Positive: We liked this location just a bit out of Nelson in a quiet area but near to activities. We had everything we needed in the accommodation. The place was spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. Our host provided lots of tips for things to see around the Nelson area. Would be happy to stay there again.
Negative: Whilst there were all the appliances you need for meals, another power point could be useful. This is a minor problem.

Fantastic location with great facilities! This gorgeous spot has a lot to offer travellers, including a fully self contained unit, pool, bbq, friendly staff and a beautiful puppy 🐾 A coffee pod machine, breakfast supplies, milk in the fridge are really thoughtful touches too.
This place is fantastic value for money!
The birdsong and cicadas singing made this beautiful property feel very homely. The bed was SUPER comfy and would rival most 5 star hotels we have stayed in.
We stayed while attending the Moutere Hop 2026 event. The location offered really safe, off-road parking right outside the unit.
Thank you Tamsin and Andrew for sharing your beautiful property for such a reasonable price!
Positive:
A great place to stay. The host/hostess were welcoming and gave great assistance with places to visit and stay. Thank you.
Negative:
nothing.
Summary: An enjoyable stay, peaceful surroundings.
