Mark and Jon were the most hospitable hosts and made us feel right at home! The garden apartment was clean and comfortable, with all instructions and information provided. It is also very conveniently located within walking distance to the town area where shops and restaurants are located. Parking is free and breakfast was provided (it was lovely!). We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend to anyone visiting nelson.

This home is an absolute gem! It feels so fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed - we had an incredibly comfortable stay. It is modern, stylish, and clean with beautiful and functional spaces. The location is great; tucked away in a peaceful neighbourhood but perfectly situated for easy access to Nelson, Abel Tasman, and other destinations. The house itself is spacious, pristine, and well-equipped, with great water pressure in the showers. Hayden and Krysta go above and beyond with their hospitality - their communication was wonderful and there were little thoughtful touches that made the stay extra special. This place is definitely worth every dollar. Highly recommend, and would absolutely stay again!

    Room to move in accommodation. Sky tv gave great entertainment options, lots of activities (some free) for the kids, beds comfy, clean, and super great staff... nothing was a problem and all service with a smile. Totally worth the trip and i will definitely book again. Great place for families. So close to everything including fishing at the beach. Kids loved the activities on offer. Thanks for an awesome holiday!

    Our whole family group could all stay together and the house was set up well for large groups. Having 2 bathrooms was excellent! We had an event at the conference centre so it was very convenient being able to stay right next door to it. Lots for kids to do around the area too.

    House was very clean .. perfect for what we needed. With small children the doors had locks up top that the kids couldn't reach so no worries they would run outside & onto the road. There was 7 of us 2 adults 16, 10, 6 & 4yo twins. We had alot of space & it wasn't confined. Loved it .. self checkin was super easy, Host was Absolutely brilliant with contact & replys.

    It was clean, tidy & it was a two bedroom apartment which suited our family. We booked quite short notice for a wedding we had on. The hotel was very central and close to everything. The school park across the road was a bonus for our small children.
