A lot of dust on windowsills, long hair on the floors. Hard job to find the rubbish bins down the back had to ask the neighbours. Could do with a sign on the gate. Great to have the washing machine and dishwasher but we didn't spend much time at the complex.

Hi Peter,
Great feedback!
We'll add the rubbish area to the map we have at the apartment to make this clearer and we'll ask the complex to consider better signage for this area too!
Thanks also for letting us know there were some things we'd missed in the preparation of the property. Our apologies for this. The only other thing we could have asked was for you to let us know with enough time to rectify these things for you to properly enjoy your stay.
Very nice unit. The lighting was a bit dismal with a few bulbs
either not working or missing. The lock on the bathroom door was broken, which was very awkward for obvious reasons.
As much as we enjoyed our stay we felt that at the price charged, the standard should have been higher.

Thank you for this feedback Maggie, and we're glad you enjoyed your stay.
This apartment is deliberately set up so as not to be glarey and bright and it's on that you found a few lights were out. We'll double check that our team have picked up any necessary bulb changes, faulty switches or tripped circuits.
Keep in mind if you let your hosts know during your stay that something is amiss then most hosts would relish the opportunity to put this right for your right away :-)
All the best,
Jarrod - Holiday Nelson
Had a grate time. Enjoyed the property as always at Monaco. Grate location. will be back.
Two small things that could be addressed. Top left hand seaward window latch broken. And toilet kept running after the flush. Parking was good and for the most part right outside the door. As the booking was made from Australia by my daughter there was some slight issues getting in on the day, but ended up all good. Thanks for sharing your property with us. Cheers Ray & Jo-Anne.

Lovely cottage in a great location, in a really nice, quiet complex.
Lovely cottage in a great location, in a really nice, quiet complex. We stayed for 3 weeks and it felt like a home from home. We have family in Nelson, and would not hesitate to book again for our return trips.

Fantastic location, very central and a lovely outlook.
Fantastic location, very central and a lovely outlook. We enjoyed our stay at the cottage but it may feel a bit dark in the winter time.
We enjoyed the terrace with the fruit trees and the nice facilities. The pool was a great asset too.
