We had a really wonderful stay at Chris' place. Truly stunning views (ate every meal on the lovely porch), super spacious, beautifully and tastefully decorated. Even had a whole host of spices - so nice to have for a longer term stay. Given the lush trees and plants around the place it's incredibly private as well. Desk in the bedroom and table for dining meant that my partner and I both had a separate place to work which was a HUGE plus.
Unfortunately the internet was pretty in and out when we were there however Chris was super communicative and helpful and offered to buy a hotspot (we already had one, so that wasn't necessary). He's upgrading to fibre now based on our issues so future guests shouldn't have the same problems.
One more note is that it was a tad further from town than I would have liked on foot (around 25 min each way), mostly due to the incredibly powerful Nelson sun. Would be perfect if you have a bike. That being said, I would stay here again in a heartbeat. Truly lovely place with everything you could hope for.
