Waimea Inlet is the largest estuary in the South Island. Rich in food resources it was coveted by Maori; 33 archaeological sites are known from its shores. Despite its modification, the estuary is considered to be of outstanding biological importance; the abundance of food attracts large numbers of fish; 50 species of wading birds have been recorded and there are rare plants and a carabid beetle found only at Tahunanui Beach.
There are a number of great viewing points of the wading birds in the estuary, but Bronte Peninsular would have to be one of the best. You don’t even have to leave the comfort of your luxury waterfront suite or villa to view these birds as they feed in front of your accommodation.

The Nelson region being one of the oldest populated areas in New Zealand showcases many mature exotic trees – some over 100 years old from around the world. The great fall weather experienced in the Nelson area allows the autumn colours to be captured to its full extent until the colder and more unsettled weather of June arrives.
