The view was stunning, we enjoyed the sunset from the terrace and later also from the lounge area inside. The kitchen, bedroom and bathroom were clean, spacious and very well equipped. The info pack with recommendations and background story of the owners gave the stay a personal touch.

The continental breakfast was outstanding. We'll presented. I even got a phone call to check if it was convenient to deliver the breakfast tray to the room. The bed was so soft and comfy. Spa bath was a real treat.

Fab place - affordable but quality. Great facilities. Free laundry including complimentary soap powder. Sky TV on the night the All Blacks played Eng was a huge bonus. Surprisingly no traffic noise despite being close to the main road. Great lication - great takeaways within a 5-10 min walk. Beach a pleasant stroll. I could have walked to the airport even. I couldn't fault it.

The view out to sea from the property was priceless, espeically at sunset. We had oringinally booked a table for dinner nearby, but after arriving at the property and seeing the view, decided to cancel dinner. Instead, we just bought food back so that we can enjoy the view. Sunrise the next morning was just as incredible. The property also had everything we need, so we were very comfortable. Should have stayed for a few more days...

The title says it all - Waterfront Bliss. The unit is self contained away from the main house and has private decking to sit and enjoy the views, sunsets, the ships and yachts coming into the harbour. We went to Nelson for mountain biking and we were able to store our ebikes in their garage. Some very good restaurants within walking distance and a short drive into the CBD. Good communication from the owners who were very helpful.
