Applewood - The Waimea Suite - luxury accommodation with amazing estuary views

This delightfully spacious luxury apartment offers breathtaking and ever changing views from panoramic windows over the beautiful Waimea Inlet and neighbouring mountains. Set in peaceful, mature parkland gardens, the Cowdrey Suite at Applewood borders the estuary. The inviting outdoor swimming pool sits close to the shoreline. The apartment has a modern and fully equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable lounge. There is a separate bedroom with large ensuite bathroom. On the many sunny days the outside balcony allows guests to enjoy meals outside.

Applewood is set in 2.2 acres of mature (mainly native) trees, shrubs and ferns. The first floor Cowdrey Suite is a luxurious home away from home. The King size bed has high thread count linens, duvet and memory foam pillows. Other useful items include a safe, iron and ironing board. The luxury tiled bathroom has underfloor heating, heated towel rail, mirror demister, hairdryer and quality organic toiletries.
The kitchen is equipped with a full oven, dishwasher, microwave, full size refrigerator, kettle toaster, cutlery, crockery, pots and pans, champagne flutes and wine glasses.
The lounge has a flat screen TV, DVD player and free WIFI (limited bandwidth) for guests. The heat pump will keep you warm in winter. The outside balcony has a breakfast table and chairs. There is a good selection of teas and ground coffee.

Guest access

Guests are invited to discover the hidden pathways, seating areas and gazebo in the extensive garden, listening to the birdsong in this peaceful place. The Waimea Estuary borders the property so that you can stroll down to our shoreline and jetty. And of course, the swimming pool (in season) is only meters from the estuary.

Interaction with guests

We are the proud owners of this beautiful property and our home is in the main house. The Cowdrey Suite is a completely independent apartment with its own entrance occupying a beautifully elevated position. You will be able to let yourself in and be at home if we are not around. On most occasions our very friendly Maremma dog will probably be there to greet you. We would like you to enjoy your privacy.

Other things to note

The Inlet is tidal and offers great opportunities for birdwatching and photography. The play of light as the tide covers the estuary is delightful.

All in all a great launching pad for this part of the South Island, so calm and peaceful. We are already planning our next trip!"

"This place was spectacular."

"Henriette's place provided spectacular views of the estuary. The place was surrounded by beautiful gardens. We spent most of our stay on the balcony looking at these views, listening to the birds. Everything about our stay was luxurious. We wish we could have stayed longer." (Esther, Airbnb)

"This is a stunning place. The apartment is beautiful with lovely touches throughout. The view is spectacular from the deck and the dock. The property is expansive with beautiful gardens. David and Henriette were gracious hosts. We only wish we had more time here." (Debra, Airbnb)

An outstanding self-contained appartment.
An oustanding self-contained clean and spacious appartment. All mod-cons with amazing outlook. We toured Fairwell Spit and walked in Abel Tasman Park. So now we know we will need to return to stop and chill-out in this amazing jewel at Bronte. Nearby Matua is a great place to shop and dine.

Luxurious, peaceful, paradise.
Beautiful location and views. Luxurious, very well equipped, spacious accommodation. Lovely owners who made us feel very welcome with little extra gifts of wine and chocolate and were happy for us to share all the facilities in the grounds of their fabulous property. Even though we had a couple of days with rain it didn't matter because it was so comfortable relaxing in the apartment with gorgeous views. Very sad to leave and could happily have stayed 2 weeks here. Mapua has good places to eat and we enjoyed the fact it was small and off the beaten track. Nelson and fabulous walks in Abel Tasman are around half an hour drive away so plenty to do and we certainly have lots more to explore if we are ever lucky enough to come back. Would highly recommend this property to everyone. Thank you so much to Henriette, David, Diane and the adorable dog Te A.
