Great place

This place was great. The owners have thought of everything; even a luggage scale. The location was perfect and the town of Nelson is my newest passion. Thanks!

Nice location, besides the view the tree could need a little pruning.

Sehr schöne Wohnung

Wir haben hier die Tage über Weihnachten verbracht und haben die sehr gut ausgestattete Küche sehr genossen. Die Wohnung ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet, das Bett sehr bequem und die Aussicht grandios. Bei unserem Aufenthalt blies der Wind stark vom Meer hinauf, so dass es nicht so gemütlich war, auf der Terrasse zu sitzen, dann ist das Sofa im Zimmer zu klein für zwei Personen. Vielleicht sollte über die Anbringung eines Windschutzes nachgedacht werden? Dann wäre auch ein Liegestuhl schön. Für das Wetter kann niemand etwas, daher trotzdem 5Sterne, da die Wohnung wirklich schön und sehr gut gelegen ist, man kann zu Fuß in die Stadt laufen, Wanderwege beginnen quasi am Haus und Nelson und Umgebung hat viel zu bieten.

A little sanctuary in the city

The cutest wee house with everything you could possibly need at your fingertips. A 10 minute walk to the city centre. I loved the sunny deck with the sea view. Literally felt like I was in a tree house. Thank you.

A Peaceful Haven

A lovely place to stay. Great view of harbour. Very quiet street. If ordering a taxi be aware that there is an Iwa Road (this property) and an Iwa Street. About $12 into Nelson central. Highly recommend a stay here.

Great views, beautifully set up, good location.

The furniture and furnishing was very tasteful and with beautiful recycled native timber, small but excellent lay-out. One night one of the neighbours was using a chainsaw for hours until 9PM. This was very annoying as we couldn't even hear the TV above the noise. The place was superficially cleaned with lots of dust underneath couch and bed remaining and stuff left in the oven
