Fodor's Expert Review Kimi Ora Eco Resort
Martins Farm Rd., Kaiteriteri, Nelson, 7197, New Zealand
The cozy wood walls and simple furnishings of the guest quarters are part of the philosophy here: Kimi Ora means "seek health" in Māori, and this aims to be an environmentally friendly, health-oriented resort. There's a vegetarian restaurant (not always open so call first), and activities and therapies are geared to holistic health. For all the pampering, the overall vibe is low-key. Day visitors are welcome for therapies, including spa, steam room, and pool facilities.
PROS
- bordered by a mix of exotic forest and regenerating native bush
- all the rooms have distant sea views
- geared toward healthy living
CONS
- 10-minute walk to Kaiteriteri Beach
- native birdsong will wake you early
- healthy lifestyle isn't for everyone
