Garden House Kina has its own Farm Shop and Cafe, this is quietly tucked away out of sight, a 2 minute walk from the accommodation. All is located in the beautiful countryside of the Tasman region, sitting amongst acres of rolling grassland, our own olive groves and garden. Kina is home to the best local vineyards, three within walking distance. These include Kina Beach Vineyard our favorite, next door. Kina Cliffs just beyond, accessed off the walk to the golf course, and Blackenbrook wines behind Tasman village
Kina Beach is also a popular place for visitors to the area, perfect for long walks and early horizon sunrises. The water is warm and safe to swim, with snapper an easy catch for the keen fisher. The estuary located across the road from the property is calm and graceful, lovely for launching our kayaks or the more exciting water sports, If you bring a boat, at the far end is a slipway, to access the ocean or the popular waterski area.
Cycling is a major activity, either on the Taste Tasman Trail which links us with Nelson to the East and Kaiteriteri to the West. Both easy riding on mostly flat tracks There are also some of the best Mountain Biking tracks in the country within 30 mins of here.
Embrace the sleek, Scandinavian luxury of our recently renovated studio. The touches of greenery help our guests relax and feel immersed within nature. The studio is fitted out with a queen bed for 2 people but an extra person may be accommodated on a sofa bed or even a couple of kids that don’t mind sharing.
Enjoy our fresh organic seasonal range of homegrown vegetables and fruits as available, on request at modest charge. Drink your delicious complimentary bottle of Kina Beach wine, while enjoying the beautiful sunsets across the Western Ranges. During the day take a stroll around the olive grove and find yourself in company of our native Fantails, or sit under the pergola and watch the feeding Tui's.
