Te Koi Lodge Nelson

Te Koi is a beautiful luxury lodge in Bronte, on Nelson’s Waimea Estuary, approximately halfway between Nelson City and Abel Tasman National Park. It is just 25 minutes’ drive from both Nelson and Nelson Airport, making it a great base for exploring the best of the stunning northern end of the South Island.

Beautifully decorated in a European-inspired aesthetic, with calming neutral tones that complement the surrounding landscape, Te Koi is a relaxing luxury retreat and a great option for a romantic getaway for two. The lodge sits within the family-run Bronte Country Estate, with parkland gardens, a vineyard and apple orchards. Guests can also enjoy a heated swimming pool, tennis court, petanque, mountain bikes and canoes.

The communal heart of the lodge offers aperitifs at sunset on the deck overlooking the estuary, and fine dining in the evenings. A gourmet breakfast each morning is included in the nightly rate for all bookings. All meals feature locally sourced seasonal produce and artisan goods, paired with fine wines from the region.

Helicopter and boat trips can be arranged to explore the area in style, and the lodge has its own helipad.
