Short Holiday stay

We had a lovely 3 days here. The location is perfect and everything was there to have a comfortable stay. The only problem was the road noise at night from the master bedroom but we may have been a bit more sensitive to it being from the country.

Hi Stephanie, thank you for your feedback. We're glad you enjoyed the apartment and we're sorry if there was any disturbance to your nights during your stay. It may well be that you're used to somewhere less central or it may have been a busy night along the waterfront road. Thanks again for staying. Jarrod - Holiday Nelson

Lovely apartment, shame about the noise

A lovely apartment with a beautiful view but there was a constant loud noise from the very heavy traffic on Highway 6 outside the balcony we never got to use.The only break we got was between 1.30am and 4am when the truck and trailer units carrying logs, containers, wood chips and general cargo were taking a break.

Lovely apartment with gorgeous views.

Lovely apartment with gorgeous views. We found the apartment stunning with the comfiest bed in the master bedroom than any we have stayed in. Would highly recommend. Worth the price. Waking up to the view of the sea and watching the sail boats in the evening was a treat.

Top location on Nelson’s waterfront

This is a wonderful apartment for families, friends or couples wanting to experience the lifestyle that Nelson has to offer. Beautifully appointed, with every consideration for the traveller thought of. Undercover secure parking and walking distance to some incredible restaurants. Our hostess could not have been any more thorough in her introduction to her apartment and it was lovely to meet her. This property is exceptionally clean and tidy and the beds are extremely comfy. Would definitely stay here again if in town,
