The Pihopa Retreat is poised in a 5.5-acre garden park, a few minutes from the centre of Nelson City, flanked by prospering trees of more than 100 years while overlapping the Bishopdale Reserve. The park-like setting and isolation from the city centre make this retreat a nest of tranquillity and a haven for relaxation in a home away from home.
Access this hotel by taking a flight to Nelson Airport, where a transfer service brings you to the hotel in just 7 minutes at maximum.
Pihopa luxury enclave offers 6 thoughtfully appointed suites as relaxation dens for retreat seekers, with balconies to sit and gaze at the lush gardens, while amenities are exceptionally world-class.
