Natalia and Carl's magical mountain oasis outside of Nelson, was by far one of the most exceptional places we've ever stayed! Their care, love of the land, terrific taste, and wonderfully accommodating natures, made for an unforgettable experience all around. The house itself is a hidden gem - perfectly integrated with its surroundings and remarkable in its own right. So many great touches and details - the views are out of this world - the pictures don't truly do it justice. This part of New Zealand has so much to offer and we took advantage of our natural surrounds - from Abel Tasman all the way past Nelson into Marlborough Sounds. However, the best part of each night of our week long stay, was coming "home" to their Peak View Retreat house, and basking in the late day sun - hearing sounds of nature - and just feeling grateful to be alive! We would recommend them and their incredibly special mountain home unequivocally. You will not be disappointed here. We were sad to leave and will be back no doubt! Hopefully sooner rather than later. Best, Lauren
