It was a pleasure to host Nick and his family to stay at our house. The house was left very clean and communication was excellent.

Maree & David
Lovely home with a wonderful view, complete with gorgeous sunsets! The house is well appointed with a full kitchen and bbq, comfortable beds, showers, tub, and laundry. David and Maree were easy to communicate with and provided travel information and tips. We wish we could have stayed longer!
Lovely house, beautiful views. Clean, tidy and very well equipped, had everything we needed. Only recommendation would be a hair dryer - these are bulky to carry in suitcases when travelling overseas.
Hosts lovely to communicate with. Thanks Maree and David!

Judy was an excellent guest, communication was good and left our home in excellent condition, thank you Judy.
We have no hesitation in recommending Judy to future hosts.
We were originally booked to stay 9 nights at Maree and David's place but only got to enjoy 4 nights due to a medical emergency. Our shortened stay was delightful and we very much enjoyed the views from the elevated position and the comfort the property provided. All the other reviews are accurate in describing what the property offers. We very much appreciated the bird song in the surrounding area.We were sorry to have to leave the property in such a rush and appreciated David and Maree's help to allow that to happen. Highly recommended.

It was a pleasure having Anthony and his wife stay at our property.
Anthony was easy to communicate with prior to and during their stay in our home.
Anthony left our house in a very clean condition, we would highly recommend Anthonyto other hosts and would host him again.
We are very pleased to hear that he found our property as he expected and that the reviews were an accurate reflection of our property.
Hosts were very welcoming and friendly. Took time to show us through and answer questions. That all couldn't have been better and the home was very comfortable and well appointed. We loved the views and the sunsets!
We spent 6 wonderful nights in this lovely house. Very warm and modern with the option of two different decks to choose to sit on. Owners were helpful and contactable. Very relaxing with birds in the backyard . Loved how there were empty drawers and cupboard space to unpack into. Would stay here again and definitely recommend it.
Fantastic Home in Great Location, Didn't Want to Leave
We absolutely loved our stay at this home. It is in a prime location with good sunlight and great views towards Motueka / Rabbit Island. Out back is a peaceful and safe yard with plenty of room and also home to a few Tui's. Having the trees around really makes it feel like a nice secluded area and not just back to back housing. The upper balcony looks also over Nelson Airport so makes a great spot for watching planes landing and taking off. Depending on the wind you might hear some engine noise from the runway but it was certainly not loud enough to be of any issue, just faint enough to know in case we wanted to get up and look. The lights in the city look amazing at night.
The house is well equipped with everything we could need and the 'starter pack' in the fridge when we arrived was a very nice touch. There are enough cups and plates and bowls etc. to never worry about running out of kitchen items. On arrival the house was well presented, and cleaned to an exceptionally high standard. You are also set with cooling and heating so temperature was never an issue for us. The only suggestion for improvement we have would be a slightly higher shower head for tall people. Beds and couches are very comfortable.
We found the location of the home just right. Trips to Richmond were easy when we needed groceries or a quick K-Mart shop but it is also close enough to Nelson that you can drive over and look around fairly quickly. It is a very short drive to get on the highways towards Mapua or Takaka so those day trips can start without the hassle of getting through town first.
We only needed to contact the hosts once and they were very friendly and pleasing to work with. Everything in the home had obviously had care and thought put into making it feel welcoming.
All around a 5 out of 5 star rating and we would definitely have this home in mind when returning. We were so impressed with the presentation on arrival and after our stay it was sad to leave such a beautiful home.
I would recommend this bookabach to anyone looking for pleasant, handy and comfortable stay near Nelson.
