Property Location
Wairepo House at Mariri in the heart of the Nelson region's rural hinterland. Close enough to the Moutere Inlet to enjoy its tidal changes and wading birds, while the view from the lodge takes in the broad sweeping waters of Tasman Bay. You'll find Wairepo a pleasant 40 minute drive from Nelson city. By Air, Nelson airport is well served with flights from New Zealand's domestic airlines. A helipad on a neighbouring property is available to our guests by arrangement.
