Clifftops Retreat is a new 1100 sq ft luxury cottage perched high on the cliffs near Nelson, overlooking sandy beaches, the glittering Tasman Sea and the sparkling lights of Nelson. It is a spectacular location.

This luxury jewel was architecturally designed and encompasses all the modern conveniences. The kitchen is fully stocked, while the lounge has a CD and Video player (and a great collection of CD's and videos) and Sky TV. You are very welcome to use the highspeed Internet in our house. The bathroom is a show stopper with it's shower only separated from the lush garden and pond by a glass wall.

A spa pool set right on the cliff edge offers you breathtaking views while the warm water relaxes and envelopes you.

This private and secluded villa, set in 5 park-like acres, caters for just two people. It is absolutely fully self-contained in every sense of the word. It has the luxury of a 5 star Lodge suite and is more then ideal for those discerning travelers who wish to be independent.

The cottage is designed for self-catering but the first class restaurants (only minutes away) provide plenty of options also. For the active traveler there are three National Parks nearby and the ocean provides plenty of opportunity for water sports. Relaxing garden, winery or crafts tours are also yours to enjoy.

We have over 20 years experience in the hospitality business having previously owned a luxury Lodge, so we like to think we fully understand the needs of our clientele.

Come and enjoy our stunning luxury accommodation in Nelson.

We are a small operator but we try to leave a limited footprint on our environment. We do collect rainwater of the roof of the cottage and the house and have a wastewater system which treats the water and makes it ideal to water the garden plants. The cottage is set in 5 acres of park like gardens with a huge variety of trees. Boardering the property is a native reserve and we do have regenerating bush on the property also. We encourage frogs on to the property by way of 4 ponds. Water of the cottage roof feeds the ponds. The garden is abundant with native and introduced birds. Last breeding season guest had the chance, while in the shower which overlooks the garden, to watch a fantail bring up their young. We recycle plastic and glass and paper and have a composting system for food scraps. We do grow some fruit and vegetables for our guests without the use of sprays. We are within an hour’s drive of three National Parks and we use local guides if guests wish to explore the area.
