That’s what makes this place so special. The view from the master bedroom is unbeatable. We sat on the deck morning and night enjoying the views. The master bedroom has a radiant heat floor. It was really nice that there are two washers and two dryers. We were able to catch up on our laundry, as we were doing a 3 week road trip on the island. Cliff was quick to answer my questions. I would definitely recommend this place. ##### Mary H. Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dick S.

Unfortunately the beautiful pictures online do not do it justice. Waking up with a view of the entire bay out the master bedroom window, to sitting on the deck with a glass of wine at sunset, to relaxing in the hot tub, this home is just perfect. A wonderful place that makes me wish we could spend much more time in Nelson on our trip from Queenstown to Auckland. Maybe next time it will be our only destination. Cliff and Jenni, thanks for the use of your wonderful home. ##### Dick S. Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jarrett H.

The view was amazing, the house was well provisioned with thoughtful touches like coffee for the first day, and a kitchen with everything we needed to prepare meals. We most enjoyed spending time on the deck, and the view from the lovely spa. Everything was sparkling clean, and the host left an instruction book that addressed any questions you might have. The only suggestion I have would be to have enough fans for all the bedrooms in the warmer weather. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us. ##### Jarrett H.
