Welcome to The Mudcastle

Perfect for couples seeking complete privacy or for small groups wanting a unique getaway location with all that the Nelson Tasman region has to offer right on the doorstep. Handmade quite literally from the ground up; each brick and floor tile has been crafted using local materials and each leadlight window has been created specifically for the space in which it sits.
Boutique accommodation caters for up to 16 guests in a choice of enchanting suites and cosy rooms.
Other facilities include a comfortable lounge area, library, fully licensed bar, and complimentary Wi-Fi. Please note that due to our rural location we have very limited cell phone coverage.
