Full Description

Come join us and share in our healthy, sustainable, organic lifestyle.

We have just completed a gorgeous ecohome, on 9 acres just 10 minutes drive from Nelson.
Our home is completely self-sufficient...solar-powered and heated, harvesting rainwater, LED lighting, grey water system, composting toilet.  It is built predominantly of sustainably-harvested, recyclable, recycled, and local materials.
The interior is finished using only solid wood, no pressed board or plywood anywhere, and is furnished with the most natural, sustainable furnishings and textiles, as well as fair trade items.  We feed our waste to the worms and use it in our organic gardens.

We take healthy, sustainable and organic very seriously, down to the smallest detail.  We hope to inspire you, as well as help you feel at home, relaxed, and without a care.  You will be pampered on organic mattresses and bedding, and if desired, there are organic vegetarian meals designed to your needs and preferances.

Come visit our healthy sanctuary, away from the cares of the world.  Relax and Retreat...or let us show you the stunning sites nearby.  We can link you with the finest healers, massage therapists, yoga, or whatever you desire...how about a sacred journey? 

Come for adventure...or healing. 

We offer our guest bedroom as a b&b.  The room has gorgeous views, much light, and its own entrance opening onto a deck with views to the West and Mt Arthur across the Tasman Bay, as well as to the North and the Tasman Sea.  There is a double bed with an organic mattress and organic sheets and duvet, a large window seat (almost twin size organic futon) and a shared bath (with just the host...the compost toilet is in its own room, as well as the shower/tub overlooking the view... sharing is easy) B&b includes a delicious all organic breakfast, usually homemade muesli, yoghurt, and fruits of the season...plus organic coffee or tea.  In cooler weather, a hot breakfast can be provided.  Lunch and dinner are also available, upon request.  (We are beginning to get known for our food...always fresh from local organic sources...we can include fish if you like, otherwise all vegetarian.  We  cater to any dietary needs so don't hesitate to ask.)

The entire house can sometimes be rented as well.  Additionally,  a small cottage is occasionally available.  Please enquire.

We look forward to sharing with you our home and lifestyle, which is the ultimate in healthy, eco, and organic!
