3 adults, 3 nights in early May (forecast had been for rain & possible thunderstorms - turned out brilliantly sunny with clear blue skies ... you gotta love Nelson !). This was possibly our favourite accommodation on our 12 day trip around Nelson/Marlborough Sounds (certainly in top 2 ... it had been my preferred Nelson accommodation right from initial planning in Feb, stood out as frontrunner immediately). Plush, clean, impressively-designed & immaculately-presented home ... both upmarket yet very comfortable & homely - esp with new soft high-quality carpet throughout. Tasteful relaxing neutral colour scheme of decor. Bedrooms were beautifully-presented & very comfortable (2 of them located on same floor as (1) upmarket bathroom with toilet & (2) separate toilet nextdoor) - esp important if your guest group includes elderly as ours did. Lounge is fantastic - very cosy, great views & I finally got to see Ricky Gervais's After Life on the large screen TV (all 3 seasons - 1 for each night we were there). State-of-the-Art kitchen (as you can see, slightly higher & detached from dining room & lounge to allow a degree of privacy between rooms ... + the aesthetically pleasing Wow factor of this multi-level design). All kitchen utensils & gadgets you could ever need (only issue was initial difficulty activating induction cooktop - though worked it out eventually ... possibly could do with basic step-by-step instructions for the woefully simple-minded like me). Beautiful leafy & very peaceful neighbourhood (while you can occasionally hear noise from the Port when you're outside, albeit off in distance - rest assured it's perfectly quiet inside the house), the multi-tiered garden is pure joy, esp in sunshine, terraces of green lawn, bushes & plenty of bright multi-coloured flowers & butterflies ... while the views weren't quite in the spectacular category, they were still highly impressive both of the sea & the attractive, sunny neighbourhood & surroundings. Further, the home incl handy facets you don't always see in other accommodation = washing machine separate from dryer, free WiFi, all linen provided, rubbish disposal, cleaning service, prominent Clock on dining room wall, an unusually impressive book selection. Elderly guests & those with mobility issues should be aware of maybe 10-12 internal stairs from front door to main floors - but its carpeted with handrail & wasn't too much trouble for my elderly parents. Overall 5 out of 5. Higly Recommended.

4.0 / 5.0
The location is excellent with a beautiful view of the Nelson waters. After some uphill/downhill walks we walked into the centre of Nelson (about 25 minutes as an avid walker, also had two young kids with me).
The garden around the property was great and although a little chilly in the spring the little heaters helped.
