Te Puna Wai is an ornate, historic, three storey Victorian Villa, built in 1857 and sited in a
commanding position on Nelson's Port Hills.
Host Richard Hewetson spent 9 years performing a sensitive restoration and adding luxurious
guest accommodation (and central heating) to the home with an eclectic art collection also filling the house.
The unsurpassed view of Haulashore Island, Tasman Bay and the Arthur mountain ranges
played a major contributing factor toward Te Puna Wai being included in the National Business
Review Magazine's inaugural list of the "Top 100 Houses
in New Zealand"
