Excellent accommodation in Nelson. The house was spacious, comfortable, well equipped and had everything we needed for our stay. We were in Nelson for work, and it made an ideal base for us throughout our time there. A huge highlight was being able to have our dogs stay as well — this was such a bonus and something we greatly appreciated. Finding great accommodation that is truly pet friendly can be difficult, so this really stood out for us. The home was easy to settle into, well maintained and made our time in Nelson much easier. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend it.

My wife and I stayed here for 11 nights in February/March, and found the house generally well set up. We enjoyed the path right outside the back door that went along the brook, and also enjoyed its proximity to the Brook Reserve, which we visited three times, and is amazing. We had problems with the dryer, which was only because we didn’t know how to empty the water from it, and emailed her on a Sunday. Monday afternoon her son appeared with a new dryer, installed it, and showed us how to operate it. The king bed was very comfortable, and the larger queen was also. The internet speed was blazingly fast, and the water pressure was amazing, with immediate hot water when desired. The main bathroom had been completely renovated with a very nice shower. A pleasant holiday for us.
