A beautiful period property in extensive grounds on the edge of town. We felt completely at home and enjoyed the space and the facilities. We particularly appreciated having a full working kitchen which made catering for ourselves really easy.

Rivington Cottage

AntoniaRating, 5 stars1 month ago

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rivington Cottage. Sally and Ian made us feel right at home and were so accomodating to our children. We had loads of fun playing Nerf battles through the garden and on the tennis court. The cottage itself was perfect with beautiful views lots of space and the perfect get away for some much needed quality family time Would recommend to anyone :) Thank you Sally and Ian for an amazing weekend away !

The living area features polished wooden floors, accentuated by a large area rug at the center. A comfortable sofa and armchair provide seating, while decorative light fixtures hang from the ceiling. A modern fireplace adds warmth to the space, complemented by natural light from large windows.

Restful Retreat - Great Location

CraigRating, 5 stars2 days ago

Amanda, thank you. The place was exactly as described - a little down the road from where I used to live in Nelson when I was growing up, so I know the area really well. The house provided a central location for us, and we were lucky it was available at such short notice. We hadn't planned a visit to Nelson, but a series of sad family events brought us there abruptly. We only booked a day or two before arriving (unusual for us), but you made it all very easy. The place was easy to find, and central to town and to supermarkets with a car. Also very close to the bike paths. Quiet street across from the Broads close to Nelson Hospital. Nice hot shower with good pressure and plenty of room for us with our two grown sons. Kitchen is well equipped. Very responsive host. Next time we're in Nelson we'll look to see if this place is available first, before looking elsewhere in town.

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 week 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.

Sun soaked quiet flat on the hill, sparkling new!

AlexandraRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago

I had an excellent stay here - highly recommend. The hosts were friendly and responsive, and the flat was quiet, private, and peaceful. The location was great, close to everything in Nelson. I enjoyed walking around the neighbourhood. The wifi wasn't great for Zoom calls, but it was totally fine for everything else, including streaming TV and general internet use. I would definitely stay here again. Oh, and the bed was incredibly comfortable!

Spacious apartment on the hill

ChrisRating, 5 stars3 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.
