About this property

Stunning, sunny, private, romantic, immaculate and sumptuous getaway, rural-yet-close-to-village, contemporary designer apartment/studio. Beautiful art and gorgeous views.
French doors open onto decks with farm, valley, mountain and glimpses of sea views beyond. The Paris Suite is part of 4 bdrm Copper Gate - the other 3 bedrooms are 'closed off' and unoccupied for your stay.
The Paris Suite (+ Corru Gate #1334; Kissing Gate glamping (rated by TripAdvisor in the world's top 14 glamping sites) feature an 'arty' NZ flavour on a farmlet. Set in 7 acres of fields and fruit trees near Mapua seaside village, The Paris Suite is creatively themed in heritage NZ domesticity yet has smart, ultra-modern design with top-quality linen and embellishments.
Corru Gate + Copper Gate + Kissing Gate are built with sustainability and family-friendliness in mind. Built as an eco-architect project in partnership with Polytech students, it is one of NZ's most eco of eco-homes. We value our natural environment (open spaces, birds, native trees). We've spray-free orchards – grab a lemon for your GandT on the deck, or enjoy a delicious breakfast grapefruit or free-range eggs (in season). Hand-feed our tame sheep. Super insulation and a woodburner make for toasty-warmness in winter. Cool in summer.
Weddings and reunions? We can sleep up to 18 at The Gates.
A large lounge, chef's-delight kitchen, en suite and sumptuous king-bed bedroom are a pleasure to relax in.

The Gates Accommodation

Highly recommend this property. The house and surrounding property are lovely. Adele and Roger were very easy to deal with. The property is lovely and peaceful and private. The house was very well presented and the full kitchen facilities were great.

About the host

Hosted by rogell664

Adele and I love sharing our 7 acres of Nelson paradise with guests - we are 150m away, which leaves the Paris Suite as discreetly private as can be. We are well travelled and enjoy pottering on our orchards and fields as well as creative pursuits - one of our accommodations has been profiled by TripAdvisor in the top 14 most awesome and creative places in the WORLD!

Why they chose this property

We wanted a lifestyle that was private, rural and with great views, as well as being close to a city. Our property in Seaton Valley ticked all the boxes! Our wee local village means it is rich in networks and a sense of belonging and contribution.
Roger was asked to teach Outdoor Education locally, so why not move from Auckland to this outdoors paradise? Adele continued her corporate life, telecommuting, until our children's arrival put a temporary stop to that. We now both work part-time off the property but pour our passion for creativity and guest service in to our property: The Gates Accommodation. We farm sheep and grow fruit.

What makes this property unique

Near Mapua seaside village (cafes, beaches, studios, artisans). Cycle to wineries and quiet countryside. Unique creative touches and semi-luxury accommodation. City nearby and THREE national parks an easy drive away.
