A restored villa above Nelson
Breakfast on its way to the verandah
The people behind Kōwhai Lane
We restored this villa to open it as a three-room bed and breakfast, and we still cook every guest's breakfast from our own garden.
Introducing Kōwhai Lane
We restored this villa above Nelson to open its doors as a three-room bed and breakfast. Each morning we cook breakfast from our own garden — eggs from the hens, fruit from the orchard behind the house.
