The name Pohutukawa comes from one of our unique native trees. The Pohutukawa tree is an evergreen beauty that blooms its bright red flowers in December. For this reason, we also refer to it as the New Zealand Christmas Tree. It is associated with the Maori legend Tawhaki - symbolizing the strength & beauty of New Zealand’s landscape.

Testimonials

Pohutakawa Nov 24

The most stunning location, and house to match! We made the most of sitting in the lounge, reading and soaking up the view. The house is beautiful - we can see how thought and care went in to the design. The kitchen is fully equipped, and we cooked each night of our stay and again, enjoyed the view. Such a restful and peaceful three day stay. We'd love to come back!

We had an amazing time! The best view I have ever had at an Airbnb! All the creature comforts of staying in civilization but a little bit out there. We loved being able to explore the island and be only 25 minutes from Nelson. The turkeys and sheep were curious and I think they enjoyed having us around. We will come stay again!
