About Appleby House & Rabbit Island Huts

A holiday property on 25 acres of Waimea Plains land at 305 Redwood Road on Rabbit Island, near Nelson, with views of the mountains, the Richmond Ranges and the Waimea Estuary. The website calls it an oasis of calm and says it suits whole-property bookings, weddings, corporate retreats, photo shoots and private stays. Fire pits and outdoor fireplaces are available for guests, and there are two kitchens. Guests can use designated parking, and the website says parking is not allowed on the main lawn or behind the lounge. Roads are shared and speed is limited to walking pace. The website notes that water depends on a pump, and that parties need prior arrangement. Rabbit Island beach is at the end of the road. A recent guest described it as a peaceful stay that was easy to find off Route 6 from Richmond to Motueka. The website says rates include GST and are in New Zealand dollars.
