⭐️ Inclusions
• Kina Retreat will be presented with beds made, ready for your stay.
• A personal meet & greet service, on-call property manager, all utilities, linens & towels, use of property amenities including the pool, WiFi, pantry & sanitary basics, weekly &/or departure linen and housekeeping will be included in your booking.
⭐️ Booking Conditions & Notes
• No parties, no venue use, no smoking inside, no pets, no guests that do not form part of the booking. A refundable bond is required. Please view our Terms & Conditions.
• Private holiday home - This home is a personal holiday home. The home is extremely well equipped and presented as photographed, however, some of the owner's personal belongings will remain at the home in wardrobes, pantries etc. While very little is sacrificed in terms of the 'guest experience', this aspect has been factored into pricing, providing you with incredible value relative to similar properties around the country.
• Swimming pool - This pool is solar heated. Solar heating is generally effective in Nelson-Tasman between December and April, when the weather is warmer and the days are longer. Water temperature will of course be subject to actual weather conditions. Outside of the 'swimming months', the solar system is ineffective and will not be operated. Cold water swimming will of course be possible - please let us know if you intend to swim during this time and we'll have the pool serviced prior to your arrival.
• Rural area - Kina Retreat is located in a rural area with mains power, tank water and rural broadband internet. 99% of the time these services will run perfectly, but the rural nature of the property can occasionally mean that some patience and understanding is necessary.
⭐️ Check-in is possible anytime after 3pm.
• Early check-in (1pm and in some cases earlier) can usually be offered for an additional charge. Please request this at the time of booking or at least 24 hours prior to your arrival.
⭐️ Check-out should be completed by 10am.
• Late departure is not generally available here due to the servicing timeframes of such a large property.
• You may consider booking an additional night if a late departure is desired.

We had major problems here.
We had major problems here. The property is magnificent but the management is shoddy. Cleaning needs addressing. Floors and windows dirty. Pool was dirty and unheated, despite advertising that it was heated. Wifi didn’t work, Sonos sound system didn’t work. Correspondence (privately) over three weeks to address these issues resulted in a vague offer of a 20% discount on some future rental. Sorry. When I am paying $1500 a night I expect way more than this.

Kina Retreat is an absolutely beautiful property, great for large family groups with kids.
Kina Retreat is an absolutely beautiful property, great for large family groups with kids. We had a total of 3 families, with 6 adults and 7 kids, and we had a blast, running around the large gardens, lazing in the hammocks or swimming on the sunny days. The view across the Tasman Bay is absolutely stunning. The property is a short drive from supermarkets at Motueka, as well as multiple wineries, fruit farms and other attractions.
