Split Apple Lodge, Kaiteriteri













Split Apple Retreat is a luxury lodge right in the middle of the Abel Tasman National Park, near Nelson. It is named after the Split Apple Rock, one of the area’s most famous geological formations. Besides enjoying some of the country’s best hikes, a trove of sheltered beaches and lots of sea-kayaking opportunities, the lodge also has quite a few relaxing treats up its sleeve: a Japanese spa that overlooks the bay, a yoga pavilion and a meditation centre, as well as massage therapy treatments and nourishing cooking lessons.
