Take it easy at this unique and tranquil seaside retreat.

Located on an island in the Waimea Estuary close to Richmond, Nelson and Mapua Camelot Island Retreat is incredibly peaceful and rural and the ideal base for adventures to the city centers, the vineyards and wineries and the Green Acres & Tasman Golf Courses.

The most perfect vacation home
A gorgeous place that had everything we could have asked for. We had a wonderful weekend despite the weather. With a picturesque backyard and a well equipped house, Camelot was one of the best South Island stays we have been to. We are definitely coming back for a longer stay next year.
