Welcome to our home
Natura Ecohome was built to demonstrate sustainable living, and now we are opening it to offer you unique accommodation while you visit beautiful Nelson and this spectacular region.
A truly unique accommodation on 9 acres of private, pristine bush, 10 minutes drive from Nelson, New Zealand.
The Natura Ecohome is completely self-sufficient -- solar powered and heated, harvesting rainwater, LED lighting, greywater system, composting toilet, and built of sustainably-harvested and recyclable materials. Inside, the home is finished using only solid wood, no pressed board or plywood anywhere, and is furnished with the most natural, sustainable furnishings and textiles, as well as fair trade items.
... It’s the ultimate in healthy, eco, and organic!
While you enjoy the inspiring design features, sunshine and sea views from every room, let us pamper you with organic mattresses and bedding, (the 2 loft sleeping areas have locally made all natural futons)... and if desired, organic vegetarian meals.
Natura Eco Homestay is a healthy sanctuary away from the cares of the world. Relax and retreat... or let us show you the stunning sites nearby. We’ll take you for swims in the sea, and day trips (or overnight) to some of the special places we know.
To enhance your experience here, we can link you with the finest healers, massage therapists, or yoga instructors, and even design a sacred journey into environments that reflect your inner quest.
Whether escaping from your busy life in New Zealand, or a busier one overseas, let us create a well-being plan for you that suits your needs for adventure or healing... or a bit of both.
The Eco Homestay has a guest room with cosy window seat, and a sleeping loft available for up to 2 additional family members. There is a separate wee cottage entirely built from recycled materials, with a sleeping loft, outdoor shower and outhouse, set amongst gum trees, with gorgeous sea views.
Daryl, the host, lived here very happily for 2 years.
The entire house (excluding the cottage) can be rented for a 5-night minimum stay, giving you two bedrooms and the loft.
Or you may rent the guest room or cottage (and loft if needed), for a 2-night minimum stay.
