About River Walk Cottage

A Charming Riverside Retreat -

Nestled alongside the picturesque Maitai River in Nelson, New Zealand, this fully restored circa-1956 cottage offers a secluded yet convenient escape and a wonderful base from which to enjoy all our beautiful region has to offer.

Experience modern comfort enriched by the charm and character that can only come from the patina of time - Rustic timber floorboards, mid-century furniture, vintage materials, styling & practicality, rejuvenated & ready to add something unique and special in a World that can sometimes seem a little too 'cookie-cutter'.

The cottage features a newly renovated open-plan kitchen with convenient amenities such as a pull-out pantry, freestanding oven, dishwasher, and fridge with an ice-maker. Stay connected with the office nook equipped for remote work and enjoy complimentary high-speed dedicated WiFi throughout.

Unwind in the living area with views of the deck, garden, and hills beyond, cozy up on Winter nights in front of the wood-burner fire, read a book or stream your favorite movies on the SmartTV. The bedroom, adorned with quality bed linen and electric blankets, overlooks the tranquil garden, while the separate dressing room provides a handy space for changing and storage.

Indulge in a rejuvenating soak in the deep 'soaker' bath, or refresh in the separate shower supplied with continuous-flow gas hot water.

Set back behind the privacy of the river stopbanks, private steps from the property grant direct access to the Maitai River Walk, offering peaceful strolls along the river or a leisurely journey into the city where you'll find great coffee & food, markets, galleries and more.

Whether you're seeking cultural exploration and dining experiences in Nelson or simply craving tranquility in a secluded natural setting, River Walk Cottage is the perfect escape and well-suited to couples or singles alike...

Private steps lead you over the river stop-bank to the Maitai River Walkway. You'll be close to the city here - with its shopping, markets, restaurants and cafes, and equally close to Nelson's wonderful walking and mountain-biking trails.

Make sure to visit the Maitai Damn, ride the Coppermine Saddle, walk the Centre of New Zealand & to explore the river walkway extensively. Rutherford Park & Queens Gardens along with the lower river walkway outdoor gallery are high on our list of recommendations!

  • I loved this home so much that I extended my stay in Nelson for 3 more days! A very private and peaceful location, while still being a few minutes drive into the center of town. The home has everything you need for a comfortable stay, as well as impeccable art and furnishings. I loved opening the windows and doors to let the breeze in while reading or watching a movie. One of the most relaxing homes I’ve stayed in throughout my 3 week holiday!

  • Wonderful little spot that we enjoyed a glorious 4 days in. The location is slightly out of town but only a 25 minute walk away. That said, access to the trails and greenery surrounding Nelson is instantaneous as a result. The property is perfect for 2 people, and is equipped to a standard that you could live in it! Bath and wood burning stove were the highlights

  • River Walk Cottage is a new listing, first available late April 2024! With its unique charm & locations we very much look forward to welcoming our first guests here!
