Muritai Manor Nelson Bed and Breakfast

  • Details
Muritai Manor, your Nelson Bed and Breakfast, is a charming Edwardian villa, built in 1903, with expansive sea and mountain views. This one-time family home has spacious rooms, high ceilings, gleaming native timber floors and fine kauri fireplaces. Renovated in 1997, the four in-house guest bedrooms retain the ambience of yesterday while having modern facilities including en suite bathrooms and free wireless internet connections. The Garden Room (also with en suite) is nestled among shrubs and trees.

You will wake to the smell of coffee and a delicious breakfast which may include eggs, bacon, local bratwurst sausages, blueberry pancakes, homemade bread, and in summer: luscious Nelson berry-fruits. In the heat of the Summer, tangy sea breezes cool the house; on cold winter evenings, guests can enjoy a convivial glass of wine by a roaring fire.

Set in a semi-rural location, your Nelson, New Zealand accommodation is only a few minutes drive from the city centre, renowned for its eclectic Saturday Market, buzzing café bars, restaurants and funky art galleries.

Guests of this Nelson accommodation house enjoy memorable views across the sparkling waters of Nelson Haven, to the Boulder Bank and beyond to Tasman Bay with its backdrop of mountains. Muritai Manor Bed & Breakfast is conveniently located within reach of three National Parks and there are many things to do in this spectacular location: hiking, horse riding, sea kayaking, fishing and sailing and discovering art galleries and local wineries.

At Muritai Manor, you will return to a simpler era of splendid solid homes built from native timbers and surrounded with sprawling gardens full of oak trees, roses and camellias; as well as native trees such as the raffish New Zealand cabbage tree. At the end of your busy day, you can relax in the spa pool or cool off in the solar-heated swimming pool.

You will receive a very warm welcome to this Nelson B&B from your hosts Alex and Julia Hunter, who are happy to help you plan and arrange activities in and around Nelson.

The Garden Room (Super King or Twin)

The cottage in the garden has it's own private entrance through French doors, which lead into a bright, spacious room with en-suite shower. A small kitchen area allows you to prepare light meals as a change from dining out in Nelson's excellent restaurants. Outside is a large brick patio with table and seating. Being separate from the main house makes this an ideal room for honeymooners. Alternatively, the sofa bed can accommodate an extra guest. Gallery

Your Hosts – Alex & Julia Hunter

We are relatively recent arrivals in New Zealand, having moved here from the UK for a better quality of life. We have travelled extensively in Europe, North America, India, Malaysia, Southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand over the years and we decided that New Zealand was the place that we would most like to live – wonderful scenery, friendly people (and a pretty good rugby team).

Our plan was to run a B & B when we could find the place that was right for us. Our first base was Timaru, where Julia has relatives. We spent a lot of time looking around the South Island before deciding that Nelson, and Muritai Manor in particular, was the place we wanted to make our home, which we share with Melody, our cat. We have a small flock of pure breed hens, which are free to roam the gardens during the day and provide the delicious fresh eggs we serve at breakfast. We hope that you will enjoy staying here as much as we enjoy living here.
