Intimate retreat to Abel Tasman N.P.
The Split Apple Retreat, taped to a rock face, has a spectacular location on the north coast of the South Island. The intimate, well-being-focused retreat is named after the tokangawhā / Split Apple Rock, the perfectly in half-cut spherical rock found in Tasman Bay. Set in a stunning beach setting overlooking Abel Tasman National Park, owners Lee and Pen Nelson are taking bespoke wellness programs, outstanding hosting and fine dining to an unprecedented level. Split Apple Retreat is one of the most serene and soothing places of the Southern Hemisphere, where the world can't find you...
