Wow, Sean & I have just viewed your finished project - Copper Gate. You've done an amazing job completing this; you should be very proud of yourselves especially considering the timeframe you had. Love, love, love the artwork. Stunning outlook, beautiful kitchen, great living spaces, & especially love the pohutukawa duvets. Fantastic outcome indeed!

What an amazing space you have created at Corru Gate and Copper Gate. The kids loved visiting the sheep and picking fruit – we could really get used to eating grapefruit for breakfast every morning. Your eco features (the PVs, Biolytix, super-insulation etc) are fascinating, but most of all we enjoyed the country views down the valley and out to sea.

There’s something very ‘organic’ about this region….
The ‘baaing’ sheep, beautiful birdsong, Pohutukawa trees in flower on the beach, Creative arts that inspire and open the wallet, Your wonderful holiday home so creatively designed and child-friendly. Not to mention the local attractions as recommended in the wonderful ‘black book’. Look forward to returning. K &B, Christchurch.

Copper Gate is themed around heritage NZ domestic life yet has state-of-the-art eco features. With 2 bathrooms and 4 bedrooms it is ideal for 2 families - or if you are a couple/small group just have sole occupancy for a reduced rate in the quiet season. Commanding a stunning view across beautiful Seaton Valley to the sea and mountains beyond, Copper Gate features local/NZ art and French doors opening onto decks and SPACE. A Hybrid Homes and Living design, Copper Gate boasts solar design, locally sourced preservative-free Douglas Fir, great insulation, LEDs throughout, state-of-the-art Biolytix wastewater system and is powered by Nelson's sun through grid-tied photovoltaics.
Corru Gate is stylish and different. City chic meets country style in this architecturally designed, children-friendly 3 bedroomed contemporary lifestyle cottage. With excellent passive solar design and recycled materials it embodies a distinctively creative Kiwi flavour - iconic corrugated iron, quality furniture and local/NZ art. French doors open onto a sun-drenched deck and private designer garden.
Kissing Gate is our new glamping (glamorous camping) site with 'Pearl' and 'Ruby' our refurbished 1967 retro caravans with outdoor bath, shower, kitchen, decks, pond - and true wow factor!
Wander over our paddocks, admiring the magnificent Tasman Bay views while the kids enjoy the playground, waterslide and treehut. 4 minutes to great beaches and rivers. We are passionate about conservation and sustainability (Roger is an environmental sustainability advisor) and relish the birdlife and native trees of this slice of paradise.
Set in cycling heaven amongst quiet country roads winding through olive groves and vineyards, there is ample room for cycles – use our electric or standard bikes plus trailer. Tour maps available for exploring from the farm gate.
Copper Gate celebrates style, sustainability, socialising and seclusion.
