About this property

Hawk's Ridge - Redwood Valley

This newly completed, self-contained accommodation unit has been built to the highest specifications, is separate from the hosts villa and set amongst 40 acres of rolling farmland and rural forest.

The position of this property overlooks Mapua and Tasman Bay, with views over Richmond and the Richmond ranges on one side with the Western ranges to the other. You will be able to enjoy the complete quietness, only interrupted by native birdsong and watch the hawk's soar over the ridges below you, from which this property gets its name. There is only one accommodation unit available so you will not be sharing your stay with other guests.
All this is in a central location which enables you access to Mapua,(15min) Rabbit Island’s safe sandy beaches,(10min) Richmond,(15min) Nelson(25min) and the start of the Abel Tasman National Park,(40min). Nelson Lakes National Park, which boasts ski fields and good alpine trout fishing rivers, are less than an hour to the south.
The property is accessed by a private gravelled driveway off Redwood Valley Road. It is always a good idea to contact us prior to arrival, to arrange to have us meet you at this point or another suitable location. This will ensure you find us quickly and easily.

Special hideaway
From the greeting, to the wonderful accomodation, you knew that you were a guest, not a customer. Mary & Paul provide everything that you need for a comfortable and relaxing stay. Great views from the deck and a walk around the farm highlight what a special place they have. We will be back.

Two couples from Norway have enjoyed 20 days in this beautiful modern house in wonderful surroundings. We received excellent support and travel guidance from the hospital landlords Mary and Paul. We highly recommend this placement.

A definite 5 star plus
A gorgeous, spacious and very comfortable unit in stunning scenery with wonderful views. Paul and Mary are warm and friendly hosts and also most informative and hospitable ( this includes Mary's baking and jams and Paul's excellent tour of their garden and land). This must be one of the best places to spend time in NZ.

Fantastic property, Fantastic hosts
Amazing peaceful and well located property with fantastic friendly hosts. The property was great and Paul and Mary were great hosts from the small touches of there being various essential foods (and home baked cookies) to the great and clear communication. Definitely will look to return in the future.

Stunning accomodation in the Hills
Everything about our stay at Hawk's ridge exceeded our expectations. Mary and Paul were such gracious hosts, the house was spotlessly clean and generously appointed with everything needed for a home away from home. The perfect base for exploring both Nelson and Moutere, the drive up the hill was worth it for the peace, tranquility and home made treats.

Lovely place and perfect for what we needed and more. Small bits and pieces provided just made our stay next level. House had everything we needed, it has a stunning view and the heaters were on before we got there! We will be back if our event is held in the same location.

Relaxing sanctuary
We had a wonderful time staying at Paul and Mary's accommodation. It was bigger than I expected and the outdoor decking is lovely for reading, having meals, etc. The kitchen is really well equipped and as others have commented, Mary's home baking and other extras were so appreciated. She even welcomed my parents for morning tea when they visited. And a lovely comfortable bed, which is so important on holiday!

Hawks Ridge Nelson
We have been renting holiday houses every year for more than 20 years and Paul and Mary were the friendliest, most generous hosts we have ever met, and we've met a few! Their property was pristine, modern yet warm and welcoming with fantastic views. Paul generously took time out of his busy schedule to show us around the property and explain its history and development. Mary made sure we weren't going to go hungry with a generous supply of homebaking, preserves, and many other assorted goodies awaiting us in the house on arrival. We were sad to leave Hawks Ridge and the company of Paul and Mary but we are already working on our next booking. Thank you so much to both of you.

Best house ever
This is the best house we have stayed in during our seven trips to New Zealand from the states. It was built by the owner, an experienced home builder, and great care was taken with the both the design and finish details. Great attention was paid to the fine finish work. The rooms are generous in size and pleasing to be in. The kitchen is really luxurious, and meticulously organized. The bathrooms are wonderful, with large showers, excellent water pressure, and plenty of hot water. The master bedroom bed is most comfortable. (We didn’t try the others) The wi-fi was excellent throughout the house and large deck, where we had our lunches and dinners. As if this house was not enough, the owners, Paul and Mary, are just naturally friendly, competent, open people, and both made sure to make us feel completely welcome. When we had a question or some need, they would be there, but otherwise, they were invisible. Mary is someone who enjoys baking, and provided us with all sorts of home made goodies; cookies, truffles, jams, cereal, bread, and their own small chicken flocks’ fresh eggs plus milk, coffee, wine, and lovely fresh flowers! They are both competent, open and genuinely friendly, and clearly wanted us to have an enjoyable stay. They take their responsibility of being hosts seriously, and with enjoyment. The setting is lovely, peaceful and quiet. Consider yourselves fortunate if you are able to make a reservation there.

Ein wunderbares Haus mit großartigen Gastgebern
Ich würde gerne mehr als 5 Sterne geben. Mary and Paul sind großartige und sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Sie haben uns tolle Tipps für Ausflugsziele gegeben und mit vielen leckeren Sachen versorgt. Das Haus ist sehr schön eingerichtet, sauber und komfortabel. In der Küche findet sich alles, was man braucht. Die Badezimmer sind groß und modern. Der Ausblick von der Terrasse ist traumhaft, man hört nur Naturgeräusche.

Awesome venue and hosts. Paul showed us around and we spoke of future trips down. Location was great.so peaceful and quiet. Hosts are so friendly and easy to deal with. We have already made plans to come down next year again and would not have any other place to stay. Facilities were great and everything was clean and tidy. Home away from home

Property beautifully presented and in a great spot. Far enough out of town to be peaceful and quiet, but close enough to beach and shops for them to be easily accessible by car for an hour's swimming or shopping, or a whole day out.

All that you need to relax
Mary and Paul have done a fab job of making Hawk's Ridge not only a beautiful clean place to stay, but a home away from home - providing guests with delicious food, wine and a full kitchen with all the small things thought of. The showers were luxurious, and we felt relaxed and settled straight away. The kids loved playing with all the toys and books. Thank you for a wonderful stay - we will definitely return and recommend!

Great value good quality holiday home.
Great value good quality holiday home. A rural location, tucked away in the hills. Great view, very peaceful. Nice outdoor deck space with barbecue, and we were invited to use the owners' extensive lawns too. The house is brand new, well equipped and very comfortable. Comfy beds, great shower rooms, and helpful additions like milk, breakfast cereal etcetera laid on. We extended our stay as we didn't want to leave! Highly recommended.

A haven of peace and luxury set in rolling Tasman hills. Beautifully presented with many personal touches and generous welcoming treats. Mary and Paul were the perfect hosts and a great example of New Zealand warmth and hospitality.
