deck, which is situated on a lovely pond is so peaceful and has comfy seating. Our hosts Lou and Aiden were amazing. So warm and welcoming."

"Awesome trip, great hosts! This was by far the best stay during my entire New Zealand trip. From the moment I arrived, I felt completely at peace. The atmosphere is truly special. Waking up right next to the ocean is something you don’t experience every day. Falling asleep to the sound of the waves and starting the morning with a breathtaking sunrise over the water was simply unforgettable. The location is perfect for exploring Abel Tasman, yet it still feels wonderfully secluded and calm. Both sunrise and sunset were absolutely magical – the colors over the ocean are something I will remember for a long time. There is also a beautiful golf course just nearby with stunning views, which makes the stay even more special. The hosts are incredibly welcoming and provided so many practical and helpful tips for exploring the region, you immediately feel well taken care of. Everything was spotless, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully prepared. You can really feel the care and attention to detail. I would and will come back anytime and can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and unique coastal stay. Thanks for all! Marc"

"Not your ordinary B&B! Way above expectations. Lou and Aidan are just superb as attentive and caring hosts. The rooms are classy and spacious, the location next to the beach is breathtaking, and all with a feel of exclusivity and privacy that is special. The breakfasts are amazing and the suggestion of GK Eatery for dinner, priceless."
