About this Holiday House
Te Whare Rangi, a historic Victorian home dating back to 1858, provides a unique retreat with rich heritage, once the residence of renowned Nelson photographer William Tyree and former Mayor Edward Everett. The home boasts stunning views of Haulashore Island, which was formed by the new harbour entrance (The Cut) in 1906. Opposite The Cut, the Boulder Bank stretches 11 km to the north, while Tasman Bay and Abel Tasman National Park fill the central view. To the west, the dramatic Tasman and Arthur mountain ranges complete the picturesque scenery.
The Tasman Suite features a private, lockable room with its own small kitchen, washer, dryer, and multiple tables for dining or working. Guests also have access to several shared spaces on the second floor, including a well-equipped kitchen, a cozy living room, a delightful veranda, a small deck, and a brick patio with outdoor seating - perfect for relaxing and enjoying the serene surroundings.
The suite is equipped with modern amenities, including a Google Home Speaker, a Smart TV, and super-fast WiFi with unlimited data. Stream your favorite shows on Netflix, play music via Spotify, and take advantage of the digital baby grand piano. For added fun, bikes are also available for you to explore the local area.
For larger groups, Tasman Suite can be rented alongside Abel Abode to occupy the entire first floor. Te Whare Rangi offers other rooms like Puna Perch and Middle Earth, giving guests a range of accommodation options to fit their needs.
