My wife and I stayed here for one night during our NZ road trip. Great hospitality provided by the owner and a lovely location up in the hills about 14km north of Nelson. We stayed above the barn (which I think is the only room on offer now) which is spacious and very well furnished with a v comfortable bed, and separate bathroom/shower. 
Lovely breakfast provided in the heated glasshouse in the morning. Owner is very interesting and loves a little chat. Extensive grounds - there is small pool but it had been closed a week or so before our stay. 
Would highly recommend if you want a little character with your stay. 

Great accommodation and breakfast -  a lot of character

Robert and Victor are the most welcoming of hosts to their little chunk of paradise. The room over the barn is very comfortable with windows overlooking the lovely gardens and pastures. It's quiet. You'll have the miniature horses, duck, alpacas to keep you company on the farm. Nelson, wine country, and Abel Tasman are all a short drive away.

An Idyllic Farm Stay

We are impressed with the amenities, hospitality and tranquility provided by Robert and Victor at Retiro Park. For a break away from a busy city lifestyle this rural retreat and garden was perfect. The little cottage has stacks of ambiance and your comfort is assured. The hosts are fun and so charming ! A truly unique setting and delightful hospitality  awaits you and we highly recommend.

Simply the best

I thoroughly recommend Retiro Park Lodge. We have had 5 nights here and it is without doubt the best B&B we have ever stayed. The breakfasts have been superb and our hosts Robert and Victor are lovely. They have treated us as family and will remain friends well into the future. The accommodation is great and the gardens superb.
We will hopefully return in the future

Wonderful Hosts

We stayed with Robert and Victor on their magnificent property over the weekend. Based on previous reviews our stay was everything we had hoped for and more. Good taste rules supreme here and the entire property is skillfully designed and maintained to yield an atmosphere that is more likely to be found in France or Italy. We read, had great conversations with our host   and sat in the balmy mid summer sun by the pool. A true break away from our busy world. Thanks Robert and Victor we hope to stay again.

Weekend Retreat

One night, quite late arrival and on the way too early! We really did not stay long enough at this wonderful and stunningly beautiful accommodation.

The grounds, from the time you enter the property are manicured and beautiful. The location is rural, a short, and well worth  the effort, drive from Nelson. Ponies and alpaca graze the paddocks. A small, perfect vineyard is a short stroll, a bottle of their Rose' was included and much appreciated and a lovely pool area is there to enjoy.

The accommodation is spacious, spotlessly clean and included everything to make us, as quests, comfortable.

The hosts are friendly, entertaining and passionate about providing the very best for travelers. Breakfast, prepared by Victor, was delicious and hearty and Roberts conversation and information was much enjoyed.

We will be back when next in Nelson and would highly recommend Retiro Park Lodge for anyone wishing to stay in the area.

Restful, beautiful surroundings

We only stayed one night on our way through Nelson. That was a mistake as we did not take full advantage of the lodge and all that it offers. 

Robert and Victor were excellent hosts. 

We stayed in the barn, a roomy self-contained building close to the house. It was warm and quiet and well equipped. 

We enjoyed a walk through the farm visiting miniature horses, and alpaca. 

It was an easy drive into Nelson for dinner. 

We were served a splendid breakfast (cooked by ‘the staff’ (Victor!)) with great variety of offerings. After breakfast and great conversation with them both (sometimes with both at the same time!) Victor showed us his own wine making system which uses their own grapes. We sampled some of his wine and were very impressed!

We would love to stay again if in the area. 


Unfortunately we only stayed 1 night

Robert and Victor are great hosts. If you are looking for an unique experience, this is it. Fabulous breakfast accommodating my many food allergies without skipping a beat! Great conversations, helpful information, interesting property with animals and vineyard to enjoy at your leisure on their trails. A treat for the senses!

Nights at the Lodge

We visited Roberts and Victors beautiful Retiro lodge around Christmas and have been overwhelmed with great friendship and luxurious treatment. We choose the beautifully located barn next to the main house and enjoyed two days of extraordinary hospitality in a very Tastefully decorated cabin 20 minutes out of Nelson.
Take a walk through the wine hills of Retiro and meet the alpacas or take a break underneath a tree to find some rest from your hectic trip. So peaceful. In the past 40 years Robert & Vic have managed to create a true treasure chest out of nothing and we can highly recommend to stay more than just a day or two. And please enjoy Victor’s brilliant breakfast and Roberts humorous anecdotes. What a character! When we come back to New Zealand we will definitely meet again!

Treasure Chest near Nelson

Such lovely peaceful surroundings just 15 mins from Nelson. Add the quality produce from the farm for breakfast. Plus a lovely welcome from our knowledgeable hosts.  How could you not enjoy a holiday here?  Thanks for our memorable stay Robert and Victor, we’d love to come back some day.
