The Rock is a traditional Kiwi residence, created for hospitality and entertainment with contrasting areas for relaxation and entertainment, and all designed for harmony with any weather, all seasons and every time of day. On the ground floor, an intimate terrace adjoins the Wellness Suite, the large games room and the cinema room. On the first floor, an apartment-style living area leads to a sun-soaked rear terrace with spectacular views across the Tasman Bay and beyond. The Rock is a luxurious property exuding Kiwi charm blended with Monaco chic, and the main residence can be configured to provide up to six double bedrooms. The Beach Cottage offers additional intimate accommodation. Versatility is at the heart of The Rock design, and the three-car Motor Gallery is also a Games Room adjoining the Wellness Suite. The large Barn provides further garaging, storage plus a workshop alongside of which is the log store and a touch of Kiwi history. The sleep out” was originally located closer to the sea and was a holiday ‘perk’ provided by the owners of Nelson’s famous Griffins Biscuit Factory. The feature which really sets The Rock apart from any other residence in Kaiteriteri, or indeed the entire Tasman Bay area, is the beach garden, a short stroll or golf buggy drive, below the main residence. Featuring an Italian-style pizza van, the delightful Beach Cottage and storage for kayaks, paddle boards, dinghies, and the Rock’s six-person hovercraft, perfect for exciting adventures at low tide, the one acre of private and secluded grounds border the sea and the tranquil beach overlooking Champagne Rock. This is a private and very personal space to party or maybe just chill and bond with the abundant birdlife, the seals and the dolphins for whom the Bay is also home. The Rock enjoys a tranquil setting yet is just a short drive or cycle ride to the legendary attractions and activities of Kaiteriteri, widely known as the 'Gateway to the Abel Tasman National Park’. The area is famed for its range of activities from stand-up paddle boarding to kayaking, from sailing and wildlife cruising, to hitting the mountain bike trails.
