Staff were so accommodating and thoughtful. The self contained 2 bedroom apartment was perfect for 4x adults and we loved that we could have the windows open. Location perfect for a gentle walk to a wonderful strip of restaurants and shops. Great location.

Spacious and clean room in the lovely town Nelson. The owner was really helpful for us when we were worrying about the ferry and the weather too - we made it across the strait in one piece lol! He was great to interact with and all of the staff were very helpful with recommendations for the area. The TV and cooking amenities were very good too. Thanks for a lovely stay
