Manuka Island Eco Cottage
This beautifully appointed self-contained luxury cottage, designed and constructed in environmentally friendly materials, is situated on what is technically an island on the edge of the Waimea Estuary only 20 minutes drive from Nelson city and Motueka.
The four acre Island is privately owned in what the Department of Conservation identifies as being one of the most highly significant areas in the Waimea Inlet. Whilst having easy drive on access, the island has a one kilometre long driveway through rural land which ensures total privacy. Manuka Island Eco Cottage is superbly furnished for style and comfort.
The cottage is spacious with indoor-outdoor living capturing all day sun. Manuka Island Eco Cottage which is purpose built, has amazing rural, mountains and sea views from every aspect. A highlight for many guests is identifying many of the special birds of the Waimea Inlet whilst sitting on the deck, relaxing in this special, natural environment with a glass of Nelson wine.

“I took your advice and sat on the deck last night amidst stars and birdsong. I can think of nothing better to melt away the stresses of a hectic day. My only regret is the short time I could stay in this beautiful oasis. My thanks for such a warm welcome and ambient accommodation.
