Spacious apartment on the hill

ChrisRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Joanne and David were very generous and kind hosts. We enjoyed their company very much - it was as if they were long lost friends. The apartment was high quality with luxurious touches. A fully functional kitchen was supported by a large range of pantry items and treats. Probably the best Airbnb bed we have ever slept in. Great wifi and television with a range of program options. We were permitted to garden forage which supplied us with a huge amount of fruit and herbs. Private parking for our car, washing machine and deck with BBQ made for a very enjoyable and memorable stay.

A bright lounge area features a spacious sofa adorned with cushions and a throw blanket. A dining table with chairs sits nearby. Large glass doors provide access to a private balcony and showcase views of the sea and greenery.

Beach house

AnnetteRating, 5 stars1 month ago

We loved staying here in this beautiful roomy 2 bedroom house in sunny Nelson. Loved the outdoor living with spacious deck, patio furniture and plants. House was immaculate, with quality appliances and linens. It was made even more comfortable with AC - much appreciated in the warm afternoons.

A vibrant living area features orange leather couches adorned with contrasting cushions, positioned around a light wooden coffee table. A decorative centerpiece rests on the table, with a textured black rug underfoot. A floral accent wall adds a lively touch to the space.

Sea Views, Stunning Sunsets, Comfy Apartment

CarlRating, 5 stars1 day ago

Perfect location for us close to a friend’s house on the waterfront. Easy walk to three restaurants and we used the bikes supplied to bike to Tahunanui Beach. Great balcony but a little noisy at times which can expected for the waterfront location beside the road. We would certainly stay again.

Walk to beach, self-contained

BrentRating, 5 stars2 months ago

A clean, well-appointed base camp for exploring the region. About equidistant from the mail boat ride out of Havelock and the southern access to Abel Tasman National Park. Nelson itself was a revelation of good restaurants, an interesting regional museum, and a lovely beach just down the hill from the Airbnb. Ales and Michelle were stellar hosts, responsive and friendly. The house was just right for two, with an efficient kitchen set-up, great amenities and a fabulous view of the beach, the bay, and the mountains beyond. Would definitely stay there again.

Studio 32

StephanieRating, 5 stars2 months ago

Caroline’s place was just divine! The photos don’t do it justice as once you walk inside, it’s the most calming and relaxing environment! The area is so quiet at night and the cool breeze makes for a magnificent sleep! The shower is straight from a day spa and the bed is super comfy! There were so many teas to choose from and there was a nice bottle of Pinot Noir waiting for me 😊 Highly recommend Caroline’s if you’re wanting a home away from home 🏡

Nelson Beachfront Luxury Apartment

BranaghRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Such a lovely place to stay! We travelled to Nelson for a work related trip and this had absolutely everything we needed. Beautiful views over the ocean and walkable distance to a few nearby restaurants. We had one minor inconvenience on day one where one of us was stuck in the lift (just a note to not have bags against the walls!) - something we would have known had we read the booklet inside, however as we were using the lift to get our bags upstairs we hadn't quite got that far... Vivienne was great on the phone and her and they helped us sort this out quickly. Overall a great stay/location and would recommend highly to other guests :)

Smyth's home was a complete oasis for our month stay, we always looked forward heading back here at the end of the day! Beautiful scenery and lots of open space around.

Central Sunny Cottage with sea view

DebbieRating, 5 stars3 days ago

An absolutely beautiful home which we felt very comfortable in as soon as we walked in. Stunning art work on the walls, clean and comfy beds, a sweet private garden with ocean views, what more could you ask for! The home had plentiful space for the 4 of us, including a study area which my partner was able to work in quietly. If we ever came back to Nelson I would definitely hope to stay here again. Thanks Annabel!
