Four king suites: Four couples, or one large family, each with a room of their own.

Perched right above Tahunanui Beach, Beachfront Retreat offers unmatched panoramic ocean views, privacy, and contemporary coastal living. Elevated high above the coastal road, this spacious, architectural home gives you a front-row seat to Nelson’s famous sunsets and vibrant beach activity, all from the comfort of a peaceful private sanctuary.

Uniquely designed for maximum privacy and comfort, this architectural home features four king bedrooms, each with its own private ensuite bathroom (plus a separate guest powder room). With two distinct living areas, a gourmet kitchen with a scullery, and expansive sun-drenched decks, it is the ideal layout for extended families, groups of couples, or corporate retreats.
