Luxury B&B and self-contained accommodation in Nelson

Atholwood is a unique, luxury retreat offering you serenity in comfort and style.

Let the outside world melt away as you lose yourself in Atholwood’s stunning park-like setting and elegant accommodation.

Located in the heart of Nelson's apple growing region, Atholwood is the perfect place to relax and unwind. Wander through hidden pathways on the secluded 2.2 acres of landscaped gardens. Marvel in magnificent views of the Tasman bay and impressive mountains as you soak in the salt water pool or spa. Lavish in the well-appointed suites and apartments. You'll forget that the rest of the world even exists.

Following their vision to create an exclusive lodge which retains a feeling of warmth and home, new owners Sarah and Ian Cole extensively renovated Atholwood in 2007. Guests can choose to stay in the stunning B&B suites or sublime self-contained apartments, all offering the highest level of comfort.

Ideally situated between Nelson city and Abel Tasman National Park, you can easily take advantage of one of New Zealand’s most beautiful and sunniest provinces. Sample the area's rich culture with abounding local wineries, arts & crafts, and fine cuisine. Or experience Nelson's renowned outdoor lifestyle, with activities ranging from adventurous or tranquil. The staff at Atholwood is on hand to help, advise and book all your holiday needs.
