We fell in love with the place and wished we could stay longer. The studio apartment was very well appointed - clean and modern. The view of the harbour and the Tasman Bay is to die for. Nelson is a great town - easy to get around and friendly people. Lots of things to do such as the Abel Tasman Coastal Trail, wine touring in Marlborough and kayaking in the Marlborough Sounds and more. Thank you to our hosts Maree and Craig for making us feel welcome and comfortable. I hope we will be back soon! Jessie and Allan ##### Jessie I.
