Description

Tranquil Coastal Luxury with Sweeping Views

High above the rhythm of the harbour, Porto Sanctuary is an architectural haven crafted for total restoration. It features perfectly elevated views of Tasman Bay, passing ships navigating The Cut, and distant alpine peaks with an unmistakable sense of luxury. Designed for deep rest, fresh coastal air, and effortless calm, guests leave refreshed, recharged, and deeply restored.

The Villa & Restorative Spaces

Crafted with modern architectural precision, this newly completed sanctuary offers seamless luxury for up to six guests. Designed specifically around peaceful rejuvenation, the home features three spacious bedrooms—each a private retreat complete with a king-size bed, dedicated en-suite bathroom, and direct access to the views and terrace.
The master suite serves as the ultimate personal sanctuary, featuring a spa-inspired en-suite with a double shower, perfect views that encourage slow mornings and restorative sleep.

Living, Dining & The Horizon

At the heart of the home, open-concept living and dining spaces celebrate the natural light and vast ocean expanses. Sunlight streams through expansive glass, drawing your gaze toward a continuous maritime canvas: yachts and vessels navigating The Cut, the contours of Haulashore Island, and the dramatic mountain ranges across Tasman Bay.

- Gourmet Kitchen: Fully equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, inviting you to prepare meals against an ever-present coastal backdrop.
- Curated Interiors: A thoughtfully selected art collection enhances the home’s sophisticated, calming atmosphere.
- Year-Round Comfort: Underfloor heating and ducted climate control ensure cozy winter evenings and cool summer retreats.
- Oversized Ocean Terrace: Step onto the expansive private deck for alfresco dining, morning coffee, or evening glasses of local farms as the sun sets over the bay.

Privacy & Location

Set within a secure, gated footprint with private parking and a double carport, Porto Sanctuary feels world’s away while remaining exceptionally connected.
Directly from your door, access coastal walking tracks and scenic biking trails. Within minutes, immerse yourself in Nelson’s vibrant culture—from award-winning boutique vineyards and craft breweries to local markets, artisan galleries, and waterfront dining.

Whether watching the gentle movement of ships from the terrace or sinking into deep, uninterrupted sleep, Porto Sanctuary offers an unparalleled coastal getaway where luxury and serenity meet.

Beautiful Sunset Views

We had a lovely stay here - a modern house with many luxury touches, a beautiful porch overlooking the water, a close walk or drive to the town of Nelson. Would stay again!”
