Kimeret Place, Mapua

About halfway between Nelson and Abel Tasman National Park near the northern tip of the South Island, you can find Kimeret Place, a small Bed & Breakfast. From the garden or from the pool you have a sweeping view over a tidal flat, orchards, and vineyards to the peaks of the Richmond Ranges. Kimeret Place is a perfect place for a few quiet days in the countryside or as a starting point for a trip to Abel Tasman National Park. The beach on Rabbit Island is not far away and for dinner you can drive to one of the towns in the vicinity.

Clare and Peter, who left England for a life in New Zealand, have been running this place for two years. With much attention for detail, they make your stay very comfortable and pleasurable. And they are always available for interesting conversations.
