Fabulous in every way

We really appreciated the opportunity owners gave us to rent their property for four days. Location was very handy to both Stoke and Nelson. Property was spacious, very clean and comfortable and had amazing views off the deck. Would heartily recommend to anyone wishing an enjoyable, relaxing stay in this area

Perfectly Equipped House

Very easy check in process. The house is just perfectly equipped with everything you could possibly need on holiday. Almost as good as at home. Hardly any utensil you can imagine is missing in the kitchen. One could bake and cook and create almost as well as at home. Good quality Bosch White-ware so your washing turns out good too. There are games for the kids, Wifi for the older kids and adults, TV & DVD player. Fridge with Ice-Maker and a nice outdoor area to eat and relax. The house is bright and sunny and not far from the hospital which is convenient depending on your purpose of stay. Really positive was that the property manager allowed essentials such as Oil, Vinegar, Marmite, Salt, Pepper, Dishwashing liquid to be left behind from previous visiting parties. It perfectly rounds up the positive experience in that house. There are only 2 negative things we recall: 1. The curtains in the master bedroom are just to prevent people from looking inside . They do not darken the room one little bit. Makes sleeping in the morning very hard. Bed could be a little bigger but that is a minor personal preference. 2. Complicated booking process. Once the house is booked and paid the property manager will contact you froma different email address and request a deposit payment. That is confusing and can easily be overlooked in the spam folder. Non payment makes the booking void and can then lead to disappointment. This should be a one step process at the initial booking. Overall this is a very nice house with views over the ocean and airport. Extremely well equipped and well looked after. House is clean and linen with towels provided!. We would book it again.

Beautiful house in a beautiful place

This house is stunning and big enough for a very comfortable family get together. Great attention to detail and everything you need. Stunning views across the bay. Good location, near airport but within easy drive of supermarkets and town centre. Holidays Nelson are great to deal with and very responsive. Thank you for a lovely break!

The home was clean and well stocked

The home was clean and well stocked. We thoroughly enjoyed the patio and the amazing views. the area is quiet , yet convenient to town and all the activities. The master suite was warm when we were there and there were no fans on the premises. Also, would have preferred the master to have a king size bed. we would recommend the home to our friends.

The house was amazing

The house was amazing. Everything you could possibly require was provided and clear instructions were provided. Our group loved the location and particularly enjoyed being able to sit outside, admire the view (especially the snow on the mountains). I would definitely recommend this house to anyone visiting Nelson.

Great for company accommodation

This accommodation was great for team building for our staff members. They came from Christchurch to complete a job and it was cost effective to have them all stay at the one place. They were happy with the location and the size of the accommodation. We will definitely use you in the future if we have this many employees having to stay overnight. Once again thanks you.

Simply the best

Simply the best. Comfortable, spotless, great beds, a kitchen with everything and those beautiful views. One little glitch ... two year old ended up with extensive splinters on hands and legs after playing on the deck with her little cars. Otherwise, a beautiful family holiday in sunny Nelson. Thank you for sharing your lovely home.
