WOW! What an amazingly beautiful piece of paradise! We were warmly greeted by Daniel who showed us to our shoreline suite and what breath taking views of the water which is only metres away from our front door! We walked through their beautiful gardens to the heated swimming pool which was lovely and secluded. Daniel was very knowledgeable about the... More

We stayed 6 nights. We had a fantastic time. The accomodations (villas) are spread throughout the extensive property, with views across the harbour - wading birds. We had a quail family visit us each morning and evening, feeding on our lawn and only a few meters from us in our lounge. Accomodation is excellent, and the whole atmosphere is quiet... More

We ended our two week tour of the south island with four nights at Bronte and couldn't have asked for a better end to our holiday. Despite three days of rain we, with our three young children, had a wonderful time in the luxury of Te Koi. On arrival Daniel warmly welcomed us and showed us round the beautifully decorated... More

We stayed at Bronte Country Estate as part of our wonderful 3 week tour of the South Island and this was, without a doubt, the most memorable place we stayed. A very warm welcome from Daniel as we arrived and we were shown to our fantastic suite overlooking the estuary. The room was very stylishly decorated and exceptionally clean with... More

It was mazing experience to stayed at Bronte in a two bedroom self contained villa called Te Koi. Excellent service, very friendly staff. Great New Zealand hospitality in a wonderful setting. I highly recommend this property as we have stayed in many luxury properties in New Zealand and this was the best!! More

I don't often comment in public forums, however I feel inspired to write this review. The sunrise over the estuary on the first morning of my stay was one of the best I've ever seen and in one of the most beautiful settings. My accommodations were truly superb. The attention to detail and service was second to none. I can... More

Loved the location (about halfway in between Nelson and the Abel Tasman National Park), loved the setting overlooking the water, and Daniel's service is second to none in New Zealand. I was staying there on business and it made for the perfect retreat away from the conference I had to attend in Nelson. Will be coming back with the wife... More

I'm pleased you enjoyed staying with us, and its nice to see clients staying out in the country a little when they are in Nelson for business. Next time when you book, I'll make sure there is a special bottle of bubbles in the room for you both. Thanks, Daniel More
