The restored villa above Nelson
The hosts behind Kōwhai Lane
We restored this villa above Nelson to hold just three guest rooms, and we cook breakfast from our own garden every morning.
Our story
We restored this tired villa above Nelson for its good bones and its kitchen garden. Every breakfast here still begins with eggs from our hens and fruit from the orchard behind the house.
