Westhaven Retreat

Westhaven Retreat is an extraordinary, beautiful and tranquil place, on a 1,000 acre private and secluded peninsula. Easily located, Westhaven Retreat is just a three-hour drive by private transfer from Nelson Airport, or a short helicopter flight. Here, guests can relax amongst Nature in luxury and style. Westhaven Retreat is a haven of undiscovered wilderness, neighboring New Zealand's national parks and marine reserves, filled with fantastic rock formations, Nikau Rainforests and private beaches. The pure natural beauty and variety of scenery will leave you astounded.

The lodge itself, described as an architectural delight, was hand built by its owners. The lodge is exquisite in design, featuring pleasing decors, exposed timbers, soft color schemes and natural fibers. All rooms perfectly appointed to enjoy the endless panoramic views over the bay. The lodge has great facilities for your relaxation, from hydrotherapy spa, infrared sauna, 24-meter indoor swimming pool, massage, reflexology and beauty treatments.

This is a family operation where you will be made to feel at home, naturally!
