Rooms
& Facilities:
We have five guest
bedrooms, each with en-suite bathroom
facilities, a guest dining room, guest lounge,
off-street parking, extensive gardens, solar
heated outdoor swimming pool and outdoor heated
spa (hot-tub).
To preserve the relaxing ambience of Muritai
Manor, guests must be over 12 years old. We
apologise if this is inconvenient for any
families.
Each bedroom offers:
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, sunny room with en-suite shower and
relaxing sitting area. This room looks out both
onto the garden and the Nelson Haven. Outside is
a large brick patio with table and seating.
Being separate from the main house makes this an
ideal room for honeymooners. Alternatively, an
additional single bed is available to
accommodate an extra guest.
Tasman
Room (Super King or Twin)
A
large sunny room with views on two sides, Tasman
overlooks the Nelson Haven, Tasman Bay & the
Western Ranges. The en-suite bathroom (with
shower over the bath) has original polished
timber floor & timber wall surround.
Rotoroa
Room (King)
A
light, spacious room with en-suite shower. It
overlooks the garden, swimming pool and sundeck
and has views on two sides looking out across
the Nelson Haven, the Western Ranges and
Wakapuaka Wildlife Reserve.
Brough
Room (Queen)
One of our two smaller rooms, Brough is a bright
restful room with an original coloured-glass
panelled door to the en-suite shower room.
Overlooking the garden, Nelson Haven can be seen
through the trees.
Buxton
Room (Queen)
Our other smaller room, Buxton has an en-suite
bathroom with shower over the bath. It overlooks
the swimming pool and sundeck, with views across
the Nelson Haven and Wakapuaka Wildlife Reserve.
Breakfast
is served in the Guest Dining Room and we use
local produce where possible. Nelson’s markets
are an excellent source of locally grown fruit
and vegetables. As well as fruit juices,
cereals, muesli, yoghurts, fresh and poached
fruits, preserves, homemade bread, a selection
of teas and speciality coffee, we also offer a
cooked breakfast. The choice varies from
day-to-day and includes traditional bacon, egg
and tomatoes, bratwurst sausage, blueberry
pancakes and orange French toast.
If you have any special requests or dietary
needs, please let us know and we shall do our
best to accommodate these.
After
breakfast you’ll probably want to explore the
many attractions that Nelson has to offer. On
your return, take a refreshing dip in our
solar-heated outdoor swimming pool, wind down in
the spa or simply relax on the sun deck, balcony
or in the Guest Lounge (and enjoy a
complimentary glass of sherry or port). A
telephone is available in the lounge for guest
use – local calls are free but toll calls are
chargeable.
For the comfort of our guests our home is
non-smoking in all rooms.
Set
in a semi-rural location, Muritai Manor is only
a few minutes drive from the city centre,
renowned for its eclectic Saturday Market,
buzzing café bars, restaurants and funky art
galleries.
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.
