Endearingly secluded colonial farm, which exudes warmth, charm and a feeling of time-gone-by, creating... ..One of Nelsons little secrets." Characterised by cottage gardens, orchards, Pinot vines, friendly hens,sheep & our NEW Lavender farm - enjoy the long tree lined entrance drive to the centre of the 10 acre ‘parcel’ of land. We provide two beautiful accommodation spaces. -Romantic Orchard studio is a wing of Quail farmhouse our family home. It has a feeling of absolute country luxury, super king bed with delicious soft crisp linen, cathedral ceilings, ensuite, cute kitchenette. -Lavender Cottage has layers of luxury in a bespoke long barn vibe, flexible two storey space to be enjoyed by a romantic couple. Each space has its own private out-door area positioned to enjoy the sun setting, each with soft seating, outdoor bath, chiminea, hammock and barbecue We do have wifi and 4G - BUT we encourage you to turn off your phone, and hide away for a while. You can choose to snooze, connect, get lost in a book, play croquet , take a dip in the pool, or soak your cares away in a hot vintage bath. Don’t worry, the world will keep on turning without you…
I am an easy going, social and respectful person, probably a bit quirky! A mother of three boys, which in itself has been a beautiful yet challenging journey at times, with the first son born with a very rare syndrome. I have a fascination with meeting new people and learning more of what makes our world tick. I’ve enjoyed being a New Zealander since 1993, while I grew up in a beautiful part Devon, England in a family tourism business. Since then I have owned restaurants, yes I'm a foodie! But my passion has moved to plants – I’ve loved working as a florist and in horticulture in recent years. I enjoy art, and my recent expression of that has been through drawing (where I met my lovely partner, Paul), pottery, soap and candle making. At last I’m accomplishing my dream of developing a lavender farm on this beautiful and unique character property here in Nelson. I’m able to follow my passions and accommodate people in the hope they carry on their own journey a little more refreshed and inspired.
