WINDHOVER

The Waters

 

The Waters is a luxurious Bed &  Breakfast dramatically set above the turquoise Tasman Bay in the heart of the Nelson Wine region on the South Island of New Zealand. This region and especially the Kina Peninsula where The Waters is located, is lucky to receive on average the most sunshine hours of the South Island and is calles the “Provence of the Southern Hemisphere”. Vineyards and olive groves like the one at The Waters are conveying a mediterranean feeling. 

 

The Suites are slightly elevated and only a few meters from the beach, which guarantees fantastic views of the Abel Tasman National Park – easily accessed for hiking or more adventurous  trips.

On earth

there is no heaven,

but there are

pieces of it.

The Windhover Estate consists of an olive grove which produces about 3,000 litres of award winning, Gold Medal Extra Virgin Olive Oil, a vineyard planted with Grüner Veltliner, Villa Windhover and The Waters Boutique B+B with its Blue Beach Bach- all together on a 10 ha property and complimenting each other.

Here you will find a perfect place to stay, either absolute beachfront living or an elegant family vacation home with 180-degree views of the Tasman bay including a stunning seasonally heated pool.

This is a particularly quiet and peaceful property, surrounded by grounds on several levels, with the olive orchard, fruit trees, vineyard, an herb garden and mature trees.

In this small paradise the Flora and Fauna thrive, hence giving the property the name. A wild New Zealand hawk lives on the property and circles above the grapes – a natural protector of our harvest. “Windhover” is another name for the common hawk (Falco tinnunculus). The name refers to the bird’s ability to hover in midair while hunting prey.

So it happened, that while sitting there and watching ‘our Windhover’ we decided to name this beautiful piece of land ‘Windhover Estate’ and designed our logo, New Zealand style, to complete the story.
