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. A hot-tub, infrared sauna, kayaks and a breathtaking view of the Tasman Bay and Nelson Ranges from the waterfront garden and balconies will make you feel like Kings and Queens at Camelot.
The neighbourhood is peaceful, quiet, tight knit and safe.
