This place is beautiful and spacious. As it's someone's holiday home it has everything you need including pantry staples, bedding, games and even Netflix. The home has the option of a secure courtyard and/or a larger garden for your fur babies so you can feel comfortable leaving your dog home whilst you go exploring. The pub next door was very quiet and provided a handy option for dinner (however menu is quite basic with limited vegetarian options). Please note there there is nowhere else to dine out in Nelson so you would have to head to Mt Gambier. The ocean beach is fabulous and only a 2 minute drive away. The only issues I can see are that there is limited noise attenuation between the upstairs and downstairs bedrooms (ie. you can hear people talking in the other rooms) and that there is no air-conditioning in the home, which would only be an issue during extremely hot weather (upstairs) as the home is made of stone and stays very cool with sea breezes.
